Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-white Equipment-token hybrid deck helmed by Ekthi, Contaminator Priest. The commander's ability gives every Equipment you control living weapon, creating a 0/0 black Phyrexian Germ each time an Equipment enters, and provides a +1/+1 anthem to all other Phyrexians. The deck aims to generate a wide board of Germ tokens, suit them up with a massive array of Equipment (over 26 pieces), and overwhelm opponents through combat damage. Token anthems like Cathars' Crusade and Divine Visitation turn the small Germs into lethal threats, while card-draw engines such as Sram, Senior Edificer and Puresteel Paladin keep the hand full. The primary win path is incremental combat damage, supported by value-generating Equipment like Sword of Feast and Famine and Buster Sword. There are no infinite combos; the deck relies on sustained pressure and recursion.
