This Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale deck is aimed for around a 7.5/10 in terms of power. Its fairly aggressive, using spot removal, knight synergies, and quality creatures to remove threats and make blocks unfavorable for opponents. This deck has the capabilities to go wide with cards such as Sigiled Sword of Valoren; Silverwing Squadron; Aryel, Knight of Windgrace; and Josu Vess, Lich Knight. There are also some Anthems available and a plethora of mass Doublestrike, Lifelink, and Indestructable to form a robust wall that should ward off most attacks once it gets going.

Syr Gwyn naturally supports Voltron or equipment-heavy decks. Rather than just slapping a bunch of high power equipment onto Syr Gwyn for quick commander damage-based victories, I went with good general application equipment to form a powerful toolbox. This will allow you to ramp and remove threats as well as protect and recur your creatures. That being said, Voltron is still a possibility; but you will probably need some assistance from other parts of the deck.

I have included a small Sunforger package with this deck. While part of it includes spot removal, more importantly a selection of board protection cards are able to be tutored to protect your board state. This deck is aggressive and creature based, so maintaining a powerful board presence is key to winning games.

While Mardu has strong sweepers such as Kaya's Wrath, Wrath of God, and Merciless Eviction; they also ruin your own board. As such, I chose to run select sweepers that will minimally effect my board while also running a strong selection of target removal options. Some of these removal options can be tutored through Sunforger which can itself be tutored. The deck also features a large selection of doublestrike and indestructible which should usually make blocks favorable.
