Deck overview

This is a high-power Dimir artifact combo deck helmed by Golbez, Crystal Collector. The plan floods the board with cheap artifacts, leverages affinity and cost reduction, then converts that density into infinite mana, extra turns, or direct life drain. Golbez, Crystal Collector surveils on every artifact ETB, recurs a creature once you hit four artifacts, and drains the table for that creature's power at eight-plus artifacts-turning bodies like Phyrexian Dreadnought or Master of Etherium into finishers. Primary wins are compact artifact combos (Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal, Time Sieve loops, Grinding Station engines) with Walking Ballista, Aetherflux Reservoir, and Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge as outlets. The deck is tutor-dense, mana-efficient, and largely self-sufficient in the 99, with Golbez acting as a value and recursion engine rather than a hard combo piece.
