Deck overview

This mono-blue artifact deck is led by Sai, Master Thopterist, focusing on casting low-cost artifacts to generate an overwhelming army of 1/1 flying Thopter creature tokens. The deck pairs cost reducers such as Etherium Sculptor and Foundry Inspector with consistent card advantage engines like Shimmer Dragon, Thopter Spy Network, and Sai's sacrifice ability to maintain high resource velocity. Once a solid board presence is established, it leverages powerful anthem effects and artifact-scaling threats—including Master of Etherium, Forsaken Monument, Kappa Cannoneer, and Nettlecyst—to deliver lethal evasive combat damage across the table. Protective tools such as Padeem, Consul of Innovation and select countermagic shield the engine, while All Is Dust serves as an asymmetric board reset.
