How this commander wants to play

Thorin is your Equipment-focused lord who turns your gear into direct damage. The dream is casting him, immediately attaching multiple Equipment you've been holding back, then dealing a burst of damage equal to the newly equipped creature's power. This plays perfectly into a Voltron-adjacent strategy where you're building a single threat, but with a twist—Thorin rewards you for going wide with Equipment across your board rather than just suiting up one creature. You're looking to assemble 3–5 pieces of Equipment early, hold them back or tutor them up, then deploy Thorin and cash them in for a damage spike. Follow-up hits with an equipped creature close out games quickly.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Skip pricey Equipment like Skullclamp and Shadowspear; use Adventuring Gear, Explorer's Scope, and Axes of Adun as budget swaps that still trigger Thorin's effect.
