Noctis mach 3 by SilverFrost by Delaqua

Deck overview

This is an Esper artifact-combo deck helmed by Noctis, Prince of Lucis, whose graveyard-recursion ability (cast artifacts from the graveyard for 3 life) underpins a dense artifact engine. The primary win is assembling Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek for infinite Thopters and life, then converting via Altar of the Brood (mill), Marionette Apprentice (drain), or Aetherflux Reservoir (life pay). Krark-Clan Ironworks + Thopter Foundry provides infinite mana as a parallel line. The deck runs a deep artifact-tutor suite - Fabricate, Trinket Mage, Transit Mage, transmute cards, and Repurposing Bay - plus backup recursion in Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Mystic Forge. Solemnity neatly negates the finality counters Noctis's ability imposes. Combat is a fallback through Thopters, Phantom Train, and Squall, SeeD Mercenary's recursion.
