Deck overview

This is a Grixis artifact-tempo list built to exploit Mishra's excellent token-copying ability. The deck's main path to victory is to use Mishra's trigger to create a 4/4 artifact creature (a copy of a powerful noncreature artifact, such as a Smelting Vat or Mishra's Bauble) and then turn that extra copy into blowouts with "doubling" effects like Strionic Resonator, untap/precombat cards, and Jack-in-the-Mold equipments. The Shell can win via combat damage from a weaponized board state, or via Mechanized Production (because the deck makes lots of artifact tokens) / Hellkite Tyrant (if you are running a critical mass of artifacts). With only a handful of "competitive" tutors and a tight interaction suite, the deck protects its threats well and has good redundancy.
