Character Background

Strong Back reads like a green hymn to burden-bearing power: by literally wiring armor and charms to one hero it turns attachment into raw stats and cheaper gear. Mechanically it best supports a Voltron/aggro-value plan: build one resilient creature and pile on cheap Auras and Equipment to turn incremental attachments into explosive threats. The aura itself already gives at least +2/+2 and the card shaves {3} off equip activations and aura casts that target the enchanted creature, so pairing it with classics like Rancor or Ethereal Armor and big finishers such as Colossus Hammer (or efficient swords and greaves) lets you reach lethal quickly or produce enormous tempo swings. Deckbuilding tip: include an enchantress package (Argothian Enchantress or similar draw engines), cheap recursive auras, and a couple of protection pieces (Swiftfoot Boots/Hexproof effects) so your investment survives removal; aim for a critical mass of 3–4 attachments to reliably convert buffs into a game-ending clock.
