Legendary Artifact Creature — Dalek
Whenever Cult of Skaro attacks, choose one at random — • Thay — Put a +1/+1 counter on each artifact creature you control. • Caan — Draw two cards. • Sec — Create a 3/3 black Dalek artifact creature token with menace. • Jast — Each opponent loses 4 life.
“Random artifact chaos—attack to trigger one of four powerful effects each turn.”
Cult of Skaro is a chaos-loving commander that rewards you for attacking with random payoffs every turn. You're building around a 4/4 flyer that essentially gives you a free effect each combat phase—sometimes you're pumping your artifact creatures, sometimes drawing cards, sometimes making tokens, sometimes draining opponents. The deck leans into artifact synergies (since you'll naturally make Dalek tokens) and ways to protect or repeatedly attack with your commander, turning randomness into inevitability through sheer volume of triggers. You win by either beating down with artifact creatures enhanced by counters, or by accumulating value (cards, tokens, life drain) until opponents can't handle your board presence.
The beauty of Cult of Skaro is that every attack is exciting—you're never sure which mode fires, so games stay dynamic. Build redundancy by including cheap artifact creatures, token doublers, and evasion effects so your commander connects reliably. Cards that trigger on artifact entry or sacrifice effects turn those random Dalek tokens into real threats. Since you're Dimir-based colors with red, you get access to artifact tutors, wheel effects, and discard synergies that all feed into an artifact-heavy strategy.

Skip pricey artifact tutors like Transmute Artifact; use Reshape, Fabricate, and Kuldotha Forgemaster instead. Ramp with Mana Rocks like Darksteel Ingot over Mox Diamond.
