Deck overview

This deck is commanded by Sai, Master Thopterist, piloting a classic mono-blue artifact tokens and affinity strategy. The game plan focuses on establishing Sai early, then chaining cheap artifacts, mana rocks, and utility baubles to build a wide swarm of 1/1 flying Thopters. These tokens provide incidental aerial defense while serving as fuel for Sai's card-draw engine. As the board fills with colorless permanents, the deck transitions into the midgame using massive affinity beaters like Broodstar and Kappa Cannoneer, or team-wide anthems like Master of Etherium, Forsaken Monument, and Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut. While the deck lacks fast combo finishes and competitive tutors, it compensates with high resilience, consistent card flow through Vedalken Archmage and Shimmer Dragon, and a devastating asymmetric board clear in All Is Dust.
