Rationale
Sokka is a 3cmc 3/3 vigilance legendary warrior who reduces equipment spell costs by 1 per Ally controlled and auto-attaches an equipment at the start of combat — a self-contained equipment-voltron engine. He's signature in equipment-voltron shells, especially those that can populate an Ally board to discount large equipment, but he requires both equipment density and Ally density to hit peak value, making him more of a build-around commander than a generic staple.
Learnings (3)
Sokka's cost-reduction ability counts ALL Allies you control (including himself, since he is an Ally subtype via the Ally creature type), so a lone Sokka already provides {1} off each equipment spell.

The combat auto-attach trigger happens at the beginning of combat on YOUR turn, meaning it can equip for free every turn — effectively making any equipment function as if it had a free re-equip, which pairs explosively with equipment like Colossus Hammer that normally have prohibitive equip costs.

In mono-white Brawl, the Ally tribal payoff is hard to assemble due to the small card pool; Sokka plays better as a pure equipment-voltron commander than as an Ally-matters commander in that format.
