Ratonhnhaké꞉ton
Legendary Creature — Human Assassin
As long as Ratonhnhaké꞉ton hasn't dealt damage yet, it has hexproof and can't be blocked. Whenever Ratonhnhaké꞉ton deals combat damage to a player, create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with menace. When you do, return target Equipment card from your graveyard to the battlefield, then attach it to that token.

Strategy
Ratonhnhaké꞉ton is a evasive assassin that rewards you for dealing combat damage while protecting itself in the early game. The deck wants to swing in unblocked, generate Assassin tokens, and recur Equipment from your graveyard to outfit those tokens—turning small creatures into dangerous threats. Your gameplan is to build a modest army of equipped menace creatures while using blue and white to protect your commander and smooth out draws, eventually overwhelming opponents through combat.
The core synergy hinges on Equipment that either punches above their weight (like Skullclamp for card draw or Blackblade Reforged for scaling damage) or generates value when entering the battlefield. You'll stock your graveyard with cheap Equipment through self-mill or discard outlets, then recur them repeatedly as you connect with damage. This creates a snowball effect where each hit generates a new token and pulls another threat online, making the deck increasingly difficult to block out as the game progresses.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey Equipment like Teferi's Protection staples; lean on efficient repeatable gear like Bonesplitter and Nim Deathmantle, and use Faithless Looting or Stitcher's Supplier for budget graveyard filling instead of Tergrid's Lantern.
