Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Boros artifact stompy deck led by Sami, Wildcat Captain. The game plan focuses on deploying cheap artifact mana acceleration during the early turns to cast Sami on Turn 4. Once Sami resolves, she gives every spell affinity for artifacts, drastically reducing the cost of high-mana colorless and artifact threats. On Turn 5, the deck floods the board with game-ending threats such as Craterclaw Colossus, Blightsteel Colossus, and Cityscape Leveler, granting them haste via cards like Akroma's Memorial or Hammer of Purphoros. The deck closes out the game through overwhelming combat damage across two turns. It protects its investment using premium phase-out and indestructible spells like Teferi's Protection and Flawless Maneuver, while mass graveyard recursion spells ensure late-game staying power against sweepers.
