Deck overview

This colorless artifact deck is led by Karn, Legacy Reforged, focusing on accelerating mana through low-cost artifacts and using Karn's upkeep trigger as a massive mana multiplier. The deck quickly builds a dense board of rocks such as Sol Ring, Mind Stone, and Basalt Monolith on the first three turns. On Turn 4, casting Karn sets up an explosive Turn 5 upkeep, generating 5 to 8 or more colorless mana that remains available throughout the turn. This mana funds game-ending threats including Darksteel Colossus, Triplicate Titan, Echoes of Eternity, and Darksteel Forge. The deck applies overwhelming combat pressure across consecutive turns or resolves a one-sided wipe with All Is Dust. It also contains an infinite mana combo via Forsaken Monument and Basalt Monolith, which can be funneled into Staff of Domination to draw the library and close the game.
