Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black artifact aristocrats strategy commanded by Imotekh the Stormlord. The game plan focuses on utilizing self-mill, unearth mechanics, and repeatable recursion loops to trigger Imotekh's ability, churning out armies of 2/2 Necron Warrior tokens whenever artifact cards leave the graveyard. Supported by mana engines like Ashnod's Altar, Krark-Clan Ironworks, and Illuminor Szeras, the deck converts these tokens into mana, card draw through Skullclamp, or direct table-wide life drain via Marionette Apprentice and Syr Konrad, the Grim. While capable of grinding out extensive value and executing lethal combat attacks enhanced by Skorpekh Lord and Cranial Plating, the list remains a classic synergy-driven engine vulnerable to board wipes and dedicated graveyard hate.
