“Flip between a 10/1 attacker and a nearly unkillable blocker to win through commander damage.”
Flatman is a deceptive little hero with a massive 10 toughness that flips into a 10 power attacker thanks to his Origami-Fu ability. The core gameplan is to abuse this power-and-toughness swap repeatedly—activating it multiple times per turn when you have the mana, turning him into a lethal threat while staying resilient as a blocker. You'll build around ways to untap him, generate extra mana, and protect him so he can keep flipping back and forth.
The deck wants to lean into both Voltron-style equipment (to make his swaps more impactful) and mana acceleration so you can activate Origami-Fu multiple times. Cards like Captain America's Shield and Unstable Molecule Suit turn his durability into something truly scary, while Equipment like Mjölnir rewards his repeated power spikes. Untap effects and mana rocks let you go into the mid-game as a 10/1 attacker with vigilance, then flip back to blocking mode when needed.
You win primarily through commander damage—a 10/1 swinging face three times is lights out—though you can also go the Equipment route for a slower, grindier Voltron strategy. The beauty of Flatman is his flexibility: he's hard to remove thanks to his base toughness, yet explosive on offense when the moment calls for it.

Skip expensive mana rocks like Mana Crypt; use signets, talismans, and basics with Avengers Tower instead. Replace premium Equipment like Batterskull with budget alternatives like Iron Man Armor or Vibranium Strike Gauntlets from the new set.
