Overview:

A midrange Energy-focused deck that uses energy counters to generate value through token copies and various payoffs, combining artifact synergies with energy generation to create a flexible value engine.

Primer:

The deck revolves around generating energy counters through various means, primarily through casting artifacts and artificers, which triggers Saheeli, Radiant Creator's ability. The energy economy is then used to create powerful token copies of permanents or fuel various other energy payoffs. The deck includes several artifact synergies that provide additional value streams through card draw and token generation.

The primary gameplan involves establishing an energy engine early through cards like Servant of the Conduit and Whirler Virtuoso, then leveraging that energy for value through Saheeli's copy ability or other payoffs like Aetherworks Marvel. The deck can pivot between aggressive strategies with token armies and controlling gameplay through interaction and value generation. Multiple artifact-based value engines provide sustainability in longer games.

Weaknesses:

• Heavily reliant on maintaining energy counters, making it vulnerable to player removal or bounce effects that reset energy accumulation
• Limited board wipe recovery options beyond artifact recursion
• Moderate vulnerability to artifact hate, which can disrupt both the energy and artifact synergies
• Can struggle against faster combo decks due to its midrange nature

Most Important Cards:

1. Aetherworks Marvel
2. Whirler Virtuoso
3. Panharmonicon
4. Thopter Spy Network
5. Izzet Generatorium
6. Aether Refinery
7. Lightning Runner
8. Torrential Gearhulk
9. Conjurer's Closet
10. Thassa, Deep-Dwelling

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 5/10
• Resilience: 6/10
• Consistency: 7/10
• Interaction: 6/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual power level, consistently executing its strategy around turns 8-10. While it has strong value engines and interaction, it lacks the explosive plays or fast mana needed for higher power levels. The deck's reliance on building up energy counters and establishing artifact synergies places it firmly in the 5.0-5.5 range, as it can create powerful board states but typically needs time to set up.

Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5

The deck demonstrates solid synergies and a clear gameplan but operates at a pace more suited to casual tables. It has multiple paths to victory and good interaction, but its reliance on building up resources over time keeps it from reaching higher power levels. The mana base is well-constructed for a three-color deck, with appropriate fixing and utility lands, though it could be optimized further with more efficient options.
