Overview:

This Osgir, the Reconstructor deck focuses on artifact recursion and value generation, using the commander's ability to create token copies of key artifacts from the graveyard. The strategy revolves around sacrificing/recurring artifacts for incremental advantages, building toward overwhelming board states with high-value artifacts like Triplicate Titan or alternative wincons like Hellkite Tyrant. While lacking infinite combos, it demonstrates moderate synergy and a clear gameplan centered around artifact synergies.

Primer:

Core Strategy:
This deck leverages Osgir's ability to double impactful artifacts from the graveyard (e.g., Meteor Golem, Hedron Archive) while using artifact sacrifice/recurrence engines (Scrap Trawler, Daretti, Scrap Savant) to maintain value. Key phases:

1. Setup: Ramp with artifact mana sources (Sol Ring, Mind Stone) and stock the graveyard via looting (Faithless Looting) or self-sacrifice (Ichor Wellspring).
2. Value Engine: Use Osgir to duplicate key artifacts, generating card advantage (Hedron Archive tokens) or removal (double Meteor Golem triggers).
3. Win Conditions: Overwhelm with scaled artifact creatures (Bronze Guardian, Hellkite Igniter), steal artifacts via Hellkite Tyrant, or swing with massive tokens from Triplicate Titan.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3+ lands including artifact mana sources
• Prioritize early graveyard fillers (Pilgrim's Eye, Burnished Hart)
• Avoid hands without artifact recursion or sac outlets

Key Tips:

• Time Osgir activations post-wipes for maximum value
• Use Cursed Mirror to copy opponents' threats temporarily
• Thousand-Year Elixir enables multiple Osgir activations per turn
• Wake the Past serves as a late-game bomb

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Vulnerable to graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void)
• Artifact mass removal (Vandalblast, Bane of Progress)

Moderate:

• Slow recovery from board wipes
• Limited protection for key pieces

Minor:

• Some enters-tapped lands slow early game

Most Important Cards:

• Scrap Trawler
• Sun Titan
• Hellkite Tyrant
• Triplicate Titan
• Wake the Past
• Hedron Archive
• Steel Overseer
• Daretti, Scrap Savant
• Burnished Hart
• Faithless Looting

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 5/10

• No fast combos; relies on incremental value. Earliest impactful plays T4-5 (Osgir + activation), wins typically T8-10 through combat.

Resilience: 6/10

• Multiple recursion engines (Sun Titan, Scrap Trawler) mitigate single removals, but fold to sustained graveyard hate. Can operate without Osgir through secondary value pieces.

Consistency: 6/10

• Moderate card draw and artifact tutoring (Pilgrim's Eye, Archaeomancer's Map), but lacks high-density tutors. Key effects have 2-3 redundancies.

Interaction: 5/10

• Contains targeted removal (Rip Apart, Return to Dust) and board wipes (Cleansing Nova), but limited instant-speed interaction and no free protection spells.

Rating Justification:

This deck sits between Focused Casual (5.0) and Optimized Casual (5.5) on the rubric. It has clear synergies and multiple paths to victory but lacks:

• Fast mana beyond basics
• Game-ending infinite combos
• Robust protection suite

While stronger than precons due to artifact recursion engines, it's slower than T8-10 optimized decks. The ability to generate explosive value turns with Wake the Past or Hellkite Tyrant pushes it above average casual builds.

Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
