Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius Artifact Aggro and Token Swarm strategy commanded by Cid, Timeless Artificer. Exploiting Cid's unique rule allowing any number of copies in the deck, the 99 includes six additional Cids. These copies serve a dual role: they cycle early for {W}{U} to smooth land drops and draw cards while stocking the graveyard with Artificers, which passively pumps every artifact creature and Hero on your battlefield. The deck accelerates through low-cost mana rocks and cost reducers like Etherium Sculptor, Pearl Medallion, and Sapphire Medallion to deploy token engines such as Sai, Master Thopterist, Retrofitter Foundry, and Thopter Spy Network. By Turn 5, an evasive swarm of Thopters and Constructs attacks with massive stat boosts from Cid and secondary anthem effects like Urza, Prince of Kroog and Cyberdrive Awakener. Robust card draw from Skullclamp and Rhystic Study sustains momentum, while Grand Abolisher and Teferi, Time Raveler protect combat turns.
