Deck overview

This is a mono-blue artifact-token deck helmed by Sai, Master Thopterist, built around the classic engine of casting cheap artifacts to generate a swarm of Thopter tokens. Every artifact spell creates a 1/1 flying Thopter, and those tokens feed Sai's activated ability to convert excess artifacts into cards. The deck layers multiple redundant Thopter-makers - Thopter Spy Network, Efficient Construction, Tezzeret, Artifice Master, and Stridehangar Automaton - alongside a deep draw suite of Riddlesmith, Rook Turret, Akal Pakal, First Among Equals, and Unctus, Grand Metatect. The win is primarily combat: buffed Thopters under Master of Etherium, Chief of the Foundry, Banner of Kinship, or Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut, with Strixhaven Stadium as an alternate kill. Kuldotha Forgemaster and Whir of Invention provide artifact tutoring, while Urza, Lord High Artificer and Grand Architect turn the token board into massive mana.
