Strategy
Ich-Tekik is a mono-green artifact sacrifice engine that grows bigger every time your artifacts hit the graveyard. You start with a 3/3 Golem token, then feed artifacts into the bin—either by sacrificing them or letting them die—to pump Ich-Tekik and all your Golems. This creates a snowballing board of increasingly large creatures that can close out games through combat while generating value from your sacrifice outlets.
The deck thrives on cheap artifacts you're happy to sacrifice: Ornithopter, Phyrexian Walker, Frogmite, and mana rocks all feed the engine. Artifact sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer, Ashnod's Altar, and Krark-Clan Ironworks turn your tokens into card draw, mana, or life while triggering Ich-Tekik's growth. Green's ramp and tutors let you assemble your pieces quickly, and cards like Welcoming Vampire or Impact Tremors can turn your token army into additional pressure. The gameplan is straightforward: ramp into Ich-Tekik, build a board of tokens, sacrifice for value, and swing for combat damage with a growing army.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Replace pricey tutors like Worldly Tutor with Sylvan Tutor or Chord of Calling; use Memnite and Ornithopter as free artifacts instead of costly vintage pieces.
