Overview:
A high-powered Slicer, Hired Muscle artifact-focused deck that aims to establish early board control through fast mana and equipment-based aggro strategy, with stax elements to slow opponents while racing ahead.
Primer:
This deck operates as a powerful artifact-based aggro-control strategy, leveraging fast mana artifacts and powerful equipment to create an aggressive commander damage threat while disrupting opponents' gameplay. The deck runs numerous stax pieces like Cursed Totem, Damping Sphere, and Thorn of Amethyst to slow down opponents while establishing board presence through efficient artifacts and equipment.
The primary gameplan involves deploying Slicer, Hired Muscle early through fast mana, protecting it with equipment and interaction, and creating a clock through commander damage. The deck includes powerful artifact synergies through cards like Goblin Welder and Goblin Engineer for recursion, while maintaining pressure through various Swords and other equipment. Secondary win conditions include grinding out value through artifact synergies and maintaining board control through stax effects.
Weaknesses:
The deck is somewhat vulnerable to artifact removal and board wipes, which can severely impact its ability to maintain pressure. The relatively low creature count makes it susceptible to removal-heavy metas where Slicer might struggle to stay on the battlefield. The deck's reliance on artifacts for ramp and utility makes it particularly vulnerable to cards like Collector Ouphe or Null Rod.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 8/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 8/10
- Interaction: 7/10
Rating Justification:
This deck demonstrates significant competitive potential with its fast mana package and efficient interaction suite, placing it firmly in the high-power category. While it doesn't quite reach the consistency levels of top-tier cEDH decks, it can establish threatening board states by turn 3-4 with protection. The stax elements and artifact synergies provide strong disruption against faster combo decks, while the equipment package offers a reliable win condition. The deck would struggle against full cEDH decks (8.5+) but would consistently overpower casual and mid-powered tables.
Final power level rating: 7.8 - 8.2
