📖 How to build Bruenor Battlehammer

Bruenor Battlehammer is a Boros legendary creature that rewards equipment. Each creature you control gets +2/+0 for each Equipment attached to it, so spreading equipment across a wide board creates a large attacking force. Its other ability lets you pay {0} instead of the equip cost for the first equip ability you activate each turn.

Build around cheap creatures that can carry several Equipment, and include plenty of Equipment so the bonus scales. Look for ways to put more creatures onto the battlefield and keep your mana flowing toward equipping. Include some removal and protection to keep your board intact.

The bonus depends entirely on Equipment staying attached, so losing creatures or Equipment quickly shrinks your attack. Bruenor is a legendary creature and can be targeted, and its ability only adds power, not toughness or evasion. Remember that only the first equip ability each turn can be paid for {0}.
