Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Bant midrange strategy commanded by Sophia, Dogged Detective. The core game plan focuses on generating massive artifact token advantage—Clues, Foods, and Treasures—while growing a team of Dogs and massive artifact-scaling threats. Early turns prioritize dense 1–2 CMC mana rocks and utility creatures to cast Sophia on Turn 4, immediately generating her companion token Tiny. Combat damage from Dogs rapidly investigates and stocks Food, enabling continuous card draw and +1/+1 counter distribution. As the artifact count swells, powerhouse finishers such as The Third Doctor, Bronze Guardian, Broodstar, Nettlecyst, and Thousand Moons Smithy // Barracks of the Thousand create insurmountable combat pressure. Evasive enablers like Whirler Rogue, Lockjaw, Slobbering Teleporter, and Junk Winder bypass blockers to close out the game by Turn 8. Supported by a robust suite of efficient single-target removal, targeted protection, and asymmetric interaction like Desynchronization, the deck blends consistent board growth with high resilience.
