Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Jeskai artifact-charge-counter deck helmed by Optimus Prime, Hero // Optimus Prime, Autobot Leader, built around accumulating charge counters and +1/+1 counters across a dense artifact board. The primary win condition is Darksteel Reactor - reaching 20 charge counters for an outright win - with Lux Artillery as a secondary counter-based finisher that deals 10 damage to each opponent. The deck leans heavily on proliferate redundancy, with Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus doubling every proliferate, plus Kilo, Apogee Mind, Thrummingbird, Surge Conductor, Patrolling Peacemaker, Experimental Augury, Tezzeret's Gambit, and Karn's Bastion accelerating counter growth. Combat backup comes from artifact creatures like Kappa Cannoneer, Alibou, Ancient Witness, and Threefold Thunderhulk. The commander provides a 4/8 body with bolster synergy, but the deck's engine functions independently of it.
