Cloud, Midgar Mercenary

Cloud, Midgar Mercenary is a low-to-the-ground Equipment tutor and trigger multiplier that transforms into a powerful engine once you load him up. His first ability gives you instant deck consistency by finding any Equipment on turn two, setting up your game plan immediately. Once equipped, Cloud doubles down on triggered abilities—both his own and those from attached Equipment—turning cards like Sword of Fire and Ice or Batterskull into repeatable value machines that trigger twice per activation.

The deck wants to quickly assemble cheap Equipment and payoff cards that abuse doubled triggers. Think Gideon's Lawkeeper effects, Basilisk Collar giving double drain triggers, or Equipment with storm-like text. You're playing a Voltron-lite gameplan where Cloud becomes a modest threat that generates obscene amounts of value, eventually closing out games through combat or accumulated advantage. The white-only color identity keeps mana simple and opens up Equipment-focused strategies without diluting your synergies.
