What is "voltron"?

Voltron refers to the old cartoon, ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltron ) where 5 lions bots would combine to make 1 ultimate attacker. In edh, this refers to decks where the general is the focal point and the spells/equipment/enchantments are geared TO them to make that "ultimate" attacker.

See: Uril, the Mist Stalker, Thrun, the last troll, or Zur, The Enchanter.

Red vs Blue also explains how voltron can be a fun strategy in real life.

Killem nailed it.

What I actually wanted this to be was 4 words or less, but that would be significantly less informative for the most part.

But yeah, it's been pretty much covered already.

I'll form the head!

:D, but yeah that would have been really hard to explain the archtype LOL.

• Voltron is an archetype that tries to win quickly by inflicting lethal general damage.
• Voltron strategies usually play a high number of equipment and/or auras to boost the general's power, grant evasion, and protect the general from removal.
• The remaining cards in a voltron deck are primarily dedicated to protecting the general or to accelerating the general out quickly.
• Voltron generals are usually some combination of: (1) cheap creatures with good stats (Isamaru, Hound of Konda, Doran the Siege Tower), (2) creatures that can inflict 21 general damage very quickly due to their size (Rafiq of the Many, Adamaro, First to Desire), or (3) creatures with built-in protection and synergy (Zur, Uril, Thrun).

By the power of Grayskull.

That is clearly one of the most awesome things in the history of things that are awesome.

Voltron:

Too many eggs in one basket.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
One man (general) alone, stands alone.
