Strategy
U.S. Agent, John Walker is a lean Equipment-focused commander that hits the ground running. When he enters, you immediately get a free Equipment (Sturdy Shield) that boosts his staying power, making him an efficient threat by turn four. Your game plan revolves around suiting him up with powerful Equipment to turn him into an evasive, resilient beatstick while generating value from Equipment triggers and attachments. You can lean into the new Marvel Equipment like Mjölnir and Captain America's Shield to stack multiple effects on Walker, turning him into a commander damage threat that's hard to block and nearly impossible to remove.
The deck wins through commander damage backed by Equipment synergies. Cards like Super-Soldier Serum turn Walker into a legendary Soldier and enable Equipment attachment triggers, while Swordsman's Steel grows exponentially as you add more Equipment. You'll layer defensive Equipment like Panther Habit (damage prevention + counters) alongside offensive ones, making Walker a swiss-army threat. The Orzhov color pair gives you access to removal, reanimation, and tutoring to find your key Equipment pieces.

Budget Build
Skip premium mana bases initially—use Gathering Place, Gleaming Bastion, and basics instead of Fetchlands. Replace expensive Equipment like Sword of Fire and Ice with Hawkeye's Bow, Iron Man Armor, and Vibranium Strike Gauntlets from MSH.
