Overview:

Breya artifact combo leveraging recursive synergies and multiple infinite lines. Focuses on assembling Thopter Foundry/Sword of the Meek with sac outlets, Nim Deathmantle loops, and Time Sieve extra turns. Strong artifact synergy but vulnerable to grave hate.

Primer:

Core Strategy: This deck aims to flood the board with artifacts, using Breya's sac ability to control threats while assembling infinite combos. Key phases:

1. Artifact Acceleration: Deploy cost reducers (Etherium Sculptor, Foundry Inspector) and mana rocks to enable early combo assembly.
2. Combo Chaining: Use tutors (Whir of Invention, Kuldotha Forgemaster) to find Ashnod's Altar/Krark-Clan Ironworks paired with Thopter Foundry/Sword of the Meek for infinite tokens/life/mana.
3. Recursive Threats: Leverage Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Daretti, Scrap Savant to recover combo pieces from grave. Underworld Breach enables explosive recursion turns.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2+ artifacts and a cost reducer/tutor
• Prioritize early plays enabling T3 Breya
• Reject hands lacking artifact synergy or color fixing

Key Tips:

• Use Shimmer Myr to flash in combo pieces at opponents' end steps
• Nim Deathmantle + Myr Retriever + sac outlet creates infinite ETB/death triggers
• Time Sieve becomes lethal with Thopter Foundry or Marionette Master
• Cyclonic Rift protects combo turns

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Graveyard dependency (Rest in Peace cripples recursion)
• Fragile combo assemblies (3+ piece combos)

Moderate:

• Limited stack protection (only 4 counterspells)
• Artifact wipe vulnerability (Vandalblast resets board)

Minor:

• Life payment strain from painlands

Most Important Cards:

• Ashnod's Altar
• Krark-Clan Ironworks
• Thopter Foundry
• Sword of the Meek
• Nim Deathmantle
• Emry, Lurker of the Loch
• Underworld Breach
• Whir of Invention
• Urza, Lord High Artificer
• Time Sieve

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 7/10

• Goldfish T5 wins via Thopter Foundry/Sword of the Meek + sac outlet
• T3 Breya possible with optimal ramp

Resilience: 6/10

• Multiple recursion engines but weak to exile effects
• Limited protection for combo turns

Consistency: 7/10

• 8 tutors + 3 cost reducers + 5 draw engines
• Redundant combo lines (3+ infinite mana options)

Interaction: 6/10

• 4 counterspells + 3 targeted removal
• Ethersworn Canonist as proactive stax

Rating Justification:

Outpaces casual decks with T5 combos but lacks free interaction for cEDH. Stronger than 6.5 decks through combo density but weaker than 7.5's protection. Matches 7.0's T5-6 win benchmark with stax elements.

Power level: 6.5 - 7.0
