Deck overview

This is a Boros artifact-tribal deck built around The Jolly Balloon Man, who creates flying, hasty 1/1 copies of your other creatures. The deck leans heavily on the modular creature family-over a dozen Arcbound creatures-to generate an army of +1/+1 counter-carrying threats. Proliferate effects (Throne of Geth, Metastatic Evangel, Volt Charge) spread counters across the board, while a dense artifact recursion suite (Scrap Trawler, Myr Retriever, Daretti, Scrap Savant) ensures the engine can rebuild after disruption. The primary win condition is combat damage, often amplified by Tempered Steel or Makeshift Munitions for direct reach. The deck is a grindy midrange value pile that overwhelms opponents through incremental advantage rather than a single explosive turn.
