The Commander
Whenever Roxanne enters or attacks, create a tapped colorless artifact token named Meteorite with "When this token enters, it deals 2 damage to any target" and "
: Add one mana of any color."
Whenever you tap an artifact token for mana, add one mana of any type that artifact token produced.
Guide
Gameplan
Roxanne pumps out Meteorite tokens on ETB and every attack, each pinging something for 2 and ramping you hard since her second ability doubles mana from any artifact token you tap. You snowball into oversized mana, use the pings to grind down boards and players, and convert that ramp into giant payoffs or a token-fueled finish.
Strengths
- Explosive ramp: every Meteorite effectively taps for two mana of any color thanks to her doubler
- Built-in incremental damage and removal from Meteorite ETB pings
- Treasure/Clue/Food/Powerstone synergy—her doubler applies to ALL artifact tokens you tap
- Color fixing in a two-color deck enables splashing or casting demanding spells
- Token count rises every combat, fueling sacrifice and 'artifacts you control' payoffs
Weaknesses
- Heavily commander-dependent; without Roxanne the engine stalls
- Tokens enter tapped, so the mana isn't available the turn they're made
- Vulnerable to board wipes and artifact hate that erase your Meteorite army
- Slow to close unless paired with a payoff—pings alone won't win fast enough
- Mana flood without sinks; needs ways to dump huge mana
Key Cards
- Doubling Season — Doubles the Meteorites she creates, instantly multiplying your pings and ramp.
- Ashnod's Altar — Sacrifice excess Meteorites for colorless mana to fuel huge X-spells and combos.
- Reckless Fireweaver — Turns every Meteorite entering into extra direct damage, building a kill engine.
- Goblin Bombardment — Free sacrifice outlet that flings Meteorites for damage and dodges removal.
- Krark-Clan Ironworks — Converts your growing artifact token pile into explosive mana bursts.
- Voltaic Key — Untaps Meteorites for repeated doubled mana, accelerating your engine.
- Comet, Stellar Pup — Another planeswalker payoff and token generator that loves the artifact synergies.
- Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx — Massive green mana sink to convert devotion into game-ending mana.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana and token doublers (Doubling Season, Mondrak, Anointed Procession) plus sacrifice outlets to convert Meteorites into mana or damage, then install clear payoffs like Reckless Fireweaver, Marionette Master, or a big X-spell finisher. Tighten the curve with efficient ramp and protection (Heroic Intervention, Lightning Greaves) so Roxanne survives, and include mana sinks like Nykthos or Walking Ballista so excess mana always converts to wins.

- ▸Going wide with tokens and finishing with Craterhoof Behemoth or overrun effects

Archetypes
- Artifact Tokens / Ramp — Roxanne floods the board with Meteorites and her doubler makes them outstanding mana rocks.
- Aristocrats / Sacrifice — Endless tapped tokens are perfect fodder for altars and fling effects.
- Spellslinger / Big Mana — Doubled colorless mana powers enormous X-spells and burn finishers.
- Pingers / Damage Aggro — Stacking Meteorite ETB pings with damage doublers and artificers grinds tables down.
