Overview:
A Jeskai artifact-focused deck that leverages energy counters and artifact synergies, centered around Liberty Prime, Recharged as a powerful combat threat with artifact-based value generation.
Primer:
This deck operates as an artifact-centric value engine that aims to establish board presence through artifact synergies while maintaining Liberty Prime, Recharged as a consistent combat threat. The strategy revolves around generating energy counters to keep Liberty Prime active while using various artifact recursion and value pieces to maintain card advantage and board presence.
The deck can win through multiple paths, including combat damage with an enhanced Liberty Prime, artifact creature swarms, or through value-based attrition using cards like Mechanized Production. The artifact recursion suite featuring cards like Goblin Welder, Scrap Mastery, and Daretti, Scrap Savant provides resilience and allows for recovery from board wipes.
Weaknesses:
The deck is somewhat vulnerable to artifact hate and graveyard hate, which can severely impact its recursion strategy. The mana base could be more optimized, potentially leading to color-fixing issues in crucial early turns. The energy counter requirement for Liberty Prime can be demanding, especially if key energy generators are removed, and the deck may struggle against faster, more aggressive strategies that can establish board control before the artifact synergies come online.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 5/10
- Interaction: 4/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the optimized casual range, showing more cohesion than a typical precon but lacking the explosive power of higher-tier decks. While it has strong value engines and recursion capabilities, it typically needs several turns to establish its board presence and begin executing its strategy effectively. The deck would struggle against focused competitive decks (7.0+) due to its slower setup time but could hold its own against other casual decks in the 4.0-5.0 range. The artifact synergies and recursion elements give it an edge over pure casual decks, but its reliance on combat damage and somewhat slower mana base keep it from reaching higher power levels.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
