Gwyndala, the Progeny
Create and multiply Equipment tokens through flicker effects and combat triggers, then activate Gwyndala to turn all Equipment tokens into copies of devastating weapons like Colossus Hammer or Kaldra Compleat.

Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.
Mana curve · 62 nonland cards
The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
