Overview:
A mono-green artifact and Food-focused deck built around Six's ability to recast permanents from the graveyard through retrace, utilizing sacrifice synergies and value engines to generate card advantage and board presence.
Primer:
The deck operates on multiple synergistic axes, primarily focusing on artifacts that can sacrifice themselves for value while enabling Six's retrace ability through land recursion. The core gameplay loop involves using self-sacrificing artifacts to draw cards, gain life, and generate resources while filling the graveyard. Trail of Crumbs, Panharmonicon, and various Food generators create sustained value engines.
The deck aims to win through incremental advantage and board presence rather than combo lines. Key pieces like Primal Vigor and Displaced Dinosaurs can create significant threats, while the Food subtheme provides both utility and offensive potential through cards like Night of the Sweets' Revenge and Killer Service. The commander serves as a consistent source of card advantage and recursion rather than a primary win condition.
Weaknesses:
- Highly vulnerable to graveyard hate and artifact removal
- Limited interaction with opponents' strategies outside of occasional targeted removal
- Relatively slow to establish meaningful board presence
- Struggles against flying creatures due to limited reach options
Most Important Cards:
- Trail of Crumbs
- Panharmonicon
- Trading Post
- Primal Vigor
- Life from the Loam
- Ichor Wellspring
- Inspiring Statuary

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 5/10
- Interaction: 3/10
Rating Justification:
This deck falls into the optimized casual range due to its coherent strategy and synergistic pieces, but lacks the explosive power or fast mana to compete at higher power levels. While it can generate significant value over time, it typically won't threaten wins before turn 10-11. The deck's reliance on fair value engines and combat damage for winning places it firmly in the 5.0-5.5 range, with its Food subtheme and artifact synergies providing good consistency but not enough speed for higher power levels.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
