Commander Strategy
Voltron decks focus resources on one Commander or primary attacker and protect that threat while increasing its power, evasion, resilience, or combat-damage value. Equipment, Auras, counters, double strike, protection, and extra-combat effects can support Voltron, but none proves the Strategy alone.
What This Strategy Does
Builds around one Commander or primary attacker instead of spreading combat pressure across a board.
Uses Equipment, Auras, counters, pump, evasion, protection, or extra combats to make that threat matter.
Turns combat damage, commander damage, or repeated connection into the deck's main pressure plan.
Keeps Equipment attachment and Aura attachment as private Mechanics unless the full deck plan is concentrated on one threat.

Featured Commanders
Lightning's Factory evidence shows a deck plan built around Lightning personally connecting in combat, then using Equipment, double strike, evasion, protection, and extra combats to make Stagger and commander-damage pressure matter.
Commander Intelligence
Captain America has Equipment-facing evidence and a reviewed single-threat branch where Shield and Equipment concentration matter more than broad Equipment value.
Commander Intelligence
Cloud has Equipment and combat-scaling evidence where concentrating buffs on one attacker changes combat math enough to count as Voltron support.
Commander Intelligence
Tifa has Voltron, landfall, pump spell, Equipment, and protection signals that point to one attacker becoming the primary pressure point.
Commander IntelligenceMechanical Packages
Equipment attachment supports Voltron only when the deck repeatedly concentrates gear on one Commander or primary attacker.
Auras can support the single-threat plan, but Aura value by itself remains a private Mechanic or adjacent package.
Protection keeps the primary threat on the battlefield after resources are concentrated on it.
Combat-damage triggers matter when the primary threat connecting is the deck's main pressure or value plan.
Extra combats can multiply one attacker's pressure, but extra combat remains a private package until the Strategy review proves single-threat dependency.

No. Equipment attachment is a private Mechanic. Voltron requires evidence that the deck's main plan is developing and protecting one primary threat.
