Deck overview

This Azorius artifact deck utilizes Mendicant Core, Guidelight as an efficient scaling threat and late-game spell duplicator while executing a potent artifact combo engine. The primary path to victory loops Krark-Clan Ironworks with Scrap Trawler and Myr Retriever, recycling cheap artifacts to generate infinite colorless mana and lethal damage through Walking Ballista. Alternatively, the deck amasses overwhelming board presence using token generators like Sai, Master Thopterist and Efficient Construction, closing out games with unblockable strikes from Kappa Cannoneer or high-impact beatdown from Krang, Utrom Warlord. Robust countermagic, hexproof layers, and indestructible effects protect the engine until assembly is complete.
