Commander: Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Naya Equipment Voltron deck helmed by Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER, built to ramp into the 5-mana commander, suit him up, and convert his haste into immediate attack-phase value. The core loop is simple: attack with Cloud to draw a card per equipped attacker, then at power 7+ start generating two Treasures per swing, which fund the next wave of Equipment. The deck packs an unusually deep Equipment suite (roughly twenty pieces) and a compact tutor package to find the right one for the moment. The 99 even contains a second Cloud - Cloud, Midgar Mercenary - whose trigger-doubling ability supercharges the commander's attack triggers. Primary win is commander damage via big swords like Buster Sword and Kaldra Compleat, accelerated by double strike from Akroma's Will and Halvar, God of Battle. Secondary lines are pure combat damage from a wide equipped board and incidental value from Helm of the Host copies.
