Deck overview

This mono-white deck is commanded by Ekthi, Contaminator Priest, transforming every Equipment into an instant living weapon army. By granting living weapon to all Equipment, Ekthi bypasses traditional equip mana costs: whenever an Equipment enters, it spawns a Phyrexian Germ token that gets pumped by Ekthi's anthem and immediately attaches. This lets massive Equipment like Colossus Hammer, Excalibur, Sword of Eden, and Kaldra Compleat drop as immediate, high-powered combat threats. The deck supports this aggressive engine with dense equipment tutors, cost reducers, and high-velocity draw engines like Puresteel Paladin and Sram, Senior Edificer. Token doublers such as Mondrak, Glory Dominus and double-strike enablers like Akroma's Will accelerate lethal combat damage across opponents. Resilient defensive options like Clever Concealment and Flawless Maneuver shield the board against sweepers, while alternate re-attach engines guarantee strong recovery if the commander is removed.
