Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Esper artifact-token deck helmed by Soundwave, Sonic Spy // Soundwave, Superior Captain aims to generate a wide board of artifact creature tokens, pump them with anthem effects, and win through combat. The commander provides a value engine: the front side copies instants and sorceries from graveyards when tokens deal combat damage, while the back side creates legendary Robot tokens when casting spells of odd/even mana value. The deck leans heavily on token generators like Alela, Artful Provocateur, Sai, Master Thopterist, and Efficient Construction, supported by anthems such as Tempered Steel and Urza, Prince of Kroog. One-sided board wipes like Organic Extinction and Hour of Reckoning clear opponents' creatures while preserving the artifact army. The primary win condition is overwhelming combat damage; there are no infinite combos.
