Legendary Creature — Human Soldier Mercenary
Haste When Cloud enters, attach up to one target Equipment you control to it. Whenever Cloud attacks, draw a card for each equipped attacking creature you control. Then if Cloud has power 7 or greater, create two Treasure tokens.
“Equip your whole team, draw cards, make treasures, attack for the win.”
Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER is your Naya equipment commander that rewards you for going wide with equipped creatures. The core gameplan is to suit up multiple attackers—Cloud itself, tokens, or utility creatures—then swing in for both card draw and treasure generation. Cloud acts as a resource engine: every attack turns your equipment into card advantage, and once you hit 7 power across your team, you're printing mana. This lets you curve into bigger threats, more equipment, or explosive finishes. The deck naturally builds toward a midrange tempo strategy where you're ahead on cards and mana while dealing consistent damage.
Win conditions are flexible but lean toward combat: either bash in with an equipped Cloud alongside tokens, or use the treasures and card advantage to chain threats until the table is overrun. Equipment payoffs like Stoneforge Mystic and Sram let you maximize your draws, while token makers (Bitterblossom, Jetmir's Garden tokens) give you more attacking bodies to equip and trigger Cloud's ability. You're not going for a fast combo kill—instead, you're playing a tempo game where superior card flow and mana generation outpace your opponents.
