Deck overview

This Esper deck is an artifact creature go-wide aggro build centered around The Borg Queen. The primary strategy focuses on assembling a wide board of low-cost Borg artifact creatures and tokens using engines like Conquest Mission, Maturation Chamber, and Assembly Specialist, accelerated by efficient 2-mana artifact ramp. On turn 6, casting The Borg Queen provides an immediate +2/+2 anthem across the entire board while stealing and buffing opposing creatures via the assimilate mechanic. The deck looks to close the game through overwhelming combat damage, supplemented by keyword granters like Primary Unimatrix Adjunct and One, Borg Evolved. Interaction consists of premium spot exile and asymmetric sweepers such as Battle of Wolf 359, though the deck lacks countermagic and tutors.
