This is a deck I made for someone on Fiverr. If you have an idea for a deck that you want built, you can find me on Fiverr as genoslugcs.

The Deck

Alright, my friend. Let's get into the deck. As requested, we have a Voltron-theme built around suiting up our creatures with equipment and aura, giving them double strike, and generally making them formidable attackers.

Let's take a look at some of the different sections of the deck, starting with the things we'll be putting onto the creatures.

Equipment and Auras

We have around 15 equipment and auras that make out creatures more powerful in combat. This includes pumps to their power and toughness, and keyword abilities. The "sword of" cards are some of the most powerful and we play as many as we can afford. This includes Sword of Light and Shadow, Sword of Once and Future, and Sword of Forge and Frontier.

Other cards like Whispersilk Cloak, Thran Power Suit, and Swiftfoot Boots work really well on both offense and defense, which is important. Aside from pumping up our attackers, a few cards, like Quietus Spike and Vorpal Sword, can come close to winning games all alone.

Support And Payoff Cards

Since we're playing so many Equipment and Auras, we also have a lot of things that reward us for doing so. Some of the most important cards in this category are Sram, Senior Edificer and Puresteel Paladin, which are powerful draw engines. Puresteel also allows us to cheat equipment onto our creatures, which is something we have on several other cards as well.

For example:

• Armored Skyhunter
• Danitha Capashen, Paragon
• Danitha, Benalia's Hope
• Halvar, God of Battle
• Stonehewer Giant
• Forge Anew
• Hammer of Nazahn
• Mantle of the Ancients
• Sigarda's Aid

Additionally, we play Steelshaper's Gift and Open the Armory to search out our most powerful pieces when needed.

Attackers And Payoffs

A fair portion of our attacking force has flying, fear, or simply can't be blocked. And, of course, Kamiz, Obscura Oculus helps here, too. This means that the creatures we're suiting up should be able to connect with the opponent. In addition to this, we have several ways to give creatures double strike. Again, Kamiz, Obscura Oculus. But also Halvar, God of Battle, and Duelist's Heritage.

As pictured, we also have a ton of card advantage and other benefits tied to turning sideways or dealing damage. In addition to Reconnaissance Mission, Dowsing Dagger // Lost Vale, and Bident of Thassa we also have:

• Thief of Sanity
• Shadowmage Infiltrator
• Malcolm, Alluring Scoundrel
• Gríma, Saruman's Footman
• Fallen Shinobi
• Daxos of Meletis
• Cephalid Constable
• Armored Skyhunter

The Small Reanimation Package

As you mentioned, we'll be discarding quite a lot to our commander's ability. So, I included a small package of cards that can help get things back after they've been ditched. Dread Return can be used as a reanimation spell and a way to buy back creatures that have just been removed.

Silas Renn, Seeker Adept and Sun Titan work well to get back your lower-cost equipment spells, which can be very back-breaking for opponents. And finally, we have Archpriest of Shadows, the Sword of Light and Shadow trigger, and Priest of Fell Rights to round out this little suite of cards.

Protection and Removal

We have around 13 removal spells (including a few board wipes) in the deck. Here is a quick rundown of the interaction and removal:

• Aerial Extortionist
• Cephalid Constable
• Anguished Unmaking
• Austere Command
• Counterspell
• Damn
• Despark
• Dispatch
• Swords to Plowshares
• Dovin's Veto
• Path to Exile
• Void Rend

 I selected these particular spells to give us a variety of powerful answers to a wide array of problems. We can remove creatures and other permanents consistently and for cheap. Plus, between Counterspell, Void Rend, and Dovin's Veto, you have a couple of "get out of trouble" cards for opposing board wipes and things.

Speaking of opposing removal, the last thing I want to mention is protecting our commander and the other creatures we have loaded up with stuff. Counterspell, Void Rend, and Dovin's Veto all work for this category as well; just be sure to use them wisely.

Beyond the counters, we have Whispersilk Cloak, Swiftfoot Boots, and Tran Power Suit, which give shroud, hexproof, or ward. Then we have Sword of Light and Shadow, Sword of Once and Future, and Sword of Forge and Frontier, which between then give us access to protection from all five colors. Remember, we can tutor for these!

Beyond those, we have Kaya's Ghostform and Grim Return, which can essentially negate a would-be removal spell. And if all else fails, we do have the other reanimation cards that can get stuff back.
