Strategy
Pia and Kiran Nalaar is a token generator that wants to flood the board with flying Thopters and then sacrifice them for damage. Your core gameplan is simple: cast Pia, make two fliers, then use the sacrifice ability as repeatable removal or a way to finish opponents. You'll want lots of ways to make more artifact tokens—think Tezzeret, Goblin Engineer, or other token producers—so you always have fuel for the pinger.
The deck leans into artifact synergies and goes-wide strategies. Cards that reward you for sacrificing artifacts (like Goblin Welder, Makeshift Munitions, or Disciple of the Vault) turn your tokens into value engines. You can also lean into Voltron-lite by pumping Pia itself with equipment, or just go full tokens-and-sacrifice, treating the commander as a utility piece rather than the main threat. Either way, you're dealing chip damage while building a board presence that's hard to block.
