Overview:

This artifact-centric deck leverages Mishra, Eminent One to create temporary 4/4 copies of key noncreature artifacts, generating value through token armies, artifact recursion, and incremental advantage. The strategy focuses on artifact synergy, token multiplication, and converting artifact quantity into combat threats or combo finishes. While lacking cEDH-level speed or resilience, it demonstrates focused casual power through redundancy in artifact payoffs and moderate interaction.

Primer:

Core Strategy: Deploy Mishra by T4-5 to copy high-impact artifacts like Lithoform Engine or Mirrorworks, creating exponential value. Win through:

1. Token Swarms: Use Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer to convert Servo/Construct tokens into copies of powerful artifact creatures like Hellkite Igniter
2. Combat Mana: Thran Dynamo/Hedron Archive copies fuel explosive turns with Blast-Furnace Hellkite
3. Value Engines: Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain and Idol of Oblivion convert artifact plays into card advantage
4. Recursion Loops: Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Buried Ruin recover key artifacts

Mulligan Priorities:

• 3 lands with artifact ramp (Sol Ring, Dimir Signet)
• At least 1 early artifact (Ichor Wellspring, Servo Schematic)
• Avoid hands without T3-4 Mishra enablers

Key Tips:

• Copy Lithoform Engine with Mishra to double Warform triggers
• Use Strionic Resonator on Mishra's combat trigger
• Sacrifice Warform tokens before EOT to Oni-Cult Anvil/Fain, the Broker
• Brudiclad transforms all tokens into your best Warform copy

Avoid Traps:

• Overextending into board wipes without Padeem, Consul of Innovation
• Keeping high-CMC hands without artifact ramp
• Wasting removal on non-critical threats

Weaknesses:

Moderate:

• Relies on commander (3 removals cripple strategy)
• Limited protection for key pieces
• Slow recovery from mass artifact hate Minor:
• Vulnerable to Collector Ouphe/Stony Silence
• Mediocre early board presence

Most Important Cards:

• Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer
• Lithoform Engine
• Mirrorworks
• Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain
• Metalwork Colossus
• Hellkite Igniter
• Oblivion Stone
• Padeem, Consul of Innovation
• Oni-Cult Anvil
• Muzzio, Visionary Architect

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 5/10

• Goldfish win ~T8-9 via token overruns
• High-CMC payoffs slow early game

Resilience: 5/10

• Moderate recursion (Emry, Buried Ruin)
• Vulnerable to commander removal
• Some protection via Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer

Consistency: 6/10

• 8+ artifact tutors/diggers (Muzzio, Thirst for Knowledge)
• Redundant token generators
• Multiple value engines

Interaction: 5/10

• 10 targeted removal/counters
• Oblivion Stone/Blasphemous Act for wipes
• Lacks free counterspells

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at the Optimized Casual level (5.0-5.5) due to:

• T8-10 combat/combat-math wins
• Moderate interaction density (5-10 range)
• Commander-dependent strategy with partial redundancy
• Comparable to upgraded precons but lacks cEDH staples

Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
