Jan Jansen, Chaos Crafter

Jan Jansen is a self-contained engine that turns artifacts into resources. You tap and sacrifice artifact creatures to generate Treasure tokens (mana), then sacrifice noncreature artifacts to make 1/1 Construct tokens. The goal is to build a tight loop: play cheap artifacts, sacrifice them for value, and use the generated tokens and mana to fuel your gameplan. This creates a engine where you're constantly generating threats and resources, keeping tempo up while grinding through your deck.

Your deck should lean into cheap, expendable artifacts—especially tokens and small creatures that represent artifacts. Cards that generate tokens, sacrifice outlets, and cards that benefit from sacrifice let you multiply the value from Jan's abilities. You win by either grinding out damage with Constructs and token swarms, leveraging the Treasure tokens for combo turns, or setting up aristocrat effects that trigger when things die. The beauty is flexibility: some turns you're going wide, others you're fueling a big spell or combo sequence.
