Sami, Ship's Engineer

Sami, Ship's Engineer rewards you for tapping creatures, turning your utility and combat investments into a steady stream of Robot tokens. The deck leans into effects that tap creatures as part of their abilities—think mana dorks, card draw engines, and utility creatures—so you're naturally generating value while advancing your game plan. Since Sami creates tapped tokens, you'll want to untap strategies or simply accept that your Robots come into play ready to block or sacrifice, which opens up neat synergies with aristocrats-style payoffs.

Your win condition is typically a wide board of Robots that attack as a swarm, occasionally backed by anthem effects or direct damage. The beauty is that Sami is low-maintenance: you just play creatures that tap for mana or effects, and the tokens accumulate. Consider pairing her with creatures that want to tap (like Adorned Palisade or other Boros utility creatures), cards that untap permanents (Teferi's Protection effects, though pricey), or sacrifice outlets that turn your token army into engine fuel. This keeps the deck flowing without requiring a heavy combo investment.
