Deck overview

This Azorius artifact deck harnesses Mendicant Core, Guidelight alongside copy engines and token multipliers to generate a massive, scalable board of artifact creatures. In the early turns, it deploys efficient cost reducers such as Etherium Sculptor and Artificer Class to accelerate mana and advance speed counters through evasive attackers like Gingerbrute and Ruin-Lurker Bat. By Turn 4, the deck establishes core engines like Simulacrum Synthesizer, Ultron, Artificial Malevolence, or Mondrak, Glory Dominus. It triggers explosive token generation on Turn 5, creating multiple 7/7+ Construct tokens while buffing scaling beaters like Master of Etherium and Bronze Guardian. The deck executes a two-turn combat clock, eliminating the primary threat on Turn 6 and closing out the remaining opponents on Turn 7. Robust protection spells like Teferi's Protection and Galadriel's Dismissal shield the board against board wipes.
