THE CAT HAS A SWORD!!!!! by kitsunefox

Format: Commander

Commander: Balan, Wandering Knight

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-white Voltron deck aims to knock out opponents rapidly with lethal commander damage using Balan, Wandering Knight. Balan inherently gains double strike whenever two or more Equipment are attached, and its activated ability bypasses hefty equip costs by attaching all controlled Equipment at instant speed. The primary game plan develops early card advantage and cost reduction before deploying high-impact armaments like Colossus Hammer, Excalibur, Sword of Eden, and Kaldra Compleat. Once Balan enters, equipping multiple weapons allows one-shot eliminations against each opponent sequentially. Alternative paths to victory include an infinite power line using Crackdown Construct with Puresteel Paladin, or casting Approach of the Second Sun.
