Strategy
Arcum Dagsson is a toolbox commander that turns your artifact creatures into tutors. You tap Arcum to sacrifice an artifact creature, then search for any noncreature artifact from your library—giving you instant access to whatever you need right now. This means you're essentially playing with tutors as a built-in mechanic, letting you assemble combo pieces, ramp, or utility artifacts on demand.
The deck wants to generate artifact creatures cheaply and repeatedly, then sacrifice them to Arcum's ability. You'll run a mix of cheap creature tokens (like Thopter tokens), artifact creatures that draw cards when they die, and mana rocks to cast everything. The real power comes from chaining tutors together: sacrifice a token to fetch a combo piece, then use that piece to generate more tokens for the next activation.
You win by assembling infinite mana or card draw combos, then using that advantage to close out the game with repeated Arcum activations or a finisher artifact like Torment of Hailfire or Blue Sun's Zenith. Alternatively, you can just grind your opponents out with incremental value and tutors until they run out of answers.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive tutors like Mystical Tutor; lean on Arcum's ability instead. Replace high-end mana rocks (Mana Crypt) with cheaper ramp like Cursecatcher or Thought Vessel.
