Trample When Thorin enters, attach any number of target Equipment you control to target creature you control. When one or more Equipment become attached to that creature this way, that creature deals damage equal to its power to up to one target creature.
Predicted power
Standard 38 Eng.DUsr.

A 3/4 trample for four is weak alone; with Equipment already deployed, free redeployment plus power-based creature removal is a credible niche payoff.

Best home Red Equipment midrangeBand fringeConfidence 54%

Could be wrong if Unrevealed Equipment density and payoffs could make the setup either substantially more reliable or too inconsistent.

Pioneer 26 Eng.FUsr.

The payoff is real, but four mana and a preexisting Equipment board are demanding in Pioneer; it is unlikely to displace efficient standalone threats.

Best home Equipment midrangeBand speculativeConfidence 66%

Could be wrong if A resilient Equipment shell that can exploit the one-shot free reattach could make it a genuine engine.

Modern 21 Eng.FUsr.

Moving several Equipment and killing a creature is powerful setup payoff, but a four-mana creature is slow and fragile for Modern's efficient Equipment strategies.

Best home Equipment decksBand speculativeConfidence 70%

Could be wrong if Fast mana or unusually high Equipment density could make its ETB swing worth the mana and vulnerability.

Legacy 18 Eng.FUsr.

Legacy demands immediate, cheap impact; Thorin needs a board before its four-mana ETB matters and is vulnerable to efficient interaction.

Could be wrong if An accelerated Equipment shell could exploit the free mass attachment better than expected.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 53 Eng.CUsr.

Equipment decks can turn its ETB into free mass re-equipping and a sizable creature kill, though it remains a one-shot, setup-dependent four-drop.

Best home Red Equipment/Voltron decksBand role-playerConfidence 63%

Could be wrong if Its adoption depends on whether optimized lists value this payoff over cheaper Equipment tutors, creatures, and equip enablers.

Limited 68 Eng.BUsr.

A 3/4 trample for four is solid, and any equipped board can become a free upgrade plus a large creature-kill trigger; it is strong but synergy-dependent.

Best home Red Equipment deckBand premiumConfidence 42%

Could be wrong if Draft speed, Equipment availability, and removal density are unknown, so its payoff frequency is uncertain.

Equipment redeployment payoff

“Thorin is a conditional four-mana Equipment payoff: strong with a developed board, but an under-rate creature without one.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
