Captain America, Liberator

—

Captain America is a 5/5 that tutors a ≤3 MV Equipment on ETB and generates 1/1 Soldier tokens equal to the number of attached Equipment when attacking, bridging equipment-voltron and tokens-go-wide into a single commander. He's a natural Brawl bomb as a self-sufficient engine (fetch + token generation in one body), but in multiplayer Commander he competes with more powerful Equipment commanders like Kemba or Syr Gwyn. The token generation rewards stacking multiple cheap Equipments (Sword of X and Y series fetched at 3 MV or less), synergizing strongly with Soldier typal payoffs.

• Captain America's ETB tutor is capped at mana value 3 or less, which excludes most Swords of X and Y (MV 3 = exactly 3 qualifies), but higher-end equipment like Embercleave (MV 4) or Batterskull (MV 5) are out of reach — build around cheap, impactful equipment like Shadowspear, Sword of the Animist, or Runechanter's Pike.

• The token-generation trigger fires once per attack per attached Equipment, so equipping multiple pieces to Captain America (rather than distributing among the board) maximizes the token output — stack all equipment on him rather than spreading.

• Because Captain America generates tokens each attack (not each combat), he pairs exceptionally well with extra-combat effects like Aggravated Assault or Aurelia, the Warleader to multiply the Soldier output exponentially.
