Legendary Creature — Human
Noncreature, non-Equipment artifacts you control are Equipment in addition to their other types and have "Equipped creature gets +1/+0" and equip {1}. Doctor's companion (You can have two commanders if the other is the Doctor.)
“Turn every artifact into a {1} equip that pumps your team.”
Dan Lewis turns your noncreature artifacts into cheap, efficient Equipment that pump your creatures with +1/+0 and cost just {1} to equip. This is perfect for artifact-heavy strategies that weren't traditionally Equipment-focused—think artifact tokens, Constructs, or random utility artifacts. You'll build a deck stuffed with artifact synergies and creatures that benefit from being suited up, turning Dan into a equipment lord that makes your whole artifact package relevant.
The gameplan is straightforward: ramp into artifacts, equip your threats cheaply and repeatedly, and attack for commander damage or overwhelming combat wins. Cards like Goblin Welder, Daretti, and Workshop let you rebuy artifacts and squeeze even more value. Dan's strength is flexibility—you're not locked into one artifact theme, so you can mix utility artifacts (Solemn Simulacrum, Relic of Progenitus) with payoffs that reward Equipment attachments. It's a budget-friendly strategy since you're often using artifacts that were already good for other reasons.

Skip expensive mana rocks—use Iron Myr, Everflowing Chalice, and Palantír of Orthanc instead of pricey artifacts; Kaya's Ghostform beats pricey recursion.
