Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius artifact midrange and combo list commanded by Shorikai, Genesis Engine. The primary game plan utilizes Shorikai from the command zone as an untouchable non-creature value engine, consistently filtering cards and producing Pilot tokens while ramping with cost-reducers and artifact mana. The deck can close games explosively through a two-card infinite damage combo featuring Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista, or through overwhelming wide-board combat animations using Cyberdrive Awakener, Rise and Shine, and Tezzeret the Seeker. Supported by robust interaction, asymmetric sweepers like Organic Extinction, and graveyard recursion spells like Dance of the Manse, the deck maintains resilience against removal while threatening decisive finishes.
