The Coat of Harms [Equipment Primer]
4 months ago
Amarthaler, I hope it does give you ideas! The whole point of sharing the list was to put info and ideas out there, because I was frustrated by most Gwyn lists being either underwhelming typal decks or full Voltron when I wanted one for comparison. (Though I did find a couple standouts that I still have some notes on.) If you specifically wanted ideas for a Boros list, I could see a lot of the cards or the distribution of categories transferring well to something like Bruenor Battlehammer.
It plays smoothly, which was precisely the goal I tuned it toward! I played two games with it this past weekend, and in my second game, a player on a strong treasures deck gained lots of momentum and even removed my Gwyn the moment it came down (affording me only 1 free equip). I still contributed enough to the game with a Bloodsworn Steward, Two-Handed Axe, and Plate Armor to attack him for 14 and threaten lethal the turn after, which caused him to burn a second piece of removal stopping me. Even on a rough game, I was able to do my thing.
As for how its balanced... Well, there's a strange dynamic I tried to describe in the Primer that you can see in that story. It's an aggro deck that significantly ramps up in damage, so it puts a lot of pressure on opponents, especially when I'm sitting down with people for the first time and they aren't ready for it (despite any warnings or advice from me). I have multiple stories now of going to a couple game stores in town (one a little competitive and one pretty casual) and bullying a pod with an unanswered Umezawa's Jitte, yet I can also go home and get crushed by my friend playing the Forces of Mordor precon. It's a well-tuned deck, but I don't want to hype anyone into thinking it's high power, and yet I don't want to downplay how much it has scared some tables. Does that illustrate what you wanted to know?

wideline1414 well I do need to update the description again, but that's not what I'm going for, this is deck is focused on equipping Fervent Champion, and Novice Knight with Colossus Hammer to swing for some big damage. Auriok Steelshaper is a back up option, when the Colossus Hammer fails, I can equip Auriok Steelshaper with something like Sunforger, or Plate Armor(which is why I haven't removed it from the deck yet) so he can buff Puresteel Paladin, and Esper Sentinel allowing me to hopefully finish off my opponent.
So I'm just trying to work with better back up options just in case Colossus Hammer fails. I also might add Memnite because it is a 0 cost creature making it a lot easier and faster to use Colossus Hammer. But who knows, I will definitely look into more and different equipment though!

wideline1414 Yeah I have been thinking of removing Plate Armor and then adding one to Puresteel Paladin, and one other to something else, currently I'm still testing it, playing it against others. So I will mess with it a bit more. But thanks for the upvote and comment!

TeyoSelflessProtector Thank you for the interest in my deck! I am aware of these issues. I'm currently in the middle of a rehaul for this deck and will replace these, most likely for Plate Armor and Umezawa's Jitte.
