Deck overview

This deck is a specialized Relentless-style aggro-midrange list centered on 22 copies of Cid, Timeless Artificer and G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn. The strategy cycles surplus copies of Cid in the early turns for {W}{U}, sculpting the hand while filling the graveyard with Artificer cards. G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn converts noncreature spells into large Hero tokens, which benefit directly from Cid's static pump. In addition, global type-granting cards like Arcane Adaptation, Leyline of Transformation, and Maskwood Nexus turn all your creatures into Heroes and Artificers, enabling immense scaling power. Artifact support cards like Urza, Lord High Artificer, Bronze Guardian, and Thrumming Stone accelerate board state deployment and ripple through Cids to create lethal combat waves. While vulnerable to mass graveyard exile and sweeper spells, the extreme density of Cids gives the deck exceptional resilience against spot removal and standard board wipes.
