Mono-white equipment deck that tutors gear and doubles every trigger from Cloud and his weapons for fast commander damage.

When Cloud enters, you search your library for an Equipment and put it into your hand. While Cloud is equipped, any triggered ability of Cloud or of an Equipment attached to him triggers an additional time. That makes sword triggers, combat damage draws and attack effects happen twice. The deck runs a dense equipment package with tutors and cheap equip costs so Cloud can carry several pieces and win through commander damage.
In the recorded games, Buster Sword was a common first fetch. With doubled triggers it drew cards and cast free spells after combat damage. Sword of the Animist ramped two basic lands per attack, Masterwork of Ingenuity copied the best piece, and Duelist's Heritage added double strike. Skullclamp and Pre-War Formalwear helped refill and recover. Tables often ganged up on Cloud early. Opposition Agent hurt its tutors, and Parallax Wave and exile removal reset its gear. Go-wide token decks also outran its single big threat.
