Donatello, Way with Machines

Donatello is a flying Voltron commander that grows bigger every time you play or recur artifacts. Your game plan is straightforward: assemble a pile of cheap artifacts, watch Donatello become a massive evasive threat, and bash for commander damage. The deck leans heavily into artifact synergies—cheap stuff like Ornithopter, Memnite, and Frogmite help you pump Donatello early, while artifact tokens from cards like Thopter Foundry give you repeatable triggers. You're essentially playing a tempo-aggressive strategy where Donatello becomes unblockable and lethal faster than opponents expect.

Secondary synergies come from artifact-focused value engines: creatures that reward you for playing artifacts (like Puresteel Paladin or Emry, Lurker of the Loch), blink effects that retrigger artifacts entering the battlefield, and graveyard recursion to replay cheap artifacts from the bin. Think of it as a tempo deck that snowballs into a flying threat rather than a traditional control or combo strategy. With card draw from Shimmer Myr or Ledger Shredder, you'll find action naturally while Donatello turns sideways.
