Deck overview

This deck executes a Boros artifact and Food synergy strategy led by Ragost, Deft Gastronaut. Ragost turns all artifacts into Foods, granting life-gain utility while transforming spare artifact tokens into repeatable, table-wide 3-damage burn triggers. The list features dense token generation through Nuka-Cola Vending Machine, Academy Manufactor, and Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, converting everyday artifact production into direct damage and card flow. Seven Fallout Bobbleheads provide stable color fixing and mid-game utility. Defensively, pillowfort elements like Ghostly Prison and Silent Arbiter slow aggressive opponents, while sweepers like Organic Extinction clear opposing boards while preserving your artifact army. The primary route grinds down life totals through recurring end-step untaps and burn activations by Turn 8, with an incidental infinite combo in Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista available to close games on the spot.
