Deck overview

This deck is an explosive Naya Equipment Voltron and combat-focused deck led by Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER. The game plan revolves around using efficient green ramp and white equipment tutors to place powerful equipment like Colossus Hammer, Buster Sword, and the Sword cycle onto the battlefield during the opening turns. When Cloud enters the battlefield, his ability attaches an Equipment immediately for zero mana. With native haste, Cloud attacks right away, drawing cards and creating Treasure tokens whenever his power is 7 or higher. The deck rapidly converts this pressure into player eliminations using damage doublers, extra combat steps from Karlach, Fury of Avernus and Tifa, Martial Artist, or an infinite combat loop with Aggravated Assault and Sword of Feast and Famine. An elite protection suite featuring Grand Abolisher, Deflecting Swat, and Teferi's Protection shields Cloud during combat, while equipment recursion ensures recovery against removal.
