Overview:
This Boros Equipment Voltron deck leverages Wyleth, Soul of Steel as a card-draw engine while stacking Auras/Equipment for lethal commander damage. Though moderately consistent with equipment tutors and protection, it lacks cEDH speed/resilience and folds to repeated commander removal. The gameplan involves incremental combat pressure rather than explosive combos.
Primer:
Core Strategy:
Deploy Wyleth by T3-4 using basic ramp (Boros Signet, Kor Cartographer), then chain equipment attachments to enable card draw and lethal swings. Key equipment like Fireshrieker (double strike) and Blackblade Reforged (land scaling) enable 2-3 hit kills. Backup plans include token swarms (Martial Coup, White Sun's Zenith) and burn finishers (Jaya's Immolating Inferno).
Mulligan Priorities:
- 3 lands with at least 1 red/white source
- 1 equipment tutor (Relic Seeker, Sunforger)
- Early protection (Swiftfoot Boots, Sigarda's Aid)
Reject hands without early equipment or commander protection.
Key Tips:
- Use Sunforger to fetch Boros Charm (indestructible) or Deflecting Palm against threats
- Slayers' Stronghold gives surprise haste/vigilance before declaring attackers
- Odric, Lunarch Marshal spreads keywords after Wyleth is equipped
Avoid Traps:
- Overextending equipment without protection
- Casting Wyleth before having 1-2 mana open for boots/aura
- Slow equipment like Blazing Sunsteel vs aggressive metas
Weaknesses:
Critical:
- Commander-dependent strategy (no card draw without Wyleth)
- Minimal graveyard recursion (only Ironclad Slayer for artifacts)
Moderate:
- Weak to sacrifice effects (only Unbreakable Formation protection)
- Limited stack interaction (6 instant-speed answers)
Minor:
- Slow mana base (8 enters-tapped lands)
- No artifact/enchantment wipe recovery
Most Important Cards:
- Sunforger
- Sram, Senior Edificer
- Sigarda's Aid
- Fireshrieker
- Blackblade Reforged
- Boros Charm
- Swiftfoot Boots
- Relic Seeker
- Loxodon Warhammer
- Odric, Lunarch Marshal
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 5/10
Theoretical T6 goldfish kill (T3 Wyleth + T4-5 equipment). Limited fast mana and no combat phase duplication until late game.
Resilience: 4/10
Dies to 2+ removal spells on Wyleth. Some protection (6 sources) but no free counters. Slow equipment reattachment.
Consistency: 6/10
10 equipment tutors/recursion and Wyleth's draw mitigate variance, but reliance on commander limits redundancy.
Interaction: 5/10
12 targeted answers (Swords to Plowshares, Return to Dust) and 3 board wipes. Lacks free interaction and stax pieces.
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at the "Optimized Casual" tier (5.0-5.5):
- Matches T8-10 benchmark with combat damage
- Outperforms precons through equipment synergies
- Lacks the tutor density (5 vs 10+ in 6.0 decks) and protection (no Deflecting Swat) of high-power builds
- Slower than T7-8 "Focused" decks due to incremental Voltron strategy
Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
