Deck overview

Lara Croft, Tomb Raider leads a high-velocity Temur artifacts deck that turns treasure generation, legendary artifacts, and graveyard recursion into an overwhelming board presence. The deck rapidly ramps in the early turns using efficient mana rocks and land tutors, deploying Lara Croft by Turn 3 to begin attacking on Turn 4. Each attack reclaims key legendary artifacts and lands from the graveyard while generating Treasure tokens on Raid. A dense suite of token doublers, artifact cost-reducers, and artificers—such as Academy Manufactor, Etherium Sculptor, and Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain—fuels continuous card draw and mana acceleration. The deck transitions into a lethal threat around Turn 6 by animating its artifact tokens with Cyberdrive Awakener, burning the table with Ingenious Artillerist, or setting up alternate win conditions with Hellkite Tyrant and Mechanized Production. Robust protection equipment and targeted counterspells shield the commander, while recursive engines ensure swift recovery from board sweepers.
