Overview:

A Breya, Etherium Shaper artifact-focused deck that combines value-generating artifact synergies with multiple combo lines and control elements. The deck can win through combat damage, combo loops, or incremental damage through artifact triggers.

Primer:

This deck operates as a midrange artifact value engine with several potential paths to victory. The primary gameplan revolves around generating value through artifact synergies and ETB triggers, using Breya, Etherium Shaper as both a value engine and removal piece. The deck can win through various means, including infinite combos with Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle, thopter token beatdown enhanced by Thopter Spy Network, or death by a thousand cuts using Reckless Fireweaver and Ingenious Artillerist triggers.

The deck features strong card advantage engines through artifacts and includes several tutors to find key pieces. The control package includes counterspells and removal, allowing the deck to interact while building its board state. The inclusion of powerful value engines like Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant and Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines provides additional ways to overwhelm opponents with card advantage and board presence.

Weaknesses:

The deck is somewhat vulnerable to artifact hate and mass removal, which can severely disrupt its gameplan. While it includes protection pieces, the reliance on artifacts makes it particularly susceptible to cards like Vandalblast or Collector Ouphe. The mana base could be improved with more efficient lands and rocks, and the deck sometimes struggles with color requirements in the early game.

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 6/10
• Resilience: 7/10
• Consistency: 6/10
• Interaction: 7/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits firmly in the focused-to-optimized range, showing more refinement than typical casual decks but lacking the explosive speed and consistency of higher-powered builds. It can establish strong board positions and threaten wins around turns 7-8, which places it above casual builds but below truly competitive decks. The inclusion of multiple interaction pieces and combo potential pushes it above the 6.0 range, but the somewhat slower setup time and vulnerability to disruption keeps it from reaching higher power levels.

Final power level rating: 6.3 - 6.8
