Arcum Dagsson

How it plays & wins

Arcum Dagsson sits at the center of this deck. Its ability lets you sacrifice an artifact to tutor an artifact with a mana value one higher, so the deck converts its many mana rocks, Moxen, Walkers, and Myr into a steady stream of new artifacts. Blue interaction (Force of Will, Mana Drain-style counters like Pact of Negation, Mindbreak Trap, and Mental Misstep) protects that engine while cards like Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora generate card advantage.

The list does not make its win condition clear. No known combo was detected, and no single finisher stands out. Portal to Phyrexia, Tezzeret, Cruel Captain, and Walking Ballista are plausible threats, but the deck's strength seems to be overwhelming the table with resources and answers until a big threat or a Dagsson-tutored piece closes the game. The #1 finish suggests it does this well, but the exact route to victory is something the list alone cannot confirm.
