Legendary Creature — Human Artificer
Each creature that's attacking one of your opponents has trample. {G}, {T}: You may put a creature or Vehicle card from your hand onto the battlefield. If you put an artifact onto the battlefield this way, put two +1/+1 counters on it.
“Green artifact critter that cheats Vehicles onto the battlefield with counters.”
Oviya, Automech Artisan is a green artifact creature generator that wants to cheat creatures and Vehicles onto the battlefield while pumping them with counters. Your game plan is to build a modest board of artifact creatures and Vehicles, use Oviya's activated ability to flash them in during combat, and then swing for steady damage while forcing your opponents' creatures to attack into trample-equipped blockers. You're playing a creature-focused midrange deck that ramps into bigger threats and disrupts combat math with your board advantage.
The deck wins through consistent combat damage and gradual attrition. You're not trying to go off in one turn—instead, you're grinding out value by churning Vehicles and artifact creatures into play, applying pressure, and letting your +1/+1 counters pile up over several turns. Oviya's trample ability helps your creatures slip through blockers, and the artifact synergy lets you run efficient cards like Marrow Shards or Solemn Simulacrum that double as mana and board presence.

Skip expensive Constructs and Vehicles; use budget Artifacts like Servo tokens, Gingerbrute, and Ornithopter to trigger Oviya's ability for fraction of the cost.
