Deck overview

This deck is an artifact reanimation and control deck commanded by Daretti, Scrap Savant. The game plan focuses on discarding high-cost, high-impact artifacts into the graveyard and cheating them onto the battlefield ahead of curve using Daretti's loyalty abilities and cards like Goblin Welder or Trash for Treasure. Early turns prioritize deploying mana acceleration and rummaging through the library with spells like Faithless Looting. By Turn 4 or 5, the deck establishes a dominant board presence by reanimating devastating threats such as Portal to Phyrexia, Triplicate Titan, or Darksteel Forge. These cards cripple opposing boards through continuous sacrifice triggers and sweepers like Nevinyrral's Disk. The deck closes games by overwhelming opponents with large artifact creature tokens and recurring combat damage across two attack cycles. While vulnerable to targeted graveyard hate and early planeswalker aggression, strong redundancy and secondary reanimation engines provide reliable recovery and persistent mid-game inevitability.
