Card Text
Legendary Creature — Halfling Horror
Whenever Gollum attacks, look at the top two cards of your library, put them back in any order, then choose land or nonland. An opponent guesses whether the top card of your library is the chosen kind. Reveal that card. If they guessed right, remove Gollum from combat. Otherwise, you draw a card and Gollum can't be blocked this turn.

Strategy Guides
Equipment Strategy Guide
Equipment decks are for players who want the gear itself to be the engine, turning ordinary creatures into credible attackers. This strategy wants to assemble weapons, tutors, and equip-cost shortcuts, using equipment commanders that find or attach gear, to win through upgraded combat, commander damage, or a team carrying shared tools. Unlike Voltron, Equipment does not have to put every card on one creature, and unlike Artifacts it focuses on weapons rather than every artifact type. The best equipment decks EDH players build recover well after creature sweepers because the gear usually stays on the battlefield.
Voltron Strategy Guide
Voltron decks are for players who want the game to revolve around one protected attacker and the timing of each combat step. This strategy wants to build one creature, usually a commander, using equipment and auras for power, evasion, and protection, to win through 21 commander damage on each opponent. Unlike Tokens or Aggro, Voltron does not spread pressure across many bodies, and unlike broad Equipment decks the gear is focused on one threat rather than a wider artifact engine. The best Voltron commanders make commander damage decks feel like a resource puzzle: suit up, connect, protect the threat, then rebuild if the table answers it.
