Why is this card good?
Hammer of Nazahn is a quietly excellent Voltron payoff that solves two problems at once: it grants indestructible (huge for protecting your commander against board wipes and combat) and it auto-attaches all your future Equipment for free. That second clause is the real value—in a deck running ten-plus Equipment, you save enormous amounts of mana on equip costs over a game.
It shines in dedicated Equipment/Voltron decks: think Wyleth, Soul of Steel, Akiri, Halvar, Nazahn himself, or Syr Gwyn. Anywhere you're stacking auras of steel onto one creature, the indestructible plus free attaches make it a centerpiece. It also pairs nastily with indestructible-enablers and protects you from edicts less, but shrugs off Wrath of God entirely.
Don't bother in decks running only a couple of Equipment—the +2/+0 and equip aren't worth a card slot without the free-attach synergy paying off. It's also slow at four mana and does nothing the turn it lands unless you have a creature ready.
