Deck overview

This Azorius typal aggressive deck leverages the unrestricted copy count of Cid, Timeless Artificer to turn a density of Artificers in play and in the graveyard into massive static buffs. Early turns focus on cycling duplicate Cids for {W}{U} to draw cards while fueling the graveyard count, simultaneously casting low-cost Job Select Equipment like Dragoon's Lance and Dancer's Chakrams that generate 1/1 Hero tokens upon entry. Once commander Cid, Timeless Artificer enters on turn 4 or 5, every Hero and artifact creature receives a scaling +1/+1 buff per Artificer, transforming modest tokens and unblockable attackers like Wraith, Vicious Vigilante into lethal combat threats. The deck maintains steady momentum with draw engines like Thopter Spy Network and Key to the Side-Door, backing up its fair combat strategy with targeted removal and counterspells while threatening to finish games through overwhelming combat damage over turns 6 to 9.
