Strategy
Iron Man, Bleeding Edge is a blue artifact-focused commander that turns your artifact spells into pseudo-card advantage engines. Every time you cast an artifact, you get to copy it for free (once per turn), flooding the board with tokens while building toward a critical mass of value. Your game plan revolves around chaining cheap artifact spells—mana rocks, equipment, utility artifacts—to generate exponential value through copying. You'll turbo-charge this with anthem effects and artifact synergies to turn your token copies into a lethal swarm or overwhelm opponents through sheer board presence and resource generation.
The deck plays smoothly in midrange mode, ramping early with artifact mana while setting up your copying engine mid-game. Blue's card draw and interaction keep you ahead, while artifact tokens pile on gradually. You win by attacking with a growing army of hasty/flying tokens (especially after suiting them up with equipment), or by grinding opponents out through repeated value triggers. The beauty is that even modest artifacts like Talismans or basic utility pieces generate two bodies, and synergistic cards like Swordsman's Steel or equipment packages multiply exponentially.
