Deck overview

This mono-blue artifact deck uses Sai, Master Thopterist to convert cheap artifacts into a swarm of 1/1 flying Thopters and steady card draw. Dense early ramp and cost reducers like Etherium Sculptor and Mind Stone accelerate Sai onto the battlefield by Turn 3. The deck quickly establishes strong card velocity through engines such as Skullclamp, Vedalken Archmage, and The Reality Chip. On Turn 6, the deck converts wide board states into game-ending pressure using mass-animation and pump effects like Cyberdrive Awakener, Master of Etherium, or March of Progress. Efficient low-cost countermagic and spot removal protect the setup against sweepers while disrupting faster opposing threats.
