Machine Man, Model X-51

Machine Man is a lightweight artifact creature that transforms every noncreature spell you cast into a growing threat. Each instant or sorcery pumps him with a +1/+1 counter and gives him flying for the turn, turning card draw, removal, and utility spells into incremental damage. The deck wants to lean hard into cheap, efficient noncreature spells—cantrips, board wipes, ramp, and interaction—so you're constantly triggering his ability while building toward a critical mass of power. You win by dealing 21 commander damage through a combination of counter growth, evasion via flying, and the inevitable chip damage that accumulates as you cast spells throughout the game.
