The Commander
+1: Create a 1/1 colorless Servo artifact creature token.
+1: The next spell you cast this turn has affinity for artifacts. (It costs 
less to cast for each artifact you control as you cast it.)
−7: For each artifact you control, create a token that's a copy of it. Those tokens gain haste. Exile those tokens at the beginning of the next end step.
Saheeli, the Gifted can be your commander.
Guide
Gameplan
Flood the board with artifacts and Servo tokens, ride Saheeli's affinity +1 to deploy huge spells for cheap, and protect her until the -7 ultimate copies your whole battlefield for a lethal burst. Turn to turn you build mana rocks and artifact creatures, then convert that board into damage via Servos, big creatures, or a token explosion.
Strengths
- Affinity +1 lets you cast big artifacts and even other commanders/spells for near-free
- Generates a steady stream of bodies that fuel sacrifice, tokens, and aristocrats lines
- Game-ending ultimate that copies every artifact you control with haste
- Izzet gives strong card draw, removal, and artifact synergies
Weaknesses
- Planeswalker commanders are vulnerable to attacks and must be protected
- No green ramp; relies on artifact mana rocks to accelerate
- Board wipes and artifact destruction (Vandalblast, Bane of Progress) hit your whole engine
- Can be slow to assemble a critical mass of artifacts before paying off
Key Cards
- Saheeli, the Gifted — Your commander whose affinity and Servo generation define every line of the deck.
- Krark-Clan Ironworks — Converts excess artifacts into explosive mana, especially powerful before a copy ultimate.
- Sai, Master Thopterist — Turns your artifact deployment into a flood of flyers and card draw alongside Saheeli.
- Reckless Fireweaver — Each artifact entering pings opponents, turning the ultimate or token storms into direct damage.
- Marionette Master — Sacrificing copied artifacts after the ultimate drains opponents for lethal.
- Cyberdrive Awakener — Animates all your artifacts as 4/4 flyers for a surprise alpha strike.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana and artifact ramp (Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Mind Stone, Sai) to hit the ultimate faster, and tighten the deck around a payoff like Marionette Master or Reckless Fireweaver so the copy ultimate is lethal on resolution. Include planeswalker protection (Propaganda, blockers, Saheeli's own Servos) and card advantage engines, then add an artifact-based combo like Krark-Clan Ironworks loops to provide a reliable backup kill.
