Strategy
Dwalin, Weaponmaster is all about turning your Equipment into a growing threat engine. Every time Dwalin enters the battlefield or swings in, you're pumping all your equipped pieces with hone counters, which stack and grant +1/+0 each. The core gameplan is to attach cheap, efficient Equipment to Dwalin, then repeatedly trigger him to make both the Equipment and the equipped creature(s) bigger and faster. With first strike already built in, Dwalin pressures opponents early while you layer on damage that scales throughout the game.
Your win condition is straightforward: pump Dwalin into an unblockable threat, or spread Equipment across multiple creatures and turn them all into evasive damage-dealers. The deck wants redundant Equipment tutors and ways to flicker or re-cast Dwalin to trigger his ability multiple times per turn. Cards that give Dwalin evasion (shroud, flying, unblockable effects) or that untap him synergize beautifully, letting you attack and trigger repeatedly. You're playing a fast-paced Voltron variant that rewards smart sequencing and Equipment selection.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey Equipment like Shadowspear and Batterskull; use Steel Overseer, Ensoul Artifact, and Anthem effects instead—they're cheaper and still trigger hone counters effectively.
