Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER
Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER Commander Deck
Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER leads an Equipment-focused wide aggro deck that leverages a massive suite of weapons and armor to pump attacking creatures, with Cloud himself generating card draw whenever equipped creatures attack and producing Treasure when his power reaches 7 or greater. The deck floods the board with creatures through token generation and Equipment that deploy Hero tokens on entry, then uses combat-centric payoffs like extra combats, double strike enablers, and attack triggers to accumulate advantages across multiple combat phases. The primary win conditions involve Walking Ballista in combination with counter-doubling effects and damage-prevention replacement effects that loop counters infinitely, either through Hardened Scales or The Earth Crystal paired with Gatta and Luzzu, or through The Destined White Mage converting infinite lifegain triggers into infinite damage.
