Overview:

A Slicer, Hired Muscle equipment-focused voltron deck that aims to deal lethal commander damage through efficient equipment tutoring and attachment strategies, with potential for explosive turns through ritual effects.

Primer:

This deck centers around equipping and protecting Slicer, Hired Muscle with powerful equipment pieces to deal commander damage. The strategy involves fast mana acceleration through rituals and artifacts to deploy Slicer early, then protecting and enhancing it with equipment. Key pieces like Hammer of Nazahn and Godo, Bandit Warlord provide equipment tutoring and auto-equip effects.

The deck includes several ways to protect its commander and ensure damage connects, including Whispersilk Cloak and Swiftfoot Boots. The backup plan involves using Jeska, Thrice Reborn to triple damage output or creating equipment-based value engines with cards like Professional Face-Breaker and Mask of Memory.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on its commander and vulnerable to repeated removal. The mana base shows some concerning issues that could impact consistency. The artifact-heavy strategy makes it particularly vulnerable to mass artifact removal. The deck could benefit from more card draw effects to maintain momentum after the initial equipment setup.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

• Hammer of Nazahn
• Godo, Bandit Warlord
• Jeska's Will
• Sol Ring
• Umezawa's Jitte
• Commander's Plate
• Jeska, Thrice Reborn
• Whispersilk Cloak
• Professional Face-Breaker
• Blasphemous Act

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 5/10
• Resilience: 4/10
• Consistency: 5/10
• Interaction: 4/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual level, capable of presenting a threat around turns 8-9 through commander damage. While it includes some powerful equipment and tutors, its reliance on the commander and vulnerability to removal keeps it from reaching higher power levels. The deck would struggle against optimized decks (6.0+) due to their faster win conditions and more interaction, but could compete well with other casual decks in the 4.5-5.5 range. The inclusion of some strong ritual effects and equipment tutors puts it above typical precon level decks.

Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
