Quark, Humble Proprietor
Quark steadily generates Treasure tokens on each upkeep without allowing you to sacrifice them. We turn this massive horde of permanent artifacts into victory via artifact-count win conditions like Hellkite Tyrant, tapping them for damage with Ghirapur Aether Grid, utilizing improvise through Inspiring Statuary, and melting life totals with artifact ETB pingers.

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.
Mana curve · 61 nonland cards
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.
