How this commander wants to play

Scientist Supreme is a clever copycat that turns artifact abilities into repeatable value engines. Your game plan revolves around loading the battlefield with artifact sources—creatures with activated abilities, mana rocks, equipment, and artifact lands—then repeatedly cloning their best effects for just two life. Think of it as a blue-black control deck that generates incremental advantage: copy a mana ability to ramp, copy a draw trigger to dig for threats, copy damage output to pressure opponents. You win by accumulating resources and slowly grinding opponents down through card advantage and tempo.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive utility artifacts like Azorius Signet; use basic mana rocks like Talisman of Dominance and free copies from Thada Adel, Acquisitor or constructed cheap artifact creatures. Plan Enchantments from MSH add redundancy without breaking the bank.
