Kíli the Resourceful
Legendary Creature — Dwarf Scout
Storied (If you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an enduring story for the rest of the game.) As long as you have an enduring story, you may pay {0} rather than pay the equip cost of the first equip ability you activate each turn. Whenever another Dwarf or Equipment you control enters, draw a card. This ability triggers only once each turn.

Strategy
Kíli the Resourceful is a lean Equipment-focused Voltron commander that turns on a powerful cost reduction engine once you hit the "storied" threshold—controlling three artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas. Your gameplan is to assemble that storied state quickly, then equip Kíli (or other creatures) for free each turn while drawing cards whenever Dwarves or Equipment enter. This card-draw engine fuels a virtuous cycle: you play cheap threats, tutor for more Equipment, and swing in for commander damage backed by an army of Dwarf tokens and artifact synergies.
The deck wins through a combination of evasive Voltron beatdown (equipping Kíli with unblockable creatures and evasion effects) and grinding out opponents via repeated card draw and token generation. White's Equipment suite pairs beautifully with Dwarf tribal payoffs—especially Dáin's Company and Dwarven Mauler—that reduce equip costs even further. Since storied is permanent once triggered, you're essentially unlocking a cost-reduction lock that scales into the midgame, letting you rebuild or refill your hand after board wipes.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive tutors like Enlightened Tutor; use mid-range artifact ramp like Wayfarer's Bauble, Thrór's Map, or Troop of Ponies instead. Swap pricey Equipment (Sword of X and Y) for efficient classics like Basilisk Collar, Bonesplitter, or new HOB alternatives like Dwarven Mattock.
