Strategy
Szarekh, the Silent King is a flying artifact creature that mills while attacking, letting you tutor artifact creatures and Vehicles directly into your hand. Your gameplan is to turn Szarekh into a consistent threat that doesn't just deal damage—it fuels your graveyard and grows your hand with gas. You're playing a midrange control deck that uses the mill trigger as an engine: each attack mills three cards, effectively giving you card advantage by cherry-picking artifacts and Vehicles.
The deck wins through a combination of commander damage and artifact synergies. You want to protect Szarekh with evasion and board wipes, attack often, and use the milled artifacts to build value. Include artifact creatures like Solemn Simulacrum and Plague Titan, along with Vehicles like Skysovereign and Parhelion II to ensure your mill triggers always hit payoff cards. Support this with ramp, card draw, and targeted removal so you maintain tempo while grinding toward victory.
