Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius Artifact Control and Combo list commanded by Shorikai, Genesis Engine. The strategy focuses on deploying early artifact ramp to cast Shorikai on Turn 3 or Turn 4. Shorikai acts as a resilient card-advantage engine and token generator that dodges conventional creature board wipes. The deck controls the game using efficient spot removal, versatile countermagic, and asymmetric sweepers like Organic Extinction. It digs through the library to assemble its primary infinite combo: Isochron Scepter imprinting Dramatic Reversal. With nonland mana sources producing three or more mana, this produces infinite mana and untaps, allowing Shorikai to draw the entire deck. The deck closes the game by using Sculpting Steel and Reality Shift to exile every opponent's library, or by overwhelming the table with animated flying artifacts via Cyberdrive Awakener and Parhelion II.
