Overview:

This UB artifacts/Attractions deck leverages dice-rolling synergies and artifact recursion to generate incremental value, with potential combo finishes. While it has some powerful artifact payoffs and attraction synergies, it lacks focused wincons and suffers from inconsistent dice mechanics. The deck operates at a casual power level with moderate synergy but struggles with speed and resilience.

Primer:

Core Strategy:
The deck aims to flood the board with Attractions and artifacts, triggering Dee Kay's dice-roll effects for value. Key lines involve:

1. Attraction Spam: Use enablers like Deadbeat Attendant and Step Right Up to deploy Attractions, then roll to activate their effects.
2. Artifact Synergies: Leverage Urza, Lord High Artificer and Replication Specialist to generate mana/artifact tokens.
3. Dice Manipulation: Night Shift of the Living Dead and Monitor Monitor help optimize dice results for Dee Kay's triggers.
4. Alternate Wincons: Time Sieve extra turns, Aetherflux Reservoir lifedrain, and Marionette Master sacrifice payoffs.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3 lands and early Attraction openers (e.g., Command Performance + Line Cutter).
• Prioritize artifact density over dice synergies.
• Avoid hands without artifact ramp (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet).

Key Tips:

• Use Phyrexian Metamorph to copy key artifacts like Time Sieve.
• Tezzeret the Seeker can tutor combo pieces or untap Aetherflux Reservoir.
• Save Hullbreaker Horror to protect critical turns.

Avoid Traps:

• Overextending into board wipes before establishing recursion.
• Relying on dice rolls without modifiers.
• Casting Mycosynth Golem without sufficient artifact density.

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• No reliable infinite combos
• Heavy artifact reliance vulnerable to Vandalblast/Null Rod

Moderate:

• Dice mechanics introduce variance
• Slow graveyard recursion (only Academy Ruins/Buried Ruin)

Minor:

• Decent board wipe recovery via Conjurer's Closet/recursion

Most Important Cards:

• Urza, Lord High Artificer
• Time Sieve
• Aetherflux Reservoir
• Replication Specialist
• Tezzeret the Seeker
• Hullbreaker Horror
• Night Shift of the Living Dead
• Phyrexian Metamorph
• Marionette Master
• Karn, Living Legacy

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 4/10

• No fast mana beyond Sol Ring/Ancient Tomb
• Earliest wins (T7-8) require perfect Time Sieve/artifact token setup

Resilience: 5/10

• Moderate recursion for artifacts
• Vulnerable to artifact hate and stack interaction
• No free protection spells

Consistency: 5/10

• Limited tutors (Inventors' Fair, Tezzeret planeswalkers)
• Dice mechanics reduce reliability
• Multiple redundant Attraction openers

Interaction: 5/10

• Damnation, Boing!, Metallic Rebuke provide basic answers
• Lacks instant-speed artifact protection
• Reactive plays depend on Hullbreaker Horror

Rating Justification:

This deck sits between "Casual/Precon" (4.0) and "Optimized Casual" (5.0) tiers. While it has stronger individual cards than a precon, the lack of focused wincons and overreliance on dice mechanics prevent higher consistency. It can execute T10 wins through artifact synergies but folds to early interaction. Compared to 5.0 decks, it lacks the redundant combo lines and protection seen in optimized builds.

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
