Deck overview

This mono-black artifact deck is commanded by Szarekh, the Silent King (with Trazyn the Infinite as an alternative leader), focusing on Necron tribal synergies, self-mill, and graveyard reanimation. The deck curves out with standard artifact ramp on the initial turns before deploying Szarekh on Turn 4. Szarekh's attack trigger on Turn 5 fuels the graveyard while securing net card advantage. The strategy transitions into the mid game by utilizing unearth mechanics, token generators like Imotekh the Stormlord, and massive game-swinging sorceries like Living Death and Their Name Is Death. A critical must-answer board state is established around Turn 7, leveraging heavy hitters such as Shard of the Void Dragon, Shard of the Nightbringer, and Cranial Plating to overwhelm opponents with combat damage by Turn 9. While the deck possesses strong internal redundancy and reanimation resilience, it remains susceptible to targeted graveyard hate, artifact sweepers, and noncreature combo strategies.
