Primer
by @mark · 2 min readis the engine's core: on entry she creates two 1/1 Thopters, then her repeatable ability sacrifices two artifacts to choose between 3 damage, -4/-4, or gaining 5 life — turning every artifact into removal, drain, or direct burn.
Game plan: ramp with artifact mana rocks (, Signet, Talismans, ) and cheap disposable artifacts (/Sphere, ), then land Breya alongside value multipliers. turns the deck's many 1/1 tokens (Thopters, Servos, Constructs) into card draw when they die. , , , and convert artifacts/tokens dying or leaving the battlefield into opponent life loss, stacking with Breya's direct hits.
Recursion: returns cheaper artifacts to hand whenever another artifact dies; and recur/recast pieces from the graveyard; puts artifacts straight back onto the battlefield by sacrificing others. This creates a loop: sacrifice for value/damage, recur, repeat.
Win condition: death by a thousand cuts via Breya plus and triggers, or repeated extra turns from once the artifact board is wide enough.
Weaknesses: heavy mana requirements to fire off multiple activated abilities in one turn; vulnerable to artifact hate (Vandalblast, Farewell); little instant-speed interaction beyond and ; the engine stalls if Breya is removed early without backup (Padeem only grants hexproof while being the highest-CMC artifact).
