War Machine, Legacy of Iron

War Machine, Legacy of Iron is a lightweight combat-focused commander that turns your team into a damage engine. At the start of combat, you pump another creature with power equal to War Machine's own power, creating explosive attacks that reward you for building a wide board. The deck wants to fill the battlefield with efficient creatures—especially those with evasion or enters-the-battlefield effects—then amplify them with War Machine's pump ability turn after turn. You win by chaining these combat phases, growing your creatures with +1/+1 counters, Equipment, and anthem effects until opponents crumble under coordinated aerial assault.

The core gameplan is straightforward: ramp into creatures, suit up War Machine with cheap Equipment (especially flying-granting gear), and use the pump trigger to turn small fliers into threats. The deck plays best as a tempo-midrange list that scales from early pressure into a mid-game takedown. You'll include cards that boost toughness defensively and cards that draw you into more creatures, ensuring you're never without threats to amplify.
