Deck overview

This deck is a high-speed Boros artifact combo engine commanded by Zabaz, the Glimmerwasp. Its primary game plan is assembling graveyard-based artifact recursion loops to eliminate all three opponents in a single decisive turn. The fastest line centers on Underworld Breach, Grinding Station, and zero-cost mana artifacts like Lion's Eye Diamond or Lotus Petal to mill the entire library and loop burn damage with Glaring Fleshraker, Weftstalker Ardent, or Pyrite Spellbomb. Redundant combo paths include Krark-Clan Ironworks or Ashnod's Altar paired with Scrap Trawler, Myr Retriever, and Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle. Low-cost artifact ramp and dedicated tutors (Oswald Fiddlebender, Urza's Saga, Moonsilver Key) ensure rapid deployment by Turn 4. The deck protects its win turn using Defense Grid, Deflecting Swat, and Pyroblast while employing premier 1-mana white removal to handle opposing threats.
