Living Weapon Core by AngelofKhonshu

Format: Commander

Commander: Ekthi, Contaminator Priest

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Mono-White Equipment deck helmed by Ekthi, Contaminator Priest, whose living weapon ability turns every Equipment ETB into a 0/0 Phyrexian Germ token. The deck pairs this token engine with multipliers - Anointed Procession, Exalted Sunborn, Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation, and Divine Visitation - to flood the board while suiting up a single massive beater. Primary wins come from combat: a heavily equipped Colossus Hammer, Aettir and Priwen, or Wrecking Ball Arm carrier swinging with double strike and extra combats from Genji Glove, backed by a Germ/Mite swarm that chips in poison via toxic. Approach of the Second Sun offers an alternate win. A dense tutor suite (Enlightened Tutor, Steelshaper's Gift, Oswald Fiddlebender) and draw engines (Sram, Senior Edificer, Puresteel Paladin) keep the plan consistent, while Teferi's Protection and Flare of Fortitude protect the winning turn.
