Proto 9 by nguyenis

Format: Commander

Commander: Ratonhnhaké꞉ton

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ratonhnhake ton is an Esper equipment/Assassin voltron deck. The commander is the main evasive carrier and a self-contained recursion engine: the first unblockable hit creates a 1/1 Assassin token and reanimates an Equipment. The primary kill is commander damage, with Excalibur as the cleanest one-card finisher; Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist acts as a hidden commander and free-attach enabler. Secondary paths are Assassin tribal beatdown through Achilles Davenport, Ezio, and Ramses, plus a conditional Ramses alternate win. Cheap removal and a few recursion pieces stabilize while the deck assembles one large protected attacker. It is a midrange voltron list, not a combo deck, so assembly and evasion are what determine the clock.
