Legendary Creature — Cat Soldier
Vigilance As long as Raksha Golden Cub is equipped, Cat creatures you control get +2/+2 and have double strike.
“Suit up your Cats with Equipment for double-strike feline dominance.”
Raksha Golden Cub is your feline general in an Equipment-focused Voltron strategy. The core gameplan is straightforward: suit up Raksha with Equipment, then watch your Cat army transform into relentless attackers with +2/+2 and double strike. This turns even modest Cats into lethal threats while letting Raksha attack safely thanks to vigilance.
Your deck splits between two angles. First, pack efficient Cats and Cat lords (like Leonin Arbiter, Mirri the Cursed, or Prowess of the Fair) to build a threatening board presence. Second, load up on cheap Equipment that scales from Raksha—swords, axes, and artifacts that generate value when equipped. Once you have one or two Equipment pieces attached, your Cats become exponentially more dangerous. The beauty is that vigilance lets Raksha block while still attacking, and your creatures stay back to apply pressure rather than die to combat.
You'll win through combat damage, typically turning 2–3 equipped Cats into a lethal army by turns 6–9. The deck rewards careful sequencing and Equipment tutoring; it's less about explosive combos and more about incremental advantage and smart attacks.
