Strategy
Nazahn is a equipment-focused commander that tutors out your best gear (or goes straight for Hammer of Nazahn) the moment he enters the battlefield. Your game plan is to build a voltron-style deck where you equip Nazahn or other creatures with powerful artifacts, then swing in for big damage while tapping down blockers. The tap ability on attack is a neat utility tool that lets you control the board while you're turning sideways, making your creatures harder to block effectively.
Your deck wants to lean into creatures that benefit from equipment—think keyword lords, anthems, or creatures with evasion. You'll run a mix of mana ramp, artifact tutors, and efficient equipment (especially the free Hammer). The goal is to hit the ground running, establish a threats quickly, and leverage Nazahn's tutoring to find exactly what you need. You're not trying to go off with a combo; you're just beating face with a well-equipped threat that disrupts your opponents' plans.

Budget Build
Skip expensive tutors like Enlightened Tutor—use Trinket Mage and artifact-focused creatures instead. Budget equipment like Basilisk Collar and Sword of the Animist do a ton of work.
