Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a focused Equipment Voltron deck with a secondary Assassin tribal subtheme, helmed by Ratonhnhake:ton. The commander is a naturally evasive 3/3 that is hexproof and unblockable until it deals combat damage, making the first hit extremely reliable. On connecting, it creates a 1/1 black Assassin token with menace and returns an Equipment from the graveyard to the battlefield attached to that token - a built-in recursion engine that turns every attack into value. The 99 is packed with powerful Equipment like Colossus Hammer, Kaldra Compleat, and the Swords of X and Y, along with a robust tutor suite (Stonehewer Giant, Fabricate, Entomb) to find them. Card draw comes from Sram, Senior Edificer, Puresteel Paladin, and Mask of Memory. The primary win condition is commander damage via a one- or two-shot kill, while Ramses, Assassin Lord offers an alternate win condition through Assassin tribal beatdown. The deck is built to establish a fast, hard-to-disrupt clock that rebuilds quickly after wipes.
