Cayth's Blink'n'Burn Machine by user3999627

Format: Commander

Commander: Cayth, Famed Mechanist

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Jeskai token-and-ETB burn deck built around Cayth, Famed Mechanist. Its primary plan is to resolve one or more pinger effects - Impact Tremors, Warleader's Call, Purphoros, Agate Instigator - and then turn every nontoken creature into a fabricate trigger that creates a Servo, because each Servo entering repeats the drain. Blink loops from Thassa, Soulherder, Eerie Interlude, and Conjurer's Closet re-trigger value creatures and Abdel Adrian, whose soldier tokens give the final board. Moonshaker Cavalry is the alternative combat finisher. Abdel acts as a de facto hidden engine, turning a wide nonland permanent count into a swarm. Cayth's populate/proliferate ability is a late-game mana sink that adds more ETB events.
