Merry, Esquire of Rohan

Merry, Esquire of Rohan is a cheap legendary creature that rewards you for attacking with multiple legends. The core gameplan is to build a deck loaded with other legendary creatures—especially ones with strong enters-the-battlefield effects or evasion—then attack with Merry alongside them to trigger card draw. Since Merry has haste, you can immediately start swinging and fueling your hand, while equipment like swords and hammers turn it into an evasive threat that also unlocks first strike.

The deck leans toward a go-wide aggro or midrange strategy where each legend pulls double duty: dealing damage while enabling Merry's draw engine. You'll pack efficient legends across all colors (leaning heavily into red and white), ramp spells, and a light equipment package to make Merry's combat phase deadly. Win conditions are straightforward: legends swarm the board and attack, Merry draws cards to fuel more plays, and the table takes damage faster than they can interact.
