Creature (1)


Let me introduce you to Mishra, Artificer Prodigy the Grixis artifacts commander you never even knew existed. What, you think he doesn't have a relevant ability? Think again. So this deck is built much like a traditional Ad Nauseam + Tendrils of Agony but with a bit of an egg-like twist. Essentially, the goal is to ramp and play eggs, sac the eggs to draw into something that'll draw you a lot of cards like Ad Nauseam, Paradoxical Outcome, or Riddlesmith, play a cost reducer like Helm of Awakening or Semblance Anvil, play a ton of cheap artifacts, then win with Tendrils (or alternatively Aetherflux Reservoir if you play it before playing your library. Sensei's Divining Top is easily the best card in the deck because if you have a cost reducer, you can respond to any draw trigger by putting Top on top to draw a card, draw Top off of your draw trigger, then play Top again for free netting you an extra storm. It also draws your entire deck and gets you a storm count equal to the cards left in your library with Future Sight + Helm of Awakening + Sensei's Divining Top or anything else that makes Top free to play. But what does Mishra do? Well, Mishra, Artificer Prodigy + Possibility Storm is hilarious. Not only are people going to have trouble interacting with you because of Possibility Storm, but Mishra allows you to search up the artifacts counter by Possibility Storm after you resolve Possibility Storm's trigger, so you get two artifacts for the price of one. Additionally, Possibility Storm can't stop storm copies, so you can still win with it on the battlefield, and since it only triggers if you cast a card from hand, you will always be able to play Mishra again if they get rid of him. To a lesser extent, Mishra also goes well with Top and Future Sight because he lets you shuffle your deck every time you cast an artifact. This means if you don't like the top three you see with Top or can't cast your top card with Future Sight you can always just shuffle your library. This may seem useless, but it really is a nice interaction. Finally, there are a few Mishra interactions I'm not running. Mishra lets you get around Blood Funnel's downside, but I found that it was really easy for my opponents to just get rid of Mishra and leave me screwed. Thada Adel, Acquisitor is funny with Mishra because you can steal people's Sol Ring then search up your own, while cute, I felt like it really didn't work as well towards my end goals, I often consider putting her back in though. Finally, Mishra can do some stax shennanigans with cards like Nether Void and Nullstone Gargoyle, these things don't mesh well with the fast combo strategy in my opinion and really deserve their own deck. I actually think Mishra is better in a stax shell because he is a fair bit slower than other fast combo decks, so I built him into a stax deck! Check it out below!
