Deck overview

This mono-blue artifact deck is led by Bilbo, Thief in the Night, focusing on cost reduction, continuous card advantage, and graveyard recursion. The deck establishes early mana velocity through cheap artifact ramp like Sol Ring, Fellwar Stone, and Etherium Sculptor, setting up Bilbo alongside support engines such as Sai, Master Thopterist and The Reality Chip. Once assembled, the deck leverages top-deck manipulation via Mystic Forge and Bilbo's attack triggers to continuously deploy artifacts from exile, library, and the graveyard at discounted costs. Victory is achieved through compounding combat pressure rather than infinite loops. Heavy threats like Kappa Cannoneer, Urza, Lord High Artificer's Construct tokens, and Auton Soldier copying key beaters deal lethal damage across several turns, heavily supported by unblockability enablers like Bilbo's Ring and Key to the City. Reactive protection from Padeem, Consul of Innovation, Swan Song, and an overloaded Cyclonic Rift help defend the board and close out the game.
