Alela's Esper artifact deck floods the board with flying Thopter and Faerie tokens. Alela, Sai, Efficient Construction and Stridehangar Automaton turn every artifact or enchantment cast into extra fliers. Cost reducers keep the spell count high, and draw engines that key off artifact casts and token arrivals refill the hand. The resulting wide air force is then pumped by anthems and token doublers, while sacrifice outlets and artifact-enter triggers drain opponents. How it wins: It overwhelms opponents with a large pumped flying token army, backed by life drain from artifact entries and sacrifices, and can also assemble Thopter Foundry, Sword of the Meek and Time Sieve for infinite turns or win outright with Mechanized Production. Key roles: - Cast triggers into fliers: Casting cheap artifacts and enchantments makes 1/1 flying tokens with each cast, and Alela gives the other fliers +1/+0. Extra token replacement effects stack more Thopters onto every trigger. (Sai, Master Thopterist, Efficient Construction, Stridehangar Automaton) - Cheap artifact density: Zero- to two-mana artifacts, mana rocks and artifact lands are discounted further by cost reducers. This lets several Alela and Sai triggers happen in one turn and feeds affinity and improvise. (Etherium Sculptor, Foundry Inspector, Jhoira's Familiar) - Token multiplication and anthems: Token doublers and copy effects widen the board, and lords for Thopters, Servos and artifact creatures turn the 1/1 swarm into a lethal air force. (Bard, King of Dale, Chief of the Foundry, Master Trinketeer) - Value draw engines: Artifact casts, artifact entries, token entries and combat damage from artifact creatures each draw cards, keeping the chain of cheap spells going. (Vedalken Archmage, Fateful Discovery, Thopter Spy Network) - Drain and sacrifice payoffs: Artifacts entering, tokens being created or sacrificed, and artifacts dying all cause life loss for opponents. Wide-board scaling finishers close games off the swarm. (Pactdoll Terror, Mirkwood Bats, Haunt the Network) - Combo package: Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek loop endlessly to make Thopters and gain life. Fed into Time Sieve, they take infinite turns. Mechanized Production offers an alternate win, and tutors or graveyard recursion help assemble the pieces. (Thopter Foundry, Sword of the Meek, Time Sieve)
