The Commander
Noncreature, non-Equipment artifacts you control are Equipment in addition to their other types and have "Equipped creature gets +1/+0" and equip 
.
Doctor's companion (You can have two commanders if the other is the Doctor.)
Guide
Gameplan
Dan Lewis turns your whole artifact suite into cheap Equipment, letting you suit up a single creature with a pile of +1/+0 buffs while also keeping each artifact's original ability online. As a Doctor's companion he wants to pair with a Doctor partner (or be paired with a beefy attacker) and snowball mana rocks, Treasures, and utility artifacts into a Voltron threat that swings hard and connects for damage triggers.
Strengths
- Converts ramp artifacts (Sol Ring, Signets, Treasures) into free attack-boosting Equipment, turning dead mana into damage
- Cheap equip costs let you re-suit creatures every turn for huge tempo swings
- Mono-red gives reliable Equipment payoffs, extra combats, and direct damage backup
- Pairs with any Doctor for a flexible two-commander shell and bigger color access through the partner
Weaknesses
- Equipment buffs only grant +1/+0, so you need many artifacts to make a real threat — slow to start
- Extremely vulnerable to a single removal spell on the equipped creature, wasting all that mana
- Boardwipes and artifact destruction can erase your whole engine at once
- Only +1/+0 means no toughness or evasion on its own; the creature can be blocked or outraced
Key Cards
- Sol Ring — Premier ramp that becomes a free +1/+0 Equipment, so it works as mana and a buff simultaneously.
- Sigarda's Aid — Lets you attach all your artifact-Equipment at flash speed for free, enabling explosive surprise attacks.
- Puresteel Paladin — Free equips when you have metalcraft and card draw on Equipment ETBs supercharges Dan's artifact-Equipment swarm.
- Brass Squire — Repeatable free attaching of your heaviest artifacts onto your attacker each turn.
- Combat Celebrant — Extra combat steps multiply the damage from your stacked +1/+0 Equipment for explosive finishes.
Upgrade Path
Add cheap evasion and protection like Swiftfoot Boots, Whispersilk Cloak, and Shadowspear to keep your equipped attacker alive and connecting. Lean into free-equip enablers (Sigarda's Aid, Puresteel Paladin, Brass Squire) and extra combats (Aggravated Assault, Combat Celebrant) to convert +1/+0 stacks into one-shot kills. Round out with strong mana rocks that double as Equipment and a few protective instants to dodge spot removal and boardwipes.
