Deck overview

This deck is a Jeskai artifact midrange engine commanded by Tetzin, Gnome Champion. The strategy revolves around deploying double-faced artifacts, milling cards into the graveyard, and transforming Tetzin into The Golden-Gear Colossus via the Craft mechanic. Once transformed, the Colossus generates Gnome tokens and bypasses transform costs on powerful double-faced permanents like Thousand Moons Smithy, Braided Net, and Master's Guide-Mural. Card advantage is sustained through Tetzin's entry triggers, Losheel, Clockwork Scholar, and transformed draw artifacts like Braided Quipu. Win conditions focus on wide combat swarms amplified by Illustrious Wanderglyph, Urza, Prince of Kroog, and mass reanimation via Wake the Past. While the deck possesses explosive midgame token production and strong graveyard synergy, its reliance on combat damage and sorcery-speed Craft actions leaves it vulnerable to mass exile sweepers and graveyard hate.
