Deck overview

This deck is a Temur artifact token midrange deck commanded by Gimbal, Gremlin Prodigy. Its primary strategy revolves around creating a wide variety of differently named artifact tokens—such as Food, Clues, Treasures, Blood, Thopters, and Servos—to maximize the size of the trample-enabled Gremlin tokens Gimbal produces at each end step. Supported by engine pieces like Academy Manufactor and Tireless Provisioner, the deck steadily builds a massive battlefield presence. Once an extensive token board is established, the deck transitions into a lethal threat using scaling Gremlin stats, flying beaters like Hellkite Igniter, or full-board animation via an overloaded Rise and Shine. The deck features solid mana acceleration and high permanent redundancy, though it relies heavily on combat damage over multiple turn cycles. It carries minimal protection against artifact and creature sweepers, requiring careful sequencing to avoid overextending into opposing board clears.
