Deck overview

This deck is a mono-blue artifact storm and combo deck commanded by Bilbo, Thief in the Night. Bilbo serves as both a graveyard value engine on attack and a continuous cost reducer for any spell cast from zones other than the hand. The primary game plan revolves around assembling a top-deck casting permanent like Mystic Forge, The Reality Chip, or Fortune Teller's Talent alongside Sensei's Divining Top. Because Bilbo reduces spells cast from the top of the library by {1}, Top can be tapped to draw and recast for {0} mana infinitely, drawing the entire library and generating infinite storm. The deck then deploys Aetherflux Reservoir to gain hundreds of life and laser down all three opponents for 50 damage each on Turn 5. Dense equipment and cheap counterspells protect the setup, while Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Bilbo ensure resilient graveyard recovery.
