Ratchet Life Gain by user3913313

Format: Commander

Commander: Ratchet, Field Medic // Ratchet, Rescue Racer

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

A mono-white artifact value deck built around Ratchet, Field Medic's life-gain-triggered recursion. The primary plan is to play cheap artifacts, mill or loot into the graveyard, and use life-gain outlets to convert Ratchet, returning artifact cards like Wurmcoil Engine or Phyrexian Triniform. The Rescue Racer back face helps the loop by flipping back when artifacts die. Secondary paths are mass recursion with Open the Vaults/Redress Fate and a wide token/beatdown finish powered by Thousand Moons Smithy, Tempered Steel, and Porcelain Gallery. There is no infinite combo; the deck wins through repeated value, board-wide pumps, and combat. Aetherflux Reservoir is a one-shot lifegain payoff, not a dedicated combo line.
