Locutus of Borg

Locutus of Borg is the token-generating engine for Borg artifact decks. Every time your artifact creatures connect in combat, you're pumping out 1/1 Borg tokens, turning damage into board presence. The lifelink keeps you healthy while you're swinging, and the synergy is obvious: you want cheap artifact creatures that attack early and often, then use effects like Antagonist Incorporator or Bio-Asset Allocator to turn those combat triggers into incremental value. Your plan is to flood the board with tokens, pump them with cards like The Best of Both Worlds or Class-4 Tactical Cube's Station ability, and win via wide go-wide attacks before opponents stabilize.

The deck leans heavily on Borg and artifact creatures, with a secondary focus on assimilation effects that let you steal creatures from opponents' graveyards and turn them into Borgs too. Cards like Borg Cube and Assimilate the Wounded give you reanimation-theft hybrid value. You'll want mana ramp (artifact ramp especially, to cast more creatures) and cheap artifact creatures to maximize your attack triggers. Most games play out as a midrange race where you're generating more resources than your opponents can answer, then closing out with a large army.
