Strategy
Meria is an artifact-focused ramp and card advantage engine that turns your artifact mana rocks into both acceleration and selection. The core gameplan is to build a board of cheap artifacts, then use Meria's tap abilities to generate extra mana and dig through your library for threats or answers. You're essentially converting artifact creatures and tokens into green mana while also fixing your draw, letting you play bigger spells faster and hit your threats on curve. The deck wins through sheer value—you'll generate enough resources and card advantage to outpace the table with impactful plays, whether that's token swarms, big creatures, or explosive red/green finishers. The redundancy of artifact mana sources means Meria gives you multiple tools every turn cycle.

Budget Build
