Deck overview

This Gruul artifact combo deck leverages Meria, Scholar of Antiquity to transform cheap nontoken artifacts into powerful ramp and impulsive card advantage. By playing low-cost equipment, zero-mana artifacts, and utility permanents, you quickly generate green mana and dig through the library for game-ending engines. The primary path to victory involves creating infinite mana by equipping Sword of the Paruns to power-scaled mana dorks like Cradle Clearcutter or Doc Samson, Super Psychiatrist, then channeling that mana through burn outlets such as Reckless Fireweaver, Ghirapur Aether Grid, or Makeshift Munitions. Alternatively, wide artifact boards can overrun tables using Agatha of the Vile Cauldron or Lodestone Myr.
