Deck overview

This Jeskai deck is an artifact-based spellslinger list commanded by Vraska, Soul of Stone. The core strategy revolves around casting cheap noncreature spells and artifacts to trigger Vraska, generating a massive army of 1/1 Sculpture Treasure tokens that have vigilance and can sacrifice for mana. These tokens provide immense resource velocity, fueling card-draw engines like Skullclamp and massive mana generation through Urza, Lord High Artificer. The deck transitions into a lethal threat by overrunning opponents with an overloaded Rise and Shine, burning players with Alibou, Ancient Witness, or creating scaling beaters such as Big Mother Mouser and Machinesmith Automaton. While highly resilient to targeted removal thanks to redundant token generators like Saheeli, Jewel of Avishkar, the strategy is vulnerable to sweepers that exile or destroy all artifacts.
