Description

The idea is to chuck artifacts at people. Bosh swings a massive wurmcoil engine by the tail to fling it at someone's face, then picks it back up from the scrap heap.

How can we get artifacts to chuck at people?

  • Play them
  • Steal them
  • Recur them
  • Convert other permanents into them

How can we get BIG artifacts for Bosh to bosh around?

  • ramp into them
  • reduce cost of artifacts (for example, affinity)
  • reanimate them
  • "cheat" them into play (a la hide and seek)

How can we chuck artifacts at people?

  • Bosh can chuck any artifact, including himself. Guaranteed.
  • Other fling-like effects

How can we e n h a n c e the chucks??

  • multiply damage
  • reduce cost of chucking
  • recur chucked artifacts
  • copy the chuck
  • persist

What else can we do with all these artifacts?

  • attack
  • activate that shit
  • try to hold them all at once
  • sacrifice them for reasons

Plan: In the early game we ramp hard while attempting to find (a) artifacts that are both high cmc and high value (powerful creatures, strong etb/ltb effects, activated abilities), and (b) cards like goblin welder and daretti. We take advantage of tokens and cards that generate value when they die (e.g. myr retriever) to offset goblin welder's potential card disadvantage. With Bosh in the command zone, we always have access to a way to convert high cmc artifacts into player damage or removal, and an expensive sac outlet to turn on LTB effects like scrap trawler. If there are flex slots, we can put in damage multiplication + ability copying to make Bosh an effective win condition, shimmer myr and/or vedalken orrery to protect our board state and win out of nowhere, and treasure nabbing memes.
