Strategy
Luke Cage is a resilient beatstick that grows bigger and unkillable when attacking alone. Your game plan is straightforward: swing with Luke Cage as a solo attacker, watch him get +2/+0 and indestructible, and push through damage while he's nearly impossible to block effectively or remove. You'll support him with Equipment like Captain America's Shield and Unstable Molecule Suit to boost his survivability, and include cards that give him evasion or make blocking dangerous for opponents. Since Luke is white, you can lean into Heroes tribal synergy with cards like Avengers Assemble! and Super-Soldier Serum to make him hit harder and draw cards.
The deck uses a midrange shell with mana ramp and card draw to ensure you hit your threats on time, then pivots to protecting Luke once he's online. Equipment is your best friend here—stack them on him to amplify his power and make him an even more lethal threat. You can also include board wipes like Heroic Sacrifice to protect Luke while removing obstacles, and white's spot removal to clear the way for attacks. The goal is to close out games in 6–8 turns by accumulating damage with an increasingly hard-to-stop commander.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive Moxes and Grim Monolith; use Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystic, and basic mana rocks like Sol Ring and Marble Diamond instead. Swap pricey Equipment for budget staples like Sai of the Shinobi and Korg, the Hammer's Edge.
