Deck overview

This mono-blue control deck leverages an artifact-heavy mana base to deploy and activate its commander, Memnarch, aiming to dominate the board through permanent theft and resource denial. The early game focuses on establishing mana velocity using cost reducers like Etherium Sculptor, dorks like Vedalken Engineer, and mana multipliers like Grand Architect. Once sufficient mana is online, Memnarch enters the battlefield to convert and steal opposing commanders, key engines, and lands. The deck reinforces this oppressive game plan with asymmetric disruption, including Lodestone Golem taxes and the lethal synergy between March of the Machines and artifact-type granting effects like Myr Landshaper. If Memnarch is removed or heavily taxed, the deck pivots into an aggressive backup beatdown plan led by Master of Etherium, Darksteel Juggernaut, and swarms of flying tokens from Sai, Master Thopterist.
