Overview:

This Jeskai (WUR) deck helmed by Satya, Aetherflux Genius focuses on energy generation, token duplication, and artifact synergies. Satya enables explosive turns by creating token copies of high-value creatures during attacks, fueled by energy counters. The deck combines energy payoffs like Aetherworks Marvel and Gonti's Aether Heart with token multipliers like Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer and Legion Loyalty to overwhelm opponents. While Satya accelerates token production, the deck has multiple standalone threats and combos, making it resilient to commander removal.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Energy Ramp (Turns 1-4): Deploy energy generators like Aetherstorm Roc, Decoction Module, or Roil Cartographer. Use artifacts like Solar Transformer and Coalition Relic to fix mana.
2. Token Generation (Turns 3-6): Attack with Satya to copy key creatures (e.g., Goldspan Dragon, Combustible Gearhulk). Use Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer to convert tokens into heavy hitters. Activate Legion Loyalty for myriad triggers.
3. Win Conditions (Turns 6-9):
   • Combat: Overrun with token armies amplified by Salvation Colossus, Akroma's Will, or Scurry of Gremlins.
   • Combo: Infinite turns via Gonti's Aether Heart (requires 8 energy per activation; pair with Decoction Module + Aethergeode Miner for recurring energy).
   • Cheat Threats: Use Aetherworks Marvel to cast Aethersquall Ancient or Stone Idol Generator for free.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Prioritize hands with 2-3 lands (including color-fixing like Command Tower).
• Seek early energy sources (Aethergeode Miner, Era of Innovation) or ramp (Sol Ring, Burnished Hart).
• Keep hands with Satya + protection (Swiftfoot Boots) or a critical mass of energy payoffs.

Key Tips:

• Use Professional Face-Breaker and Goldspan Dragon to convert combat damage into Treasure for mana acceleration.
• Decoction Module + Aethergeode Miner creates infinite energy if you can flicker the Miner repeatedly.
• Save Akroma's Will for lethal swings or to protect against board wipes.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Artifact/Enchantment Reliance: Key engines like Aetherworks Marvel and Legion Loyalty are vulnerable to Vandalblast or Austere Command.
• Slow Setup: Lacks fast mana (e.g., Mana Crypt), delaying critical turns.

Moderate

• Board Wipes: Struggles to rebuild after Farewell-style exiles without recursion.
• Energy Interruption: Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider or Solemnity halts energy generation.

Minor

• Limited Stack Interaction: Minimal counterspells to protect combos.
• Token-Specific Hate: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite or Crawlspace neuters combat strategies.

Most Important Cards:

• Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer (Token duplication engine)
• Gonti's Aether Heart (Infinite turns enabler)
• Legion Loyalty (Myriad for exponential tokens)
• Aetherworks Marvel (Free spell cheating)
• Decoction Module (Energy generation + flicker synergy)
• Professional Face-Breaker (Treasure/card advantage)
• Goldspan Dragon (Mana acceleration)
• Coveted Jewel (Draw 3, mana burst)
• Confiscation Coup (Steal key threats)
• Aether Refinery (Energy multiplier + token generator)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10

• Can threaten wins via combat or Gonti's Aether Heart by turns 7-9, but lacks fast mana for earlier explosive plays.

Resilience: 5/10

• Limited protection outside Akroma's Will; relies on rebuilding via energy engines after wipes.

Consistency: 6/10

• Multiple energy generators and token payoffs, but few tutors to assemble combos reliably.

Interaction: 5/10

• Spot removal (Swords to Plowshares, Confiscation Coup) and board wipes (Farewell), but minimal counterspells.

Rating Justification:

This deck has a focused gameplan with multiple paths to victory (combat, infinite turns) but operates at a slower pace (T7-9) compared to optimized lists. Its reliance on artifacts and vulnerability to disruption cap its resilience, placing it in the optimized casual tier.

Power level: 5.5 - 6.0
