The Commander
Ward 
At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top X cards of your library, where X is the number of card types among other nonland permanents you control. You may play those cards this turn.
Guide
Gameplan
Loot is a Temur card-advantage engine: each upkeep you impulse-exile X cards equal to the number of distinct card types among your other nonland permanents, then play them that turn. You build a wide, type-diverse board (artifact + creature + enchantment + planeswalker + battle) to crank X up to 5+, then bury opponents under sheer volume of free spells and grind to a win with raw resources.
Strengths
- Generates massive card advantage every turn with no card investment once set up
- Ward makes Loot resilient to cheap single-target removal
- Temur colors give access to ramp, big payoffs, and flexible interaction
- Rewards permanent-type diversity, naturally building a sticky, redundant board
- Impulse draw dodges discard and hand-size limits
Weaknesses
- Highly dependent on the commander; if Loot dies repeatedly the engine stalls
- X is small (often 1-3) until you assemble several distinct permanent types
- Impulse-drawn cards are lost if you can't play them that turn—mana hungry
- Vulnerable to board wipes that erase your type-diverse battlefield
- No built-in protection beyond Ward ; sweepers and exile hose it
- Can flood on lands or whiff if you exile spells you can't afford
Key Cards
- Esika's Chariot — A single artifact that makes Cat tokens, adding both artifact and creature types cheaply while padding the board.
- The Great Henge — Provides ramp, card draw, and lifegain while counting as an artifact type to grow X.
- Wedding Ring — Helps level the card advantage race and counts toward your artifact type while drawing extra cards.
- Birgi, God of Storytelling — Generates red mana off your impulse-drawn spells, letting you actually cast everything you exile.
- Jeska's Will — Explosive ritual that lets you dump a turn's worth of impulse-exiled cards in one go.
- Goldspan Dragon — Doubles treasure value to fuel casting your exiled cards and adds a powerful creature body.
- Mana Reflection — Doubles your mana to play out everything Loot exiles each upkeep.
- Heroic Intervention — Protects your type-diverse board and Loot from sweepers and targeted removal.
Upgrade Path
Tighten the curve and add fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Vault, signets) plus treasure/ritual makers like Dockside Extortionist and Birgi so you can actually cast everything Loot exiles. Prioritize permanents that add multiple or unusual card types (artifact creatures, enchantment creatures, planeswalkers, even a battle) to push X higher early. Finally, add protection (Heroic Intervention, Lightning Greaves) and recursion to keep your board and commander online through wipes.
