Strategy
The Cyber-Controller is a mill-into-creatures engine that turns your opponents' discards into your army. You're milling opponents for value while simultaneously building a board of cheap artifact creatures, turning their graveyard into your resources. The strategy revolves around scaling X as high as possible to mill massive amounts of cards and create a swarm of Cybermen tokens that grow thanks to the lord effect. You win by either attacking with your ever-growing army of artifacts or by milling opponents out entirely if the creatures don't finish the job first.
Your gameplan involves ramp and cost reduction to cast The Cyber-Controller for high X values repeatedly, then support your artifact swarm with synergies that reward you for playing artifacts. Include mill payoffs, cost-reduction effects, and token doublers to maximize your token generation. The deck is naturally grindy—you're generating incremental value each turn while your opponents struggle to deal with a growing board that's literally made from their own libraries.
