Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius artifact combo strategy commanded by Shorikai, Genesis Engine. The primary game plan accelerates into an early Turn 3 Shorikai to establish card advantage and pilot token generation from the command zone. The deck leverages dense artifact tutoring to assemble the infinite combo of Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal. With nonland mana sources generating at least three mana, this loop produces infinite mana, untaps Shorikai to draw the entire library, and wins immediately by casting a lethal Walking Ballista. Secondary paths utilize Urza, Lord High Artificer, Mystic Forge storm lines with Aetherflux Reservoir, or vehicle combat pressure through Kappa Cannoneer and Parhelion II. A suite of low-cost counterspells and proactive protection pieces like Grand Abolisher and Defense Grid shields the combo from opposing interaction.
