Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Slobad is all about protecting your artifacts while building a board presence that benefits from them. Your game plan revolves around playing artifact-heavy creatures and equipment, then using Slobad's ability to save your key pieces from removal or board wipes. This turns him into a defensive engine that keeps your threats alive while you chip away with creatures or set up a bigger payoff.

The deck wins by going wide with artifact tokens and creature synergies, or by assembling a combo finish with cards that reward artifact sacrifice and play. Slobad shines in decks that run lots of cheap artifacts—Artifact Tokens, sacrifice outlets, and cost-reduction effects make his activation essentially free while giving you real card value. Red's access to artifact tutors, cost-reduction effects like Goblin Welder, and sacrifice synergies means you're constantly grinding advantage and protecting your investment.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Use budget artifact token generators like Servo Exhibition and Talismanic Deluge over pricey stars; Goblin Welder is expensive, so try Dockside Extortionist or Goblin Engineer as cheaper alternatives.
