Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"The goal of the deck is to become unkillable, control the board while gathering resources to sweep the victory.\n\nPadeem protects our artifacts and win cons from target removal, but is an easy target herself and tends to draw attention. Giving her protection with equipment or some of the Mycosynths (that will gain hexproof themselves) is a first goal.\n\nWith Padeem on the field, you can defend yourself with Platinum Angel or Platinum Emperium.\n\nOur weaknesses then are board wipes. Destroy-based ones can be turned down by deploying Darksteel Forge or Soul of New Phyrexia. Other wipes as Rift, Terminus or exiled-based must be dealt with counterspells.\n\nThe Mycosynth Lattice and Karn combo is present too to a more serious lock of the board.\n\nAfter securing the protection, proceed to win cons:\n\nBlightsteel Colossus is usually the fastest way to win, with Whispersilk Cloak or Rogue's Passage to open its path.\n\nMechanized Production can either win with Thopters, or Treasures if you Spell Swindle a big enough spell, or you can hold the board until you have enough copies made with it.\n\nThere are a few high power artifacts that can win through rough combat. Thopters can be weaponized with Steel Overseer.\n\nMill is a slow condition that I've been using less and less, but if we lose the previous win cons, we can still use the lock on the table and mill our way to victory.\n"}]}
