Meria, Scholar of Antiquity turns a dense collection of mana-producing artifacts into an engine that generates green mana and exiles cards off the top of the library to fuel explosive, fast-paced turns. The deck pairs this artifact-based acceleration with heavy stax elements — symmetric and asymmetric tax effects, mana denial, and resource-throttling permanents — to lock opponents out while Meria digs toward combo pieces. Victory is achieved by assembling infinite mana through Rings of Brighthearth combined with Basalt Monolith or Voltaic Key and a charged Everflowing Chalice, then deploying Walking Ballista as a mana sink to eliminate all opponents at once.
