{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Overview"},{"insert":"\nAt its core this deck is just an artifact creature pile that aims to get creatures on board, ramp into bigger threats and value pieces quickly, and wins through flying beaters while keeping bigger threats in check.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Tutors"},{"insert":"\nThere are two tutors in this deck, Trophy and Treasure Mage. They each find artifacts of specific mana values, 3 and 6+ respectively.\nTrophy Mage specifically finds artifacts mana value 3. For ramp you can grab Metalworker who gives insane mana left unchecked, and for card draw there's both Requiem Monolith and Uthros Research Craft depending on what's available to you, and if you need to replace a dead commander's ability theres Liberator, Urza'a Battlethopter to give your artifacts flash and Foundry Inspector to make artifacts cheaper.\nTreasure Mage finds artifacts mana value 6 or greater, but most of your finds have affinity for artifacts which means they'll actually only cost you 1-3 mana to cast in a round. For removal theres Demonic Junker, for burst draw you can get Thought Monitor, Combustable Gearhulk threatens large bursts of damage or card draw, and Furnace Hellkite can hit face for upwards of 10 damage in the air.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Winning"},{"insert":"\nThis deck lacks a single card win or combo, so you're playing for a slightly longer game where your flying beaters knock away weakened players uncontested.\nNotably, there's Broodstar who gets very large for cheap just by playing your deck normally, Furnace Hellkite who you can dump excess mana into before damage to hit someone for unexpected lethal with the mana you'll have sitting around from ramp, Displacer Kitten can repeatedly trigger abilities from Thought Monitor or Combustable Gearhulk to draw through your deck for answers and threats while threatening large burn damage to face, and Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter will grow large over the course of a game, potentially meeting your other flyers in stats in the late game.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Starting Hands"},{"insert":"\nIdeally, you want to get your commander out on turn 3, which means you'll need 4 mana by then. Typically, that means you'll have 3 untapped lands and a 2 cost ramp artifact like arcane signet. Once you get your commander out, you'll have around 4 lands, 1 mana rock, and 3 mana from firebending on turn 4 so you can cast around 8 mana worth of spells, putting you far ahead if you have a way to spend it. \nOnce you have your mana, you'll either want a handful of ways to spend, like expensive beaters, or ways to draw more cards with that mana. \nAn example would be 3 lands, an Arcane Signet, an Urthos Research Craft, a piece of removal like Noxious Gearhulk, and whatever other card you have. You'll have a land for the first 3 turns, a turn 2 ramp, turn 3 commander, and turn 4 removal or card draw prepared for the turns moving forward. \nAvoid hand that lack ramp, have too much ramp and nothing to do with it (unless you want to gamble you'll draw into something), have under 2 lands, or more than 3 lands. Never take a hand that casts a turn 5 commander unless it has good reason to (ex. multiple ramp cards that put you very far ahead in mana prior to casting the commander if you want to be greedy).\n\n"}]}
