Overview:

This 5-color Myr tribal deck helmed by Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch focuses on explosive artifact synergy and token swarm strategies. The commander serves as both an engine (generating Myr tokens and untapping them for combat/utility) and a finisher via its +1/+1 counter-distribution ability. The deck leverages high-powered artifact mana acceleration (Mishra's Workshop, Mox Diamond, Mana Vault) to enable early game dominance, with multiple infinite mana combos (Basalt Monolith + Staff of Domination, Myr Galvanizer loops) that feed into Urtet's pump ability or direct win conditions like Mirrodin Besieged's alt-win mode. A robust tutor suite (Demonic Tutor, Imperial Seal, Fabricate) ensures consistent access to key pieces.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Explosive Start (T1-3): Deploy fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Mox Opal) and Myr mana dorks (Gold Myr, Alloy Myr). Use Urza's Saga to fetch Skullclamp or Mox Amber.
2. Board Development (T2-5): Cast Urtet and generate Myr tokens via Myr spells. Use Cryptolith Rite or Myr Galvanizer to generate massive mana. Tutor for Darksteel Forge with Kuldotha Forgemaster for protection.
3. Win Conditions (T4-7):
   • Combat: Activate Urtet's ability with infinite mana (via Basalt Monolith/Staff of Domination or Myr Galvanizer/Palladium Myr loops) to create lethal Myr armies.
   • Alt-Win: Use Mirrodin Besieged's Phyrexian mode with artifact recursion (Myr Retriever, Scrap Trawler) to force opponent loss.
   • Utility Kills: Myr Battlesphere combat damage amplification or The Reality Chip value snowball.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with ≥2 lands (including color-fixing), 1-2 fast mana sources, and either a Myr dork or tutor.
• Prioritize Mishra's Workshop/Gaea's Cradle in opening hands.
• Avoid hands without early artifact/Myr deployment.

Key Tips:

• Use Clock of Omens to untap Mana Vault/Gaea's Cradle for explosive turns.
• Phyrexian Metamorph can copy key combo pieces like Basalt Monolith.
• Sacrifice Myr tokens to Skullclamp for card draw before buffing them with Urtet.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Crippled by artifact nullification (Null Rod, Stony Silence) which disables 80% of the deck's mana and synergy.
• Lacks answers to Torpor Orb effects that disable Myr token generation from Urtet.

Moderate

• Vulnerable to mass land destruction (Armageddon) due to heavy reliance on nonbasic lands for color fixing.
• Rest in Peace/Leyline of the Void disrupts artifact recursion and Mirrodin Besieged's alt-win.

Minor

• Struggles against flying-heavy boards without Myr Battlesphere's reach.
• Limited instant-speed interaction for resolved enchantments.

Most Important Cards:

• Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch (Token generation/combo enabler)
• Staff of Domination (Infinite mana combo piece)
• Darksteel Forge (Artifact protection)
• Mishra's Workshop (Explosive artifact mana)
• Myr Galvanizer (Mana doubling/combo piece)
• Mirrodin Besieged (Alt-win condition)
• Kuldotha Forgemaster (Tutor for game-winning artifacts)
• Demonic Tutor (Consistency engine)
• Cryptolith Rite (Mana acceleration)
• The One Ring (Card advantage/life buffer)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 8/10

• Capable of T3-4 infinite mana combos with optimal draws (Mishra's Workshop into Basalt Monolith + Staff of Domination), though average wins occur T5-6.

Resilience: 6/10

• Darksteel Forge and counterspells (Fierce Guardianship) provide protection, but heavy reliance on artifacts makes it fragile to targeted hate.

Consistency: 9/10

• 14 tutors and robust card draw (Rhystic Study, The One Ring) ensure reliable access to combo pieces.

Interaction: 5/10

• Limited to artifact-centric removal (Force of Vigor, Deflecting Swat) and a few counterspells, lacking broad answers.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at cEDH-adjacent speed with T3-4 combo potential but lacks the interaction density and stack control of true cEDH lists. Its reliance on artifacts and vulnerability to common stax pieces position it as a high-powered optimized build rather than a tiered competitive deck.

Power level: 7.5 - 8.0
