Overview:

A complex artifact-focused deck leveraging energy counters and artifact synergies, helmed by Dr. Madison Li who provides utility through energy manipulation. The deck combines artifact value engines with energy counter generation to create a powerful mid-range strategy.

Primer:

This deck operates on multiple synergistic layers, primarily focusing on artifact-based value generation and energy counter manipulation. The commander, Dr. Madison Li, serves as both an energy generator and utility piece, providing card draw and artifact recursion through energy expenditure. The deck's primary gameplan involves establishing a strong artifact presence while accumulating energy counters, which can then be used for various effects including buffing creatures, drawing cards, and powering key pieces like Aetherworks Marvel and Gonti's Aether Heart.

The secondary strategy involves artifact-based value engines through cards like Urza, Lord High Artificer, Daretti, Scrap Savant, and Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain. These pieces help maintain card advantage while building toward either a combat-based victory through buffed creatures or a combo finish using various artifact synergies. The deck can also win through energy-based threats like Electrostatic Pummeler or through artifact token generation with cards like Whirler Virtuoso and Thopter Spy Network.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to artifact hate and mass removal effects, particularly cards like Vandalblast or Collector Ouphe which can severely hamper its gameplan. The energy counter mechanic requires setup time and can be disrupted before reaching critical mass. The deck also relies heavily on its artifacts staying on the battlefield, making it susceptible to stax effects that prevent artifact activation.

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 6/10
• Resilience: 7/10
• Consistency: 7/10
• Interaction: 6/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused competitive level, with the ability to establish strong board positions by turn 6-7. While it contains powerful pieces and synergies, it requires setup time and doesn't consistently threaten wins before turn 6. The deck's resilience comes from its ability to recur artifacts and generate consistent value, but it lacks the explosive speed of higher-powered decks. When compared to power level 6.0 decks, it shows more consistency and resilience, but doesn't quite reach the speed and efficiency of power level 7.5 decks.

Final power level rating: 6.5 - 7.0
