Golbez by Rantosaurus

Format: Commander

Commander: Golbez, Crystal Collector

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Golbez, Crystal Collector drives a blue-black artifact-value deck. Its primary plan is to flood the board with cheap artifacts, use their enter-the-battlefield surveil triggers to bin high-power artifact creatures, then let Golbez return those creatures at end step and drain opponents by their power once eight artifacts are online. Secondary wins come from Psychosis Crawler with the deck's many draw triggers, a large Cranial Plating attack, and a Basalt Monolith + Forensic Gadgeteer infinite-mana line that powers the equipment finish. Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator is not a hidden commander; he is a supporting value piece. The deck is mid-speed, resilient in card advantage, but artifact-hate vulnerable.
