Duck and Nod: Salvage Academy by H3rr0n

Format: Commander

Commander: Ashnod the Uncaring

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Grixis artifact-combo deck built around sacrificing artifacts for profit and converting those sacrifices into loops. Ashnod the Uncaring is a force-multiplier rather than a required engine: her ability doubles the value of sacrifice-cost activated abilities like Grinding Station, Time Sieve, and Retrofitter Foundry, but the deck's real plan lives in the 99. The primary kill is Underworld Breach + Grinding Station + Mishra's Bauble, looping the Bauble out of the graveyard to mill repeatedly while Marionette Apprentice, Weapons Manufacturing, or Sai, Master Thopterist converts each cycle into damage or Thopters. A second family of loops uses Krark-Clan Ironworks with Scrap Trawler and the retriever trio to generate infinite mana and storm, and Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top can draw the library to find the kill. The deck is a tutor-dense, graveyard-centric combo shell with a thin defensive suite.
