Into the trash, out of the trash, into the dumpster by Galbortrix

Deck overview

The deck uses Noctis, Prince of Lucis to cast artifacts from the graveyard while paying three life, then turns repeated artifact casts into life through Aetherflux Reservoir. Cost reducers such as Etherium Sculptor and Foundry Inspector, artifact tutors, and recursion support this plan. The deck also has a reasonable control shell: counterspells, creature removal, sweepers, and a few protection effects. Its main limitation is joint access. It must find the commander, the Reservoir, enough artifacts, and enough mana while managing life payments. Shorikai, Genesis Engine, The One Ring, and Windfall provide useful card flow, but they are not guaranteed at the primary checkpoint. Time Sieve is a strong value card in a developed artifact board, not a supported infinite-turn combo here. The deck is therefore a fair, interactive artifact engine with a late and exposed finisher rather than a competitive combo deck.
