Legendary Creature — Human Artificer
Menace, haste Whenever Satya attacks, create a tapped and attacking token that's a copy of up to one other target nontoken creature you control. You get {E}{E} (two energy counters). At the beginning of the next end step, sacrifice that token unless you pay an amount of {E} equal to its mana value.
“Attack with copies, manage energy to keep the best ones.”
Satya, Aetherflux Genius is all about creating temporary copies of your best creatures to swing in for value, then deciding whether to keep them around by paying energy. The core gameplan is to build a deck full of high-impact creatures—especially ones with enters-the-battlefield effects or excellent attack triggers—so that when Satya copies them, you're doubling down on value. Each attack generates energy, which becomes your resource for deciding which copies to keep. This creates a dynamic, decision-rich game where you're managing energy, timing your attacks, and maximizing the payoff from copied creatures.
You'll want creatures that shine when they attack or enter the battlefield: think cards like Terror of Mount Velus, Impact Tremors, or Siege Rhino that give you immediate value. The energy generation fuels your copy-keeping strategy, while menace and haste make Satya itself a respectable threat early. Your win condition is typically commander damage combined with a growing army of copied creatures, though a go-wide strategy with many small copies can also close out games. The deck runs efficiently, applying consistent pressure while making incremental decisions each turn about which copies to bank.
