Legendary Creature — Demon
Affinity for artifacts (This spell costs {1} less to cast for each artifact you control.) When Imskir enters, you draw X cards and you lose X life, where X is half the number of artifacts you control, rounded down. {3}{R}, Sacrifice an artifact: Imskir deals damage equal to the sacrificed artifact's mana value to any target.
“Sacrifice artifacts for cards and damage with this affinity demon.”
Imskir Iron-Eater is an artifact-fueled demon that rewards you for playing a high artifact count and then converts those artifacts into card draw and damage. The affinity mechanic makes casting it much cheaper once you've assembled a board of artifacts, and the enter trigger gives you a card advantage boost while the sacrifice ability turns excess artifacts into direct damage or creature removal. Your game plan is to load up on cheap artifacts (mana rocks, tokens, utility pieces), get Imskir out ahead of schedule thanks to affinity, then use the commander as both a value engine and a threat that can close out games by sacrificing artifacts for direct damage.
The deck plays like a BR artifacts shell with aristocrats undertones—you're not just jamming random artifacts, but ones that either ramp you, create tokens, or have effects when they hit the graveyard or get sacrificed. Think of Imskir as your payoff card that turns your artifact synergies into action. The best games involve casting him early (sometimes for just a few mana), drawing cards, and then incrementally converting your board into damage while maintaining threats.

Skip pricey mana rocks like Mox Opal; instead use Chromatic Star, Mind Stone, and Coldsteel Heart as budget affinity helpers, and lean on free tokens from Bitterblossom and Golem tokens.
