Overview:

This Jeskai artifacts deck revolves around Liberty Prime as a central threat and energy generator, leveraging artifact synergy for value, token generation, and win conditions. The strategy focuses on deploying artifacts to generate energy, create robot tokens, and enable explosive turns with cards like Wake the Past or Mechanized Production. Liberty Prime acts as both a finisher and engine, demanding energy upkeep but offering card draw and board presence. Key themes include artifact recursion, energy manipulation, and token swarming, with backup combos like Shaun, Father of Synths cloning Liberty Prime for massive damage.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-4): Prioritize mana rocks (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Talisman of Progress) and utility artifacts (Wayfarer's Bauble, Mind Stone). Deploy energy generators like Assaultron Dominator or Automated Assembly Line. Use enters-tapped lands cautiously.
2. Board Development (Turns 3-6): Cast commanders or key engines: Liberty Prime (ensure energy backup), The Prydwen for token generation, or Curie for value. Leverage Panharmonicon to double ETB triggers (e.g., Solemn Simulacrum, Whirler Rogue). Generate energy via attacks or abilities to fuel payoffs.
3. Win Condition Execution (Turns 6+):
   • Combat/Tokens: Overwhelm with The Prydwen tokens boosted by Brotherhood Scribe, Steel Overseer, or Sentinel Sarah Lyons. Liberty Prime provides trampling commander damage.
   • Combo/Alt-Win: Clone Liberty Prime with Shaun, Father of Synths for multiple lethal attackers. Win via Mechanized Production on a token generator. Recur artifacts en masse with Wake the Past for a hasty alpha strike.
   • Value Grind: Use Rex, Cyber-Hound to exile key abilities or Mystic Forge for card advantage.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3+ lands, including untapped sources. Prioritize at least 1 early ramp artifact.
• Ensure energy generation (e.g., Assaultron Dominator, Sentry Bot) or token producers (Automated Assembly Line, Whirler Rogue).
• Include interaction (Swords to Plowshares, Dovin's Veto) if facing aggressive metas.
• Avoid hands lacking artifacts or energy payoffs.

Key Tips:

• Manage Energy: Use Liberty Prime’s sacrifice ability to convert expendable artifacts into energy/cards. Prioritize T-45 Power Armor or Plasma Caster for combat boosts.
• Protect Engines: Lightning Greaves shields Liberty Prime or Curie. Elder Owyn Lyons recurs key artifacts.
• Maximize Synergy: Panharmonicon doubles ETBs from Solemn Simulacrum, Whirler Rogue, and Nick Valentine. Buried Ruin/Loran, Disciple of History recover combo pieces.
• Timing Is Critical: Cast Wake the Past post-wipe for instant board rebuild. Use Electrosiphon to counter high-MV spells for energy bursts.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Artifact Wipes: Austere Command/Vandalblast cripple the deck’s board and energy economy. Limited mass recursion beyond Wake the Past.
• Anti-Synergy Stax: Stony Silence/Collector Ouphe disable mana rocks, energy generation, and key abilities.
• Commander Reliance: Repeated removal of Liberty Prime makes recast costs prohibitive, stalling the engine.

Moderate

• Graveyard Hate: Rest in Peace/Leyline of the Void disrupt Wake the Past, Buried Ruin, and Loran.
• Token Control: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite/Cursed Totem nullify token swarms and +1/+1 counter synergies.
• Energy Disruption: Cards like Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider halve energy gains, delaying key payoffs.

Minor

• Hand Disruption: Targeted discard can remove combo pieces, but the deck has redundancy in win conditions.
• Flying Threats: Limited reach makes flyers problematic without Brotherhood Vertibird or Whirler Rogue evasion.

Most Important Cards:

• Liberty Prime, Recharged (Commander, finisher, energy/card engine)
• Wake the Past (Mass artifact recursion, instant board rebuild)
• The Prydwen, Steel Flagship (Token generation, win condition enabler)
• Mechanized Production (Alt-win condition with token copies)
• Shaun, Father of Synths (Clones Liberty Prime for lethal combat)
• Panharmonicon (Doubles ETB value from robots/artifacts)
• Curie, Emergent Intelligence (Card draw engine, threat copier)
• Solemn Simulacrum (Ramp, card draw, Panharmonicon synergy)
• Dovin's Veto (Uncounterable interaction for protecting combos)
• Brotherhood Scribe (Energy generation, anthem effect)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 5/10

• Can threaten wins via combat/clones around T7-9, but slow mana base and setup delay faster combos.

Resilience: 4/10

• Recursion (Buried Ruin, Loran, Elder Owyn Lyons) and protection (Dovin's Veto, Lightning Greaves) exist, but over-reliance on artifacts makes recovery from wipes difficult.

Consistency: 5/10

• Multiple energy generators and token producers provide redundancy, but lacks tutors for key combo pieces like Mechanized Production. Card draw (Thirst for Knowledge, One with the Machine) is situational.

Interaction: 6/10

• Efficient removal (Swords to Plowshares, Dispatch, Wear // Tear) and counterspells (Dovin's Veto, Refute), but minimal board wipes and no graveyard interaction.

Rating Justification:

The deck aims for T7-9 wins through combat, token swarms, or alt-conditions like Mechanized Production, aligning with Casual/Focused Casual benchmarks. Its moderate speed is hampered by vulnerability to artifact disruption and slow mana, preventing higher optimization.

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
