Overview:

This BR artifact/typal deck leverages The Dalek Emperor's token generation and changeling synergies to swarm with Daleks. Key strategies include cost reduction (Herald's Horn, Urza's Incubator), token amplification (Shared Animosity, Adaptive Automaton), and attrition through forced sacrifices. While lacking infinite combos, it employs moderate synergy-based life drain (Biotransference + Disciple of the Vault) and token payoffs.

Primer:

Core Strategy:
Deploy changelings/Daleks early using tribal discounts, then pressure opponents through The Dalek Emperor's Villainous Choice triggers. Generate exponential value via token doublers (Roaming Throne, Genesis of the Daleks) and artifact synergies (Disciple of the Vault, Unwinding Clock). Close games through combat overruns or attrition from forced sacrifices.

Mulligan Priorities:

• 3+ lands (prioritize artifact lands)
• 1-2 tribal enablers (Herald's Horn/Urza's Incubator)
• Early changelings (Universal Automaton) or ramp (Sol Ring)
  Avoid hands without tribal synergy or token generators.

Key Tips:

• Use Maskwood Nexus to make all creatures Daleks for maximum affinity
• Time Biotransference after establishing token generators
• Clone The Dalek Emperor with Helm of the Host for multiple triggers
• Leverage Daretti's -2 to recur key artifacts like Darksteel Forge

Avoid Traps:

• Overextending before Darksteel Forge protection
• Casting The Dalek Emperor without Daleks for affinity
• Keeping slow hands without early tribal plays

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Heavy artifact hate (Vandalblast, Bane of Progress)
• Multiple commander removals (no inherent protection)

Moderate:

• Graveyard exile (limited recursion outside Mishra)
• Flying/evasion threats (minimal reach/flying blockers)

Minor:

• Life gain strategies (no direct counter)

Most Important Cards:

• Biotransference
• Genesis of the Daleks
• Maskwood Nexus
• Urza's Incubator
• Herald's Horn
• Demonic Tutor
• Vampiric Tutor
• Shared Animosity
• Darksteel Forge
• Roaming Throne

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10
Tribal discounts enable T4-5 token floods, but lacks fast mana beyond Sol Ring/Dark Ritual. Slowest hands goldfish wins ~T8.

Resilience: 5/10
Moderate recursion (Daretti, Reanimate) and Darksteel Forge protection, but folds to consecutive wraths. Commander-dependent lines vulnerable to removal.

Consistency: 7/10
10+ tribal tutors/cost reducers and 15+ Daleks via changelings ensure reliable engine assembly. Multiple redundant token generators.

Interaction: 4/10
Limited instant-speed removal (Snuff Out, Feed the Swarm). Relies on opponents' sacrifices rather than proactive answers.

Rating Justification:

The deck exceeds precon-level consistency with strong tribal synergy and tutors (5.0-5.5 range) but lacks cEDH-speed combos or free interaction. Comparable to upgraded typal decks like Edgar Markov with focused lines but vulnerability to common disruption. Artifact resilience pushes it toward 5.5 in metas light on stax.

Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
