Dimir Artifacts, No Proxies by Galaxy487

Format: Commander

Commander: Golbez, Crystal Collector

Bracket: 3

DeckCheck Threat Index: 27

Deck overview

This deck is an artifact-centric midrange and attrition strategy helmed by Golbez, Crystal Collector. The game plan revolves around playing cheap artifacts to trigger Golbez's surveil ability, filling the graveyard with high-power creature threats while establishing board presence. Once the deck controls four artifacts, Golbez provides steady card advantage by recurring creatures each end step. Crossing the eight-artifact threshold turns Golbez into a potent burn engine that drains every opponent for life equal to the returned creature's power. High-impact artifact centerpieces like Myr Battlesphere and Bolas's Citadel provide burst artifact counts and explosive board dominance. The deck backs up this core plan with a versatile suite of Dimir removal, sacrifice edicts, and board wipes like Singularity Rupture and Zero Point Ballad. While vulnerable to mass artifact removal and prolonged table rotations, the deck presents a resilient recursive loop and strong independent backup threats.
