“7/7 Voltron attacker with forced combat every turn.”
Ruhan of the Fomori is a straightforward combat-focused commander that rewards you for playing cards that trigger when he attacks or deals damage. His randomness is actually a feature—you're getting a 7/7 attacker every single turn that will always find a target, so you want to load your deck with effects that turn that consistent damage into a faster clock. Think cards that give him evasion, double strike, extra combat phases, or effects that trigger on combat damage.
Your gameplan revolves around protecting and empowering Ruhan while stacking on damage triggers and pump effects. Voltron-style equipment, auras, and instant-speed combat tricks are your bread and butter. Cards like Assault Strobe, Temur Battle Rage, or even simple lords turn Ruhan into a serious threat. Since he's a bit randomized, leaning into the aggro angle means you're not too upset when he attacks the "wrong" player—you're applying pressure all around the table and closing games fast.

Skip expensive dual lands; basic islands, mountains, and plains work fine early on. Swap pricey equipment like Sword of X and Y for budget hits like Bonesplitter or Grafted Wargear.
