How do you become enemy #1 in just a few turns? Two pieces of equipment is all it takes ya'll. Slap them swords on those thighs and swing away! 😼
>Why Balan?
Why not? You were probably expecting an elaborate reason to use her... but I'm here to tell you she's just one hell of a strong independent cat woman that can swing some big ass swords... effectively, I may add. What more do you want in a Voltronfu? Throw me over your shoulder and carry me to victory Balan bae.
Some backstory: Balan was introduced in Commander 2017 and has been a strong Voltron pick since. She now has gotten a sick ass reprint in Jumpstart 2022, however this reprint has included the infamous 10x waifu "tax"... ironic since it's a mono white card. She's a badass cat knight that can swiftly take an opponent out of the game in just a few turns when kept unchecked
Extremely strong Voltron Commander
She can bypass shroud effects when attaching equipment via her activated ability, therefore, she can be easily protected with multiple instances of shroud making it harder to remove all of the permanents attached to her ultimately making Balan a mainstay on the battlefield where she belongs
If your opponents are focusing three or more permanents that protect her (for example), they’re not focusing Balan, leaving at least one opponent open for an attack due a lack of mana
Double Strike triggers equipment abilties twice since there are two seperate instances of player damage
For example, oneBloodforged Battle-Axe equipped to Balan will create two Bloodforged Battle-Axes after establishing combat damage to a player
Then equip those axes to Balan for just a white and colorless that turn or following turn, attack again and create six more axes and so on
This will also trigger Puresteel Paladin for each axe that enters the battlefield allowing for ridiculous card advantage
Lastly, card draw! Throw the Mask of Memory onto Balan to draw four cards, then discard two... this is a big deal; card advantage wins games!
Balan has so much potential power backed up by her equipment and damn near endless utility! ♥
If there’s a risk of Grafted Exoskeleton being destroyed in response to equiping, it’s safer to tutor for the Colossus Hammer (26 Commander damage is more than enough)
Problems: You cannot play more than 1 of: Helm of the Host.
