Strategy
Imotekh the Stormlord is your graveyard-fueled token engine that turns artifact recursion into an army of Necron Warriors. Your gameplan revolves around filling your graveyard with artifact cards—through mill, discard outlets, or natural play—then repeatedly casting or activating effects that pull artifacts from your graveyard. Each time an artifact leaves your bin, you're spawning two 2/2 menace tokens, which snowball quickly into an overwhelming board. The +2/+2 and menace pump on another artifact creature each turn means your army hits hard and breaks through blockers.
Build around self-mill effects like Mire Triton and Stitcher's Supplier to stock your graveyard early. Include cheap artifact cards that cycle or sacrifice themselves—Ornithopter, Frogmite, and Walking Ballista are perfect anchors. Recursion and reanimation effects like Lurrus of the Dream-Den or Goblin Engineer let you repeatedly cast artifacts from your graveyard, triggering Imotekh over and over. The deck plays midrange-to-aggro, establishing a board presence by turn 4–5 and swinging for lethal by turn 7–8 via token swarm.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip Lurrus and use cheaper recursion like Goblin Engineer, Yavimaya Granger, or Muldrotha the Gravetide; budget mana rocks like Wayfarer's Bauble and Myriad Landscape over Mox Diamond.
