<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Quintorius, History Chaser" href="#" target="_blank">Quintorius, History Chaser</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Quintorius, History Chaser"></div></div>
<p>With <em>Lorehold Spirit, </em>we get the only commander in the set that's also a planeswalker in Quintorius, History Chaser. The elephant man's still all about unearthing antiquities of yore, with a static ability that provides a 3/2 red and white Spirit token whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard.</p>
<p>With such an open-ended condition, there's a lot of room for creativity when it comes to exactly how you'll get a card or cards out of the 'yard. But as you'll see, <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>tends to focus on just one such way: reanimation. We'll get to that in a bit.</p>
<p>Quintorius comes into play with five loyalty counters, which is a pretty good rate for a four-mana planeswalker, especially one who sees both abilities priced reasonably enough to fire off either right away.</p>
<p>For +1, Quint puts two cards into the graveyard for you to later retrieve, via discard and mill. You also get to replace that one discard with two cards drawn.</p>
<p>And if you've already got an army of Spirits at your beck and call, Quint supercharges them for -4, providing double strike and vigilance to your spectral squad.</p>
<p>Being able to use either ability the turn Quint hits the battlefield is excellent, as there's no effort needed to build up to an ultimate ability. But really, a deck led by Quintorius, History Chaser is one that's focused most on the static ability.</p>


<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Excava, the Risen Past" href="#" target="_blank">Excava, the Risen Past</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Excava, the Risen Past"></div></div>
<p>Joining Quintorius is Excava, the Risen Past, a four-mana 3/3 Spirit Horse with flying and haste. Yes, it has flying, despite not having wings. Expect that detail to be forgotten frequently.</p>
<p>Excava's similar to Quintorius, but in a way mirrored to be complementary. Where Quint wants to see cards leave the graveyard to make Spirit tokens, Excava does the excavations - hence the name - by returning an artifact, creature, or non-Aura enchantment with a mana value three or less to the battlefield every time it attacks.</p>
<p>The exhumed card, regardless of its type, becomes a 1/1 Spirit creature with flying, and gets a finality counter. That finality counter is a detail that some may see as a hindrance to Excava's power level, as you won't be able to forever loop resurrectable spells from the graveyard, but that's probably a good thing.</p>
<p>Regardless, Excava's a good addition to <em>Lorehold Spirit, </em>but like most alternate commanders, a deck built specifically for it will see it do wonders.</p>


<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Augusta, Order Returned" href="#" target="_blank">Augusta, Order Returned</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Augusta, Order Returned"></div></div>
<p>The first new card in <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>is another legendary creature: Augusta, Order Returned. For three mana you're getting a 1/3 Spirit Advisor with flying and vigilance that vacuums up one card from each player's graveyard per attack. Each player chooses their own target for Augusta to eat.</p>
<p>For each of those cards that are nonlands, you'll bestow a +1/+1 counter on target attacking creature. So, for an average game of Commander, Augusta will boost an attacking creature (including Augusta itself, possibly) with up to four +1/+1 counters possible. Likely, it'll be less than that, should an opponent choose a land to exile, or they simply don't have any cards in their 'yard to pitch.</p>
<p>It's still a fine rate, albeit a bit underwhelming if Augusta doesn't get rolling until the late game. However, as an enabler for Quintorius, that's a guaranteed Spirit token every turn.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lorehold Archivist" href="#" target="_blank">Lorehold Archivist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Lorehold Archivist"></div></div>
<p>Our first prepared creature of the <i>Lorehold Spirit </i>deck is Lorehold Archivist, who has a spell called Restore Relic in its pocket. Restore Relic, for four mana, exiles target artifact or creature from your graveyard, then makes a token copy of it.</p>
<p>To become prepared, Lorehold Archivist needs to see on your upkeep at least three artifacts or creatures in your graveyard to restore.</p>
<p>Having a way to reliably get a second copy of any artifact or creature in your deck is very powerful, and even though you're only going to restore that relic once, once should be enough when you're doing it every turn. Any self-respecting self-mill deck will satisfy the conditions of the Archivist's prep easily.</p>
<p>And <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>might just be a self-respecting self-mill deck.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Naktamun Lorespinner" href="#" target="_blank">Naktamun Lorespinner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Naktamun Lorespinner"></div></div>
<p>From one creature with prepare to another, but this one, Naktamun Lorespinner, brings with it a much more famous spell in <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wheel of Fortune" href="#" target="_blank">Wheel of Fortune</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>Wheel's got its supporters and its detractors in Commander, but the one thing everyone can agree on is that it's insanely powerful, so stapling that onto a 3/3 Jackal Wizard should get your attention. It must be really hard to prepare Naktamun Lorespinner, then, right? If it can just cast Wheel?</p>
<p>Well, no. Not at all difficult, really. The only thing that needs to happen is that at the beginning of your upkeep, a player has to have one or fewer cards in hand. That's it.</p>
<p>This'll be a good way to fill the graveyard for Quint-related shenanigans, but look for Naktamun Lorespinner to revive people's hatred of playing against <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nekusar, the Mindrazer" href="#" target="_blank">Nekusar, the Mindrazer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> decks.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Relic Retriever" href="#" target="_blank">Relic Retriever</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Relic Retriever"></div></div>
<p>A 2/1 first strike for two mana, Relic Retriever is a Spirit Monkey that doesn't need a wall of text to make an impact on the game.</p>
<p>At the beginning of each end step, if a card left your graveyard - something that you're doing regularly anyway, if you're playing <em>Lorehold Spirit</em> - then you create a Treasure token. That might be four Treasure tokens per turn cycle, should your 'yard be adequately stocked.</p>
<p>Relic Retriever won't be an auto-include in every red deck like a certain other <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dockside Extortionist" href="#" target="_blank">Treasure-making two-drop</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> used to be, but for decks that can reliably trigger its condition, it's going to be a fine substitute.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Spirit of Resilience" href="#" target="_blank">Spirit of Resilience</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Spirit of Resilience"></div></div>
<p>Fittingly, Spirit of Resilience is a Spirit Warrior, specifically a 2/2 for three mana.</p>
<p>Like Quintorius, Spirit of Resilience also loves seeing cards leave your graveyard, but instead of making a Spirit token, you're making, well, anything. Kinda.</p>
<p>When Spirit of Resilience sees a card or cards leave your 'yard, it gets a +1/+1 counter on it then becomes a copy of an artifact or creature that just left the graveyard. It's limiting in its ability to morph into something else, but unlike Lorehold Archivist, there's the possibility of using the same card repeatedly. Spirit of Resilience doesn't care <em>how </em>a card is leaving the graveyard, after all.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vanguard of the Restless" href="#" target="_blank">Vanguard of the Restless</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Vanguard of the Restless"></div></div>
<p>Another 2/2 for three mana, Vanguard of the Restless is a Spirit Knight with flying that fits right in among a deck centered around the Spirit creature type.</p>
<p>Vanguard serves as an <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Glorious Anthem" href="#" target="_blank">Anthem</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for Spirits, getting one better every time you cast your commander, which is obviously more powerful in a deck that might see you cast your commander three or more times - likely not this one, when Quint will likely only be cast a few times, starting at four mana.</p>
<p>That said, it's got a built-in way to trigger Quint and every other card in <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>that cares about cards leaving the graveyard, which will come in handy.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Advanced Reconstruction" href="#" target="_blank">Advanced Reconstruction</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Advanced Reconstruction"></div></div>
<p><i>Lorehold Spirit's </i>class is Advanced Reconstruction, a four-mana enchantment that starts off by providing a small but very powerful bit of card advantage, allowing you at the beginning of your first main phase to first mill a card, then exile a card at random from the graveyard, which can then be played.</p>
<p>That by itself is already good enough for consideration, but when Advanced Reconstruction ramps up to levels two and three, it really gets going. Level 2 adds on an addendum that deals two damage to each opponent whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard, and Level 3 goes even further, giving any spell cast from anywhere other than your hand a generic two-mana discount.</p>
<p>You know what costs two mana and is casting a spell from a place that's not your hand? Airbending.</p>

<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ceaseless Conflict" href="#" target="_blank">Ceaseless Conflict</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ceaseless Conflict"></div></div>
<p>A new board wipe is always welcome, even one that costs five mana.</p>
<p>Ceaseless Conflict wipes the board and wipes it good, flatly destroying all creatures without conditions. But you're paying that extra one mana over <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Day of Judgment" href="#" target="_blank">Day of Judgment</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> because for each nontoken creature of yours destroyed, you get refunded a 3/2 Spirit token.</p>
<p>Board wipes are played because they allow slower decks to restore parity to a game. Board wipes that give you a bunch of creatures after they resolve do not restore parity; they tilt everything in your favor.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fateful Tempest" href="#" target="_blank">Fateful Tempest</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fateful Tempest"></div></div>
<p>We get the first new <em>council's dilemma </em>card in three years<em> </em>in Fateful Tempest, a three-mana sorcery.</p>
<p>This time, we're breaking out the ballots to vote "past" or "present." For each "past" vote, you mill a card, then Fateful Tempest nukes each opponent equal to the mana value of all the cards milled. For a "present" vote, you instead exile the top card of your library, and those cards are able to be played until the end of your next turn.</p>
<p>Both voting outcomes benefit you, but like all cards that provide a choice to opponents, whichever option benefits you the least in that moment is the one everyone's going to pick.</p>
<h3><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Turbulent Steppe" href="#" target="_blank">Turbulent Steppe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h3>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Turbulent Steppe"></div></div>
<p>Like all <em>Secrets of Strixhaven </em>Commander decks, <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>gets a Turbulent land in its colors, with Steppe being the red/white entry.</p>
<p>Debates on if the art depicts a land made entirely of cinnamon rolls aside, Turbulent lands are going to be very good in Commander and are worth stocking up on.</p>


<p>The key to <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>is to, well, make Spirits. It's a Spirit typal deck with extra steps, but it's those extra steps that make the deck interesting.</p>
<p>First, if we look at which creatures in the deck are already Spirits on their own, we'll see that there are a lot of them. To be exact, 19. And that's not counting the cards that <em>make </em>Spirits, like our elephant friend Quintorius, History Chaser.</p>

<p>So that's 19 Spirits, plus six more cards that can create Spirit tokens. That's a pretty solid foundation for a deck built around a specific creature type, as this one is. And among those 25 cards, there are also a number of cards that support a type-specific build, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Vanguard of the Restless" href="#" target="_blank">Vanguard of the Restless</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> or <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Patchwork Banner" href="#" target="_blank">Patchwork Banner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>What sets <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>apart from your run-of-the-mill Spirit typal deck, however, is its devotion to the strategy encouraged by Quintorius, namely the whole "take stuff out of the graveyard" schtick. That comes in several forms in the deck, with the most powerful being straight-up <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/reanimator/boros" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reanimator</a>-esque.</p>

<p>That's a whopping nine cards dedicated to reanimation (10 if you count <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Emeria, the Sky Ruin" href="#" target="_blank">Emeria, the Sky Ruin</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>), but you'll notice most of those cards carry conditions on them, namely that the reanimation targets will need to be permanents - and cheap ones, at that. Hence why <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>only has a total of 12 nonpermanent spells, and only 11 permanent spells (out of 50) that cost five or more mana.</p>
<p>The hope is that every time one of those cards is used to pull something out of the graveyard, you'll get a number of favorable triggers, like Quintorius's, to make the good proposition of returning a permanent even better.</p>
<p>While this deck has not one, not two, but <em>three </em>Quints, they all largely do the same thing. But there are a few other cards that care about cards exiting the 'yard that <em>aren't </em>anthropomorphic elephants:</p>

<p>As we see from our friends at <a href="https://commanderspellbook.com/find-my-combos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Commander Spellbook</a>, there are no inherent combos contained within <em>Lorehold Spirit.</em></p>
<p>We already highlighted one potential combo above, however, with Advanced Reconstruction, and there are plenty of cards in the deck that are known to be part of some nasty combos.</p>
<p>Since we have a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sun Titan" href="#" target="_blank">Sun Titan</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> already, it's not that much further of a stretch to add a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fiend Hunter" href="#" target="_blank">Fiend Hunter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ashnod&#039;s Altar" href="#" target="_blank">Ashnod&#039;s Altar</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> to get infinite colorless mana, death triggers, and more:</p>

<p>And speaking of Ashnod's Altar, it turns out that that card can be problematic when it comes to combos. Just pair it with the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Karmic Guide" href="#" target="_blank">Karmic Guide</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> already in the deck, along with its good buddy <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Reveillark" href="#" target="_blank">Reveillark</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, to once again go infinite:</p>

<p>It's a classic combo, and appears in <a href="https://edhrec.com/combos/mono-white/67-2034-4681" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 10,000 decks on EDHREC</a>, so you know it's good.</p>


<p><em>Lorehold Spirit </em>is pretty land-heavy, with 37 of them among the 99 of the deck. It makes sense, since with all the self-mill and graveyard manipulation, we want to avoid the feel-bad scenario of milling the one land we needed.</p>
<p>Most of those 37 lands are here to produce mana, be it one or two colors, but still, there are a few that see inclusions for the little spice they provide:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Emeria, the Sky Ruin" href="#" target="_blank">Emeria, the Sky Ruin</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></li>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mistveil Plains" href="#" target="_blank">Mistveil Plains</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></li>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fields of Strife" href="#" target="_blank">Fields of Strife</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Emeria, the Sky Ruin"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mistveil Plains"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fields of Strife"></div></div>
<p>Emeria, the Sky Ruin is pretty self-explanatory in a deck like this one, though amassing seven Plains to get it to trigger might be a challenge unless the game goes on for a long time.</p>
<p>Mistveil Plains, though, is a sneaky good inclusion, as the innocuous ability of putting a card in the graveyard onto the bottom of your library is a lot scarier in this deck than it normally would be. And, it's a Plains, for Emeria!</p>
<p>Similar to Mistveil Plains, Fields of Strife is a land that would usually be considered perfectly, maybe even aggressively, average. But in <em>Lorehold Spirit? </em>Surveil becomes much more useful to fill up the graveyard.</p>
<p>As for mana rocks, the standard trio of Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and Fellwar Stone are here of course, but there are a few much more interesting picks, too:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Archaeomancer&#039;s Map" href="#" target="_blank">Archaeomancer&#039;s Map</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></li>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bitterthorn, Nissa&#039;s Animus" href="#" target="_blank">Bitterthorn, Nissa&#039;s Animus</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></li>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Patchwork Banner" href="#" target="_blank">Patchwork Banner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></li>
<li><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Millikin" href="#" target="_blank">Millikin</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Archaeomancer&#039;s Map"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bitterthorn, Nissa&#039;s Animus"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Patchwork Banner"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Millikin"></div></div>
<p>All four of those cards fit in very well here, even Bitterthorn which at first seems wildly out-of-place. But if we thought it might be tough to hit seven lands for Emeria, Bitterthorn's a way to make it easier.</p>


<p>Like all of the <em>Secrets of Strixhaven </em>Commander decks, <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>retails for $49.99.</p>
<p>At the moment, the deck together, if you were to buy every card individually, would run you around $300, but much of that number is misleading due to the preorder prices for the 12 new cards being inflated.</p>
<p>If we throw those cards out, the remaining deck would be $153. That's still a pretty solid number, and it's helped out by a few very, <em>very </em>good reprints.</p>
<p>Of those reprints, the top five in terms of value are:</p>
<ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>


<p>The best preconstructed decks are the ones that take a known-to-be-fun strategy, add an interesting twist to it, and craft a synergistic core around it while sprinkling in a number of sought-after reprints.</p>
<p>That's a lot of boxes to check, but <em>Lorehold Spirit </em>checks them all. For that, the deck gets an A-.</p>

Lorehold Spirit - Secrets of Strixhaven Precon Guide

<h6 style="text-align: right;"><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Giott, King of the Dwarves" href="#" target="_blank">Giott, King of the Dwarves</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://www.artstation.com/johnthacker">John Thacker</a></h6>
<p>One of the more intriguing elements of Role-Playing Games such as <em>Final Fantasy</em> is the weapons, which offer endless amounts of customization of characters.</p>
<p>Some, such as the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Buster Sword" href="#" target="_blank">Buster Sword</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, are iconic and representative of not just the Zanbatou (horse-cleaver blades) of Edo Japan but also the characters who wield them.</p>
<p>Each set seems to bring new ways for creatures to do battle based on the setting of the plane, from the fantastic to the mundane.</p>
<p>Someone has to make these items, and the creature type most commonly associated with making and wielding is Dwarves, where Giott reigns King.</p>
<p>Dwarves go way back to the early days of <em>Magic</em>, with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Magda, Brazen Outlaw" href="#" target="_blank">Magda, Brazen Outlaw</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> uniting the type and bringing it not only into the public but all the way into cEDH!</p>
<p>While Magda is a decent Dwarf lord, she's more notable for using them to make Treasures and then using those Treasures to tutor for artifacts and Dragons. She can use Dwarves to create some powerful lines, but she’s not a “true” Dwarf commander. Giott, however, has earned the title of King of the Dwarves for a reason. And yes, “King of the Dwarves” includes Magda.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Giott, King of the Dwarves"></div></div>
<h2>What Does <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Giott, King of the Dwarves" href="#" target="_blank">Giott, King of the Dwarves</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Do?</h2>
<p>Giott is a 1/1 with double strike for Boros mana. He comes out quickly and can either lead from the front or sit back and accrue card advantage passively by looting when he, another Dwarf, or an Equipment enter, notably not limited to once a turn despite being an uncommon.</p>
<p>The ability to perform attacking, blocking, and reconnaissance ably lend credence to his claim as king. The aggressive cost allows Giott to make effective use of the rummaging, sculpting the hand early and often while remaining reasonable to cast throughout the game, even as commander tax accrues.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Koll, the Forgemaster"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bruenor Battlehammer"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Koll, the Forgemaster" href="#" target="_blank">Koll, the Forgemaster</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bruenor Battlehammer" href="#" target="_blank">Bruenor Battlehammer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are both Dwarf commanders that care about Equipment and could lay a claim to being better Dwarf Equipment commanders than Giott. They, however, lean further into the Equipment part and just happen to be Dwarves.</p>
<p>Koll, in particular, is better with Equipment that enter equipped to tokens, such as those with living weapon. Bruenor, on the other hand, pumps equipped creatures and reduces the cost of equipping. Neither carry the Equipment well, however, so both are unable to lead from the front like Giott.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Depala, Pilot Exemplar" href="#" target="_blank">Depala, Pilot Exemplar</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is able to lead from the front, and she even acts as a lord for Dwarves, but she focuses on Vehicles instead of Equipment. While there is space for a Dwarf Vehicle deck, especially one that uses Vehicles to tap creatures for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Magda, Brazen Outlaw" href="#" target="_blank">Magda, Brazen Outlaw</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, it would go against the traditional lore of Dwarves as mountainfolk and forgemasters, which is cool but less established.</p>
<p>Giott reigns king because of his aggressive cost and ability to play offense, defense, and card velocity engine. It’s rare to find all of these in an aggressively costed package, and even rarer in a kindred package, making Giott a hidden gem of the <em>Final Fantasy</em> set.</p>
<p>Dwarves occupy an odd space in the kindred world, as they want Equipment, but heavy Equipment decks tend to lean towards singularly powerful threats, such as the ones created in Voltron decks. Giott needs help to become that big, but the double strike accentuates every Equipment he racks up.</p>
<p>Since he’s not that big, however, Giott is just as happy to build up a weapons storehouse and suit up his brethren, taking up their arms only after they’ve fallen.</p>
<h2>Key Cards for <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Giott, King of the Dwarves" href="#" target="_blank">Giott, King of the Dwarves</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Priest of Ancient Lore"></div></div>
<p>Giott is the rare case where he needs two different categories of cards to work together and form a cohesive offensive strategy.</p>
<p>Thankfully, his rummaging gives him the card velocity and selection needed to bridge the two. Dwarves and Equipment are also flexible enough that they can serve multiple roles.</p>
<p>For example, the aforementioned <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bruenor Battlehammer" href="#" target="_blank">Bruenor Battlehammer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>’s cost reduction of equip abilities behaves as additional ramp and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Priest of Ancient Lore" href="#" target="_blank">Priest of Ancient Lore</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a Dwarf that gains life and draws a card when it enters, which helps increase the options for future rummaging.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bearded Axe"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Trailblazer&#039;s Boots"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Maul of the Skyclaves"></div></div>
<p>Dwarves tend to have middling stats, with some being aggressively costed small creatures with relevant abilities, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Reyav, Master Smith" href="#" target="_blank">Reyav, Master Smith</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>’s 2/2 for two that gives double strike to attacking equipped creatures, and some being higher-costed and power-heavy, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bruenor Battlehammer" href="#" target="_blank">Bruenor Battlehammer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>’s 5/3 for four mana.</p>
<p>As a result, our secondary synergy category consists of Equipment that increase power, such as <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bearded Axe" href="#" target="_blank">Bearded Axe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, provide evasion, such as <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Trailblazer&#039;s Boots" href="#" target="_blank">Trailblazer&#039;s Boots</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, or combine the two, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Maul of the Skyclaves" href="#" target="_blank">Maul of the Skyclaves</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which can even auto-equip itself!</p>
<p>These pieces provide the punch needed to break through the inevitable board stalls that occur when small Boros creatures meet big green beasties.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Prying Blade"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Beamtown Beatstick"></div></div>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Diamond Pick-Axe"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Goldvein Pick"></div></div>
<p>One of the benefits of Equipment is that they have been featured so many times in so many sets and at so many rarities that they're flexible enough to perform a variety of tasks.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Prying Blade" href="#" target="_blank">Prying Blade</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Beamtown Beatstick" href="#" target="_blank">Beamtown Beatstick</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Diamond Pick-Axe" href="#" target="_blank">Diamond Pick-Axe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Goldvein Pick" href="#" target="_blank">Goldvein Pick</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are all functional reprints, each of which makes Treasure tokens when the creature connects, which doubles when the creature has double strike, such as Giott’s natural combat ability and Reyav’s universal ability.</p>
<p>These double triggers help to power out the deck’s more explosive turns: as any combo player can attest, a steady stream of mana and cards are the bread and butter, with payoff cards as the meat!</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Infiltration Lens"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Glimmer Lens"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mask of Memory"></div></div>
<p>Speaking of functional reprints that trigger on combat, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Infiltration Lens" href="#" target="_blank">Infiltration Lens</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Glimmer Lens" href="#" target="_blank">Glimmer Lens</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mask of Memory" href="#" target="_blank">Mask of Memory</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> all draw or loot with similar timing.</p>
<p>That may seem a bit excessive, given our commander’s ability to rummage, and this is where the deck’s customization can come in. In an unknown playgroup (which is what I build these decks for), I tend to lean towards less interaction, a lower power level, and a more linear strategy.</p>
<p>I also like to plan for the commander to be unavailable, due to excessive commander tax, oppressive static abilities, or other adverse situations.</p>
<p>As a result, a small draw dedicated draw package helps the deck draw through land pockets, fix mana, and find action, although these ten cards could be cut in favor of removal, interaction, or even a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sunforger" href="#" target="_blank">Sunforger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> package.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sunforger"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Citizen&#039;s Crowbar"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Dispatch"></div></div>
<p>Removal, interaction, or a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sunforger" href="#" target="_blank">Sunforger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> package would make the deck more skill-intensive and more custom to a given playgroup, which is why the current incarnation eschews them.</p>
<p>There are some Equipment that can double as removal, such as <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Citizen&#039;s Crowbar" href="#" target="_blank">Citizen&#039;s Crowbar</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, which would maintain the deck’s ratio while sneaking in a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Naturalize" href="#" target="_blank">Naturalize</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>Interaction such as <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Path to Exile" href="#" target="_blank">Path to Exile</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dispatch" href="#" target="_blank">Dispatch</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can deal with the large creatures that can brick wall our smaller Dwarves, and can even slot into a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sunforger" href="#" target="_blank">Sunforger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> package.</p>
<p>The <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sunforger" href="#" target="_blank">Sunforger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> package would consist of the titular card plus nine instants to tutor up. The ability to tutor up those nine cards is a powerful one, but it makes decisions difficult, including our rummaging, as we don’t want to draw the tutorable cards and we risk reducing the amount of live targets it can find.</p>
<h2>How Does This <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Giott, King of the Dwarves" href="#" target="_blank">Giott, King of the Dwarves</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> Commander Deck Win?</h2>
<p>This Giott deck looks to flood the board with Equipment and Dwarves and then punch through damage. It's very much an aggro-combo deck looking to attack early and often while opponents are setting up.</p>
<p>Our curve is relatively low, and we can easily cast multiple spells in the same turn. Equip costs, multi-spelling, and commander tax all provide reasons to run extra lands.</p>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>This is an aggressive kindred deck, aiming to attack early and often. We don’t need much setup; we want to attack opponents while they are setting up.</p>
<p>We have some ways to punch through damage and break board stalls, as well as to rummage through our library using our commander’s passive ability.</p>
<p>How would you use those final slots? Would you want extra velocity, removal, interaction, or a Sunforger package?</p>
