Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Simic artifact-token combo deck built around Lonis, Cryptozoologist, turning every nontoken creature into an investigation trigger. The primary plan is to flood the board with Clues through ETB synergies and token doublers, then use Lonis's activated ability to steal permanents and finish with mass-animation effects like Cyberdrive Awakener or Rise and Shine. The cleanest engine is Deadeye Navigator plus Peregrine Drake, which with Lonis creates infinite mana and infinite Clues; those Clues draw the deck and also serve as a combo payoff through artifact animation. Secondary paths include midrange artifact beatdown, Mechanized Production, and value from Urza, Lord High Artificer and Shimmer Dragon.
