Kellan, the Fae-Blooded // Birthright Boon

Gameplan

Suit up Kellan with Auras and Equipment to make him a double-striking threat while anthem-buffing your wider board, then close games through commander damage or a wide swing. Birthright Boon tutors your best aura/equipment early, so you can curve into voltron quickly. You play efficient creatures, protect Kellan, and overwhelm with combat.

Key Cards

• Colossus Hammer — Cheap equipment that pairs with equip-cost reducers to turn Kellan into a one-shot kill with double strike.
• Sigarda's Aid — Flash in Auras and Equipment at instant speed and attach equipment free, protecting against removal and enabling surprise lethal.
• Danitha Capashen, Paragon — Reduces Aura and Equipment costs while providing a backup voltron body with relevant keywords.
• Shadowspear — Grants trample and lifelink so Kellan's doubled damage punches through blockers and stabilizes you.
• Swiftfoot Boots — Hexproof and haste keep Kellan safe and let him swing the turn he's recast.
• Forge Anew — Reanimates equipment from the yard, attaches free, and reduces equip costs for a strong rebuild engine.

Upgrade Path

Lean into equipment over fragile auras for resilience, adding cost reducers like Puresteel Paladin and Sram, Senior Edificer for card draw. Add protection (Robe of the Archmagi, Mithril Coat, Heroic Intervention) and reliable haste/trample enablers so Kellan threatens lethal the turn he lands. For top-end, include Embercleave, Sword of Feast and Famine, and tutors like Open the Armory and Steelshaper's Gift to find your best closer.
