Deck overview

This is a casual Boros artifact and Food deck centered on Ragost, Deft Gastronaut. The commander turns every artifact into a Food and can sacrifice one for 3 damage to each opponent. Life gain, especially from Leonin Elder, can untap Ragost at the end step and support repeated turns of pressure. The strongest supporting plan uses Loyal Apprentice, Academy Manufactor, Reckless Fireweaver, Ingenious Artillerist, and Arbaaz Mir to turn artifact entries into additional damage and life. The deck also has a useful sacrifice-and-recovery theme through Daretti, Scrap Savant, Junk Diver, Sevinne's Reclamation, and Wake the Past. Its main limits are slow and tapped mana, limited tutoring, little protection, and no compact finish. It can build a wide value board and pressure the table, but it does not reliably convert that board into a lethal or locked game.
