Noctis by Anuskat

Format: Commander

Commander: Noctis, Heir Apparent

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Esper equipment-Ninja tempo built around Noctis, Heir Apparent. The primary line is to put Noctis into combat with a large Equipment-often Colossus Hammer-attached for free via the combat-enters trigger, then close with commander damage. The secondary line is Ninjutsu: evasive attackers are bounced into Thousand-Faced Shadow, Fallen Shinobi, and Yuriko, which generate cards, tempo, and life loss. Noctis's Warp-Strike gives a repeatable unblockable attack, and Vorpal Sword gives a deterministic one-player kill once the deck has eight mana. The supporting equipment package (Stoneforge, Sigarda's Aid, Halvar, Forge Anew) lets the deck function if Noctis is answered. Yuriko acts as a pseudo-hidden commander for the Ninja subtheme.
