Deck overview

This is a Mardu artifact-velocity deck built around both faces of Megatron, Tyrant // Megatron, Destructive Force. It spends the early game ramping with cheap artifacts and mana rocks, then deploys Megatron's front side to attack under a combat spell-lock and convert at postcombat to bank colorless mana proportional to damage dealt that turn. From there, it floods the battlefield and graveyard with high-mana-value artifacts like Triplicate Titan, Myr Battlesphere, Spine of Ish Sah, and Su-Chi Cave Guard, then uses Megatron's Vehicle face to sacrifice them to its attack trigger, sending damage through blockers and into opponents via excess damage. The primary finish is a mass-reanimation turn with Wake the Past, returning the artifact suite with haste, backed up by Imskir Iron-Eater and Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen as repeatable sacrifice outlets and Exsanguinate as a mana-sink closer. Consistent with a strict budget build, it leans on redundancy and raw artifact mass rather than premium tutors, counterspells, or free interaction.
