Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashenvale. She is the savior of the realm and also a great source of mana and card advantage. She leads a ragtag group of knights and assorted company as they suit up and smash face. This is a 75% commander deck designed to work with or without the commander in play. Syr Gwyn is a curve topper who provides card advantage and free equips, but is not necessary for the basic plan - equip a guy with double strike and go to town.

Sources of double strike: this is the main power of the deck. Giving a creature with double strike an equipment can end the game in a hurry. Silverblade Paladin, Mirran Crusader, Balan, Wandering Knight, Crypt Champion, switfblade vindicator, Heavenly Blademaster, Prophetic Flamespeaker.

Equipments: these are the things that we put on the guys with double strike. Sunforger, Umezawa's Jitte, Batterskull, Skullclamp, Sword of Feast and Famine, Sword of Light and Shadow, and of course the amazing Colossus Hammer. There are multiple ways of searching up specific equipment as well including Stoneforge Mystic, Steelshaper's Gift, Open the Armory, Demonic Tutor, stonehewere giant, and Relic Seeker.

Card advantage: these cards are how we make sure we don't run out of gas in this aggro deck. Midnight Reaper, Acclaimed Contender, Karmic Guide, Reveillark, Sun Titan, Prophetic Flamespeaker, syr gwyn, hero of ashenvale, Demonic Tutor, Skullclamp, a few lands.

Mana sources: these are aggro-oriented mana sources that will help us ramp up without slowing down. Verge Rangers, Oreskos Explorer, Cartographer's Hawk, Knight of the White Orchid, Tithe, various mana rocks (all two mana cost or less).

Sunforger package: I tried to keep this as tight as possible to save deck space. There are 3 creature removal, 3 artifact removal, 1 enchantment removal, 1 ramp, 1 raise dead, 1 counterspell, 1 fog, 1 double strike source, 1 save the team spell, 1 wrath, 1 tutor, and 1 enormous team ovverrun in these options. Mistveil Plains can be fetched by Tithe or multiple other land grabbers and it can recycle targets for Sunforger.

Other cool stuff: Ruinous Ultimatum is expensive but a reasonable curve topper. Selfless Spirit and Boros Charm can save the team, Pentarch Paladin can blow stuff up, Odric, Lunarch Marshal will give everyone double strike, and there are 3 ways to double overall damage including Combat Celebrant, Aurelia, the Warleader, and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight.
