Can't Kill the Metal... by Gispachio

Format: Commander

Commander: Ovika, Enigma Goliath

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ovika, Enigma Goliath is the deck's engine: ramp to seven mana, cast Ovika, then chain noncreature spells to create huge hordes of hasty Phyrexian Goblin tokens. The primary plan is token-combat, with Shared Animosity and Impact Tremors / Mechanized Warfare turning each cast into a threat. Secondary paths clone Ovika with Irenicus's Vile Duplication or Echocasting Symposium to double triggers, or use convoke burn like Explosive Singularity and Soul Immolation once the board is large. Artifact synergies from Efficient Construction, Simulacrum Synthesizer, and Pinnacle Emissary add backup attackers. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built almost entirely around Ovika's cast trigger.
