Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black artifact reanimator and aristocrats engine built around Imotekh the Stormlord. The primary strategy focuses on cycling artifact creatures in and out of the graveyard to generate an army of 2/2 Necron Warrior tokens while accumulating mana and card advantage. Key sacrifice outlets such as Ashnod's Altar and Illuminor Szeras convert tokens and recurring creatures into heavy mana acceleration. The primary win condition is an infinite loop involving Ashnod's Altar, Nim Deathmantle, Imotekh the Stormlord, and any nontoken artifact creature, producing infinite mana, infinite tokens, and lethal drain via Marionette Master, Psychomancer, or Agent of the Iron Throne. When combo lines are unavailable, the deck pivots into mass reanimation with Living Death or wide token combat supported by menace-granting lords like Skorpekh Lord. Its primary limitations are a lack of instant-speed spot removal and high reliance on graveyard access.
