Artificial Hegemony by user2536928

Commander: Sharuum the Hegemon

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Esper artifact deck is helmed by Sharuum the Hegemon, a classic reanimator commander that leverages ETB triggers from high-impact artifacts. The primary game plan is to fill the graveyard through self-mill (Emry, Lurker of the Loch, The Everflowing Well, Frantic Search) and then reuse those pieces with Sharuum's enters-the-battlefield trigger, Dance of the Manse, Open the Vaults, or Emry's activated ability. Win conditions are combat-oriented: a massive board of artifact creatures generated by Sai, Master Thopterist, Simulacrum Synthesizer, Urza, Chief Artificer, and Urza, Lord High Artificer; a life-total swing from Magister Sphinx; or a single large evasive creature wearing Cranial Plating. The deck also packs a robust suite of removal and board wipes, aiming to control the table while it builds an insurmountable artifact presence.
