Overview:
A mono-red artifact-focused deck led by Daretti, Scrap Savant that aims to generate value through recursion and artifact synergies, utilizing the graveyard as a resource while controlling the board with various removal options.
Primer:
The deck's primary gameplan revolves around using Daretti's abilities to filter cards and recur powerful artifacts from the graveyard. Early game focuses on establishing mana acceleration through artifacts like Sol Ring and Mind Stone. Mid-game involves setting up value engines through artifacts and utilizing Daretti's -2 ability to cheat bigger artifacts into play. The deck can win through combat damage with recurring threats like Wurmcoil Engine or through value accumulation and control elements. Scrap Mastery acts as a powerful reset button that can swing the game dramatically in your favor.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate and artifact removal, which can severely hamper its primary strategy. Being mono-red, it lacks efficient ways to deal with enchantments and has limited options for interaction outside of damage-based removal. The deck can struggle if Daretti is repeatedly removed, as many of its strategies rely heavily on the commander.

Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual to focused casual level, with its primary strengths lying in its ability to generate value over time through artifact recursion. While it includes some powerful cards and synergies, its speed and consistency are limited by its mono-red nature and reliance on its commander. The deck can compete with other casual decks but would struggle against more optimized strategies. It typically aims to win around turn 10-12 through accumulated value and combat damage.
