Deck overview

This mono-blue artifact deck is led by Leonardo da Vinci, who operates as both an efficient graveyard reanimation outlet and a lethal team pump. The deck's primary game plan is to deploy cheap ramp and artifact engines in the early turns, cast Leonardo on Turn 3, and begin discarding high-impact artifact bombs to create 0/2 flying Thopter copies of them on Turn 4. From there, the list accumulates artifact tokens through cards like Thopter Spy Network, Sharding Sphinx, and Myr Battlesphere. Once a critical mass of tokens is assembled, the deck closes out the game on Turns 6 to 8 using Leonardo's {3}{U}{U} ability to set all Thopters' base power and toughness equal to your hand size, or by dropping Graaz, Unstoppable Juggernaut. Supported by protective staples like Darksteel Forge and Padeem, Consul of Innovation, the deck delivers steady combat pressure and resilient board presence.
