Baxter Stockman

Baxter Stockman is a tokens-and-pump commander that turns your artifact creatures into aggressive threats each combat. You're generating Robot tokens with Baxter's entry trigger, then buffing them with his combat ability to hit hard and fast while dodging damage with first strike and vigilance. The gameplan is straightforward: build up an artifact-focused board, pump your best creature each turn, and close out games through combat damage before opponents stabilize.

You'll want cheap artifact creators and token generators to keep the board full—cards like Servo Scrapyard, Bitterblossom, and Goblin Welder synergize well. Artifact lords like Chief of the Foundry and Tempered Steel multiply your damage, while haste creatures amplify the tempo advantage. Since you're in Izzet colors, you can also run some evasion tricks and bounce effects to protect your creatures or reset Baxter's ability mid-combat.
