Deck overview

This Grixis artifact deck is commanded by Mishra, Eminent One, focusing on generating immense card advantage, board control, and infinite combo finishes by copying noncreature artifacts. The deck curves early acceleration into value artifacts like Ichor Wellspring and Tithing Blade, which Mishra turns into 4/4 Mishra's Warform creatures every combat. This recurring engine provides continuous card draw, creature edicts, and permanent removal. For the endgame, the deck transitions into decisive infinite extra turns using Time Sieve paired with Thopter Assembly or energy chains via Gonti's Aether Heart. Robust artifact tutoring from cards like Whir of Invention and Fabricate provides high consistency, while graveyard recursion from Goblin Welder and Emry, Lurker of the Loch ensures engine resilience. Supported by efficient countermagic and protective ward effects, the deck maintains steady pressure before cleanly closing out the game.
