No Dáin, No Gain by Boralin

Format: Commander

Commander: Dáin of the Ancient Halls

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Boros Dwarf tribal deck wins by going wide with Dwarves and Equipment and closing with combat damage plus Dain's burn. Dain of the Ancient Halls is the central engine - a 4/5 with vigilance and haste that deals damage equal to your Dwarf count to each opponent whenever he attacks. You build that count with token makers like Fili the Pathfinder, Thorin King of Durin's Folk, and The Lonely Mountain, then boost the board with Equipment payoffs. Secondary paths use Twinflame Tyrant to double all damage, Genji Glove for extra combats, and Helm of the Host or Embercleave to end games through combat. Magda, Brazen Outlaw acts as a hidden commander for Treasure ramp and tutoring.
