Ratonhnhaké꞉ton by callybear

Format: Commander

Commander: Ratonhnhaké꞉ton

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Esper Equipment/Assassin voltron deck built around Ratonhnhake ton. The commander's built-in hexproof and "can't be blocked" status make him a reliable damage dealer, and his combat trigger creates an Assassin token while reattaching an Equipment from the graveyard - turning every successful hit into a miniature recursion engine. The deck layers in a secondary Assassin package with Ramses, Assassin Lord, Rooftop Bypass, and freerunning spells, plus a hidden Equipment-commander suite in Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist, Arna Kennerud, Skycaptain, and Stonehewer Giant. Wins come from commander damage via Colossus Hammer/Excalibur, Sword of Eden with double-strike effects, the one-shot Vorpal Sword activation, or the Ramses "first death wins the game" shortcut.
