The deck of surveil by ClassyDabber

Format: Commander

Commander: Golbez, Crystal Collector

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir artifacts-matter value engine helmed by Golbez, Crystal Collector. The plan is to flood the battlefield with cheap artifacts - rocks, artifact lands, Clues, Thopters, and cost reducers - turning every artifact ETB into a surveil, stocking the graveyard for Golbez's end-step recursion and eventually draining each opponent with the returned creature's power. It finishes through repeated recursion of huge artifact bodies like Triplicate Titan, Phyrexian Triniform, and Myr Battlesphere, with Krang, Utrom Warlord acting as a hasty flying/trample/indestructible finisher in the 99. Secondary paths include a Basalt Monolith + Forensic Gadgeteer infinite-mana kill, a Mindslaver + Unwinding Clock lock, and chaotic Timesifter turns. The shell is rounded out by countermagic, graveyard hate, and a dense tutor suite.
