Deck overview

This Mardu deck utilizes Vihaan, Goldwaker to convert accumulated Treasure tokens into an aggressive army of 3/3 Construct Assassin artifact creatures with haste and vigilance. Built under a strict creative constraint centered around wealth, commerce, and currency, the list leverages dense lower-curve Treasure generators such as Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff, Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, and Smothering Tithe to flood the battlefield with artifact tokens. Once Vihaan enters the battlefield on Turn 4, every Treasure doubles as both a mana source and a combat threat. The primary game plan scales toward Turn 6, where 8 or more animated Treasures swing for 24+ damage, systematically eliminating opponents over three combat steps by Turn 8. Alternative victory paths include the upkeep trigger on Revel in Riches or direct burn through Alchemist's Talent. While the deck features robust mana acceleration and rapid engine recovery from the command zone, its reliance on combat damage and minimal plan shielding leaves its token army vulnerable to board wipes.
