Overview:

A Naya-colored Equipment/Aura voltron strategy helmed by Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, focusing on creating value through attacking with equipped/enchanted creatures while generating card advantage through Junk tokens.

Primer:

This deck operates as a sophisticated voltron strategy, leveraging powerful Equipment tutors and cost reduction effects to quickly assemble a threatening board state. The commander, Dogmeat, Ever Loyal, provides both recursion for lost Equipment/Auras and generates card advantage through Junk tokens when attacking with equipped creatures. The deck includes numerous efficient creatures that synergize with Equipment, such as Puresteel Paladin and Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist, while maintaining a strong suite of protection spells.

The deck can win through commander damage or through going wide with multiple equipped creatures. Alternative win conditions include infinite combat steps through Aggravated Assault combined with Sword of Feast and Famine, or overwhelming value generation through Equipment synergies. The inclusion of premium tutors and card advantage engines helps maintain consistency while finding key pieces.

Weaknesses:

The deck is somewhat vulnerable to artifact removal and board wipes, which can severely set back the Equipment-based strategy. While it includes protection spells, it can struggle against heavy control strategies that prevent creatures from sticking on the board. The deck also requires significant mana investment to both cast and equip its artifacts, making it potentially slow in the early game without fast mana draws.

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 6/10
• Resilience: 7/10
• Consistency: 8/10
• Interaction: 6/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits comfortably in the focused-to-optimized range, showing significant optimization through its mana base, tutor package, and Equipment selection. While it can't compete with true cEDH decks, it's notably stronger than typical casual builds due to its efficient tutors and potential for explosive turns. The deck can consistently threaten wins around turns 7-8, with the possibility of faster wins through its infinite combat combo. The inclusion of premium interaction and protection effects elevates it above purely casual builds, but it lacks the speed and disruption package of higher-powered decks.

Final power level rating: 6.0 - 6.5
