Deck overview

This is a mono-black artifact-engine deck built around Anrakyr the Traveller as a combat-based cheat engine. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard, attack with Anrakyr, and pay life to cast large artifacts such as Shard of the Nightbringer, Necron Monolith, and Portal to Phyrexia from the graveyard. Secondary paths combine mana doubling from Cabal Coffers and Urborg with token generators like Their Number Is Legion and Royal Warden to overwhelm opponents in one massive combat. Bolas's Citadel offers card advantage and a potential sacrifice finisher. Trazyn the Infinite acts as a hidden toolbox, borrowing activated abilities from artifact cards in the graveyard. The deck wins through recursion, artifact tokens, and repeated commander-triggered casts.
