Donatello, Turtle Techie

Donatello is a straightforward blue value engine that rewards you for playing artifacts. His enter-the-battlefield trigger turns every artifact you control into card advantage, making him perfect for an artifact-focused strategy that also leans into blue's control and bounce mechanics. The deck wants to establish a steady stream of artifacts—especially cheap ones and mana rocks—so Donatello can keep drawing cards and building your hand advantage. You'll use this card advantage to fuel counterspells, removal, and card draw, controlling the game while your artifacts slowly chip away at opponents or enable a late-game finisher.

The typical win path involves either grinding out opponents with repeated artifact plays (triggering Donatello multiple times), swinging in with Donatello himself boosted by equipment or +1/+1 effects, or setting up a combo finish with your artifact synergies. Since you're running artifacts anyway, cards like Etherium Sculptor and Foundry Inspector further reduce casting costs, letting you chain together multiple artifacts in a turn and trigger Donatello repeatedly. This turns the deck into a value machine that's hard to run out of resources.
