Artifact Stax
Featured list~$2085Liga Paulista Premodern - 7a Etapa - Medieval Cards, São Paulo, Brazil
Overview
"Colorless Stax is an artifact prison deck that powers out fast mana from Ancient Tomb, City of Traitors, and Thran Dynamo (often via Metalworker) to deploy lock pieces ahead of the opponent. Tangle Wire, Sphere of Resistance, Winter Orb, and Smokestack strangle the opponent's resources while Karn, Silver Golem, Masticore, and Black Vise close out the game."
Game Plan
Ramp into a Smokestack and Tangle Wire lock that the opponent can't develop through, then grind them out with Masticore, Karn, Silver Golem, or Black Vise damage.
