Deck overview

This deck is a Jeskai artifact engine built around Tetzin, Gnome Champion and double-faced craft cards from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan. The deck leverages low-cost mana rocks, cost-reducers, and double-faced artifacts to fill the board and graveyard with material. Tetzin provides consistent card selection on entry and whenever double-faced artifacts enter. Once six artifacts are available in the graveyard or on the battlefield, Tetzin crafts into The Golden-Gear Colossus, creating Gnome tokens and transforming high-impact artifacts like Thousand Moons Smithy and Master's Guide-Mural for free on attack. The deck closes games through wide combat damage buffed by Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut, direct damage from Alibou, Ancient Witness, or alternate win conditions such as Hellkite Tyrant and Mirrodin Besieged. Its strengths lie in rapid value generation and resilient graveyard-fueled recovery, balanced by vulnerability to artifact sweepers and limited instant-speed interaction.
