Brenard, Ginger Sculptor
Utilize Phyrexian Splicers and powerful Golem creatures to assemble an army of artifact beaters, cloning them as Food Golem tokens with Brenard when they die while leveraging token duplication and Food lifegain synergies.

Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
