Mastering Assimilation

The general goal of the deck is to use the Assimilater's token copying ability to generate this INSTANT DEATH , this FLYING TOKEN MACHINE , or any other creature's under Copy-Creatures. This is achieved through the aid of artifact synergy.

Reeducation

Begin Reeducation Program

Starting out you would want your hand to have 3 to 4 lands and at least one MANA ROCK to have enough mana to play out your early turns. Early game is when you will be most vulnerable so use the counterspells and removal here especially. Mid to late game you should be able to have a full field of nearly untouchable artifacts. You will want to use the tutors to find the copy-creatures, important synergy cards , and, if necessary, mana rocks. Producing tokens whenever you get the chance as well. I would recommend using cards like Retrofitter Foundry at the end of an opponent's turn if you do not need the token right away on your turn.

Win Conditions

Upon refusal to Assimilate, DECIMATE

These are the win conditions that clear the field and allow you to stomp your way through straight to the life total.

Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice + Nevinyrral's Disk is the tried and true game wrecker with artifact-based decks. (CAUTION: MAY CAUSE SCOOPING)

Spine of Ish Sah + Mirrorworks + Paradox Engine +plus at least 9 mana produced from mana rocks(Don't be afraid to spend extra mana to copy mana rocks if necessary to produce lots of mana). With this combo you actually have Infinite Vindicate, Infinite Tokens, and potentially Infinite Mana if you can produce more than 9 mana from nonlands every casting.

I get to attack a lot this turn

This combo is an infinite combats combo with Brudiclad and Combat Celebrant and any card that will copy Celebrant.

Union Benefits

You've been working hard building lots of tokens and at your upkeep take your Union Break

Instant FULL BLOWN AIDS

Several token copies of FULL BLOWN AIDS will almost always guarantee a win as it only takes one getting through to kill an opponent. He is a , so that makes him a bit difficult to cast from hand. However, using FREE ARTIFACT CASTING PLANESWALKER or LET ME CHECK MY OTHER PANTS . These are not the only ways to make it easier to get him, just a couple big ones.

These simply will not do!

These card effects are the scary ones we want gone.

-Anything that causes creatures to entered tapped, until you have paradox engine -Anything that destroys artifacts, especially if its an ongoing effect. -Anything that takes your artifacts such as GIMME GIMME

These are some big spell effects that really hurt this deck. So if you know its coming hold the mana for the answer.
