Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This two-partner Jund list is built around a core of nearly free spells: Rograkh costs literally zero and can enter turn one, while Ikra Shidiqi converts any combat damage into enough life to begin paying for the deck's real engine - Bolas's Citadel. The deck is an artifact-shell storm deck in the loosest sense: it floods the board with low- or zero-cost artifacts, uses affinity/Improvise bodies like Frogmite and Dearsteel Muscles to turn those artifacts into free spells, then finds either Bolas's Citadel or Mystic Forge to chain through its low-curved library. The primary win is not a single two-card infinite; it is a collapsed sequence: resolve and activate the Citadel/life-bank, sacrifice a large permanent shoulder to drain all opponents repeatedly, or finally activate Goblin Charbelcher if the library is aligned. A backup voltron lane to Rograkh exists, but the pilot should understand that the deck is fundamentally a high-velocity, somewhat fragile artifact chain.
