Amy Rose is one of the six legendary creatures released as part of Magic: The Gathering's crossover with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise through its Secret Lair product line. The drop features six new-to-Magic cards, with Amy Rose being the one that is primarily Equipment-focused.

There are plenty of ways to build an Amy Rose deck, but she is one of the best commanders for what is called a Sunforger deck. These decks are built around the namesake Equipment and let you cast various spells from your library for free by unequipping it. This decklist will be utilizing Amy Rose as a Sunforger commander.

This decklist contains 19 creatures, seven sorceries, 21 instants, 17 artifacts, two enchantments, and 34 lands (one being the backside of an instant). Since Sunforger can cast instant spells directly from your library, there are a large number of them that either draw or pump stats (in some cases, both).

Key Cards

Amy Rose

Amy Rose is what makes the deck well-rounded. By attacking, you can cheat around any equip costs since Amy attaches Equipment with its effect??????. In the case with Sunforger, you want to constantly unattach it. So, Amy helps to re-equip Sunforger after you unattach it.

While Amy's primary use is using Sunforger, its effect to pump another creature is also very relevant. There are many pump spells in the deck, which should be used on Amy so that the power is even greater than another attacking creature.

Sunforger

The namesake of the Sunforger archetype, Sunforger gives a big power boost and can cast any red or white instant from the library for free. Sunforger's effect can be activated at any time, so it can get removal, a pump spell, or protection, whatever you might need given the current game state.

Generally, you want to equip Sunforger with Amy's effect, get the stat boosts, then unequip it to get a pump spell to deal even more damage??????. Normally, a Sunforger deck can be costly when it comes to equipping it back onto a creature, but Amy Rose equips it for free, and that's why it's one of, if not the best Sunforger commander.

Leyline Of Resonance

Many of the spells in the deck directly target a creature, making Leyline of Resonance one of the best permanents in the deck. It creates a free copy of any instant or sorcery spell, with the potential to be played for free if you're lucky enough to have it in your opening hand.

Feather, The Redeemed

The majority of your spells target a creature you control, which makes Feather, the Redeemed, the best creature outside your commander itself. It makes it so all instant and sorceries that target a creature get to return to the hand, making it so you essentially never lose these cards.

Even if Feather gets removed, so long as its effect is triggered, you'll still get the cards back. Feather makes cards like Leyline of Resonance even stronger, as you'll always have targeting spells to ensure it triggers. This is why having no hand size limit is vital to ensure you won't have to discard cards out of your hand.

How To Play The Deck

General Game Plan

An Amy Rose Sunforger Commander deck wants to get Sunforger on the battlefield as quickly as possible to start utilizing its effect. Sculpting Steel and Mirage Mirror are both excellent ways to get multiple copies of Sunforger on the battlefield to use the effect multiple times a turn.

Win Conditions And Flaws

The primary win condition is winning through combat. With how easy it is to cast pump spells and combat tricks, you can have two massive attackers since Amy's power can boost another creature. Amy is the prime target for pump spells, as there's little reason to spread them out unless your opponent might have removal.

You can also win the game through commander damage. If an opponent takes 21 or more combat damage from a commander, they automatically lose the game. With how much stat-boosting goes on, it becomes very easy for Amy to hit that threshold.

The biggest downside of the deck is its heavy reliance on Sunforger??????. Sunforger is a fantastic Equipment with a great effect, but if it ever gets removed, your deck becomes significantly weaker. You can make copies of Sunforger or get it back with a land like Buried Ruin, but if you don't have these available, your deck slows down considerably and becomes a weaker spellslinger deck instead of a full-power Sunforger one.
