A cheap curve and extra ramp only lets you drop by 2-3, not 5
Since I am new to Flipside Gaming I would like to get started by sharing a little bit about myself
This clearly doesnt belong in just about every deck but if your local meta has heaps of equipment matter decks, you can turn someones 20/18 First strike, menace, temple, flying, lifelink Rograkh back into a more manageable 0/1
They often forego mid-game 4-drops and 5-drops to load up on early ramp spells and late-game closers
From there, you can probably handle all the smaller threats in their hand and just dont want them to draw the perfect curve-topper
Equipment commanders without white are always dicey because they miss out on the best support cards, but Gilgamesh, Master-at-Arms provides a huge mana advantage between the free equipment and the free cost to equip to itself
