Format: Commander

Commander: Ekthi, Contaminator Priest

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a Mono-White Equipment/Phyrexian tribal build headed by Ekthi, Contaminator Priest, who grants living weapon to every Equipment you play - turning each weapon into a token-and-equip package. The primary plan is to deploy the commander early, flood the board with living-weapon Germ tokens that get +1/+1 from Ekthi and anthems like Intangible Virtue, then suit up a key attacker (often the commander or a Germ) with powerful Equipment to end the game via double-strike, extra combat steps, or overwhelming board presence. Win conditions include commander damage from a massively equipped Ekthi - aided by Genji Glove, Colossus Hammer, or Kaldra Compleat - and wide token attacks backed by Akroma's Will or the back side of Elesh Norn // The Argent Etchings. The deck is a midrange voltron/aggro strategy that grinds value through draw engines like Sram, Senior Edificer and Puresteel Paladin, with recursion from Vulpine Harvester and Codsworth, Handy Helper to recover after wipes.
