Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Rakdos artifact combo and sacrifice engine led by Imskir Iron-Eater. The game plan focuses on deploying cheap artifacts and artifact lands early to accelerate mana and enable Imskir's affinity cost reduction. Once deployed, Imskir refills the hand by drawing cards proportional to your artifact count, providing the resources needed to assemble game-ending combos. The primary win conditions revolve around Bolas's Citadel paired with Sensei's Divining Top and Aetherflux Reservoir, or infinite mana and recursion loops using Krark-Clan Ironworks, Scrap Trawler, and Myr Retriever to trigger drain effects like Disciple of the Vault, Marionette Apprentice, and Mayhem Devil. If combos are disrupted, the deck leverages deep graveyard recursion with Goblin Welder and Scrap Mastery, or uses Imskir's activated ability to fling high-cost artifacts directly at opponents' life totals for lethal burst damage.
