Alibou, Ancient Witness

Alibou is your artifact-focused aggro commander that rewards you for attacking with a growing board of artifact creatures. The gameplan is straightforward: ramp into artifact creatures early, use Alibou to give them all haste so they come down swinging immediately, then attack every turn to trigger Alibou's damage and scry ability. The more artifacts you tap for mana or effects, the bigger your damage payoff becomes. You're essentially turning your mana acceleration into a threat while filtering your draws.

The deck plays like a midrange beater with ramp elements. You want cheap artifact creatures and token generators that create multiple bodies quickly—think Servo tokens, artifact tokens, and efficient golems. Cards that tap artifacts for value (like Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks) double-dip by fueling your scry count while generating mana. Since you're in red-white, you also get access to equipment and anthem effects that make your artifact swarm even more dangerous. Alibou himself is your main threat, so protecting him and attacking aggressively every turn is how you close out games.
