ANALYSIS

Overview:

A Jeskai artifact-focused deck centered around energy counter generation and utilization, led by Dr. Madison Li. The deck combines artifact synergies with energy management to create a value-oriented strategy that can both go wide with tokens and tall with powered-up creatures.

Primer:

The deck's primary gameplan revolves around generating energy counters through artifact casting and various triggered abilities, then leveraging those counters for card advantage and creature enhancement. Early game focuses on establishing mana rocks and artifact presence while building up energy reserves. Mid-game transitions into creating board presence through artifact creatures and tokens, while using energy for card draw and creature buffs. Late game can close out through either combat damage with enhanced creatures or through value-based attrition using the commander's recursion ability.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to artifact hate and mass removal, particularly cards like Vandalblast or Collector Ouphe which can severely hamper its gameplan. Energy counter generation can be slow without proper artifact density, and the deck can struggle if the commander is repeatedly removed due to its reliance on energy generation.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • Sol Ring
  • Liberty Prime, Recharged
  • Panharmonicon
  • Wake the Past
  • Steel Overseer
  • Mechanized Production
  • Elder Owyn Lyons
  • The Prydwen, Steel Flagship
  • Arcane Signet
  • T-45 Power Armor

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 5/10
  • Resilience: 6/10
  • Consistency: 5/10
  • Interaction: 4/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual level, with clear synergies but lacking the explosive power or consistency of higher-powered decks. While it has some strong individual cards and interesting interactions, the reliance on building up energy counters and artifacts makes it slower than more optimized strategies. It can compete with other 5.0-level decks but would struggle against more focused builds in the 6.0+ range. The deck has multiple paths to victory but requires time to set up its engine.

Final power level rating: 4.8 - 5.3
