Tidus, Blitzball Star

Tidus is a compact threat that rewards you for playing artifacts while grinding opponents down with repeated taps. Your game plan is straightforward: assemble a small board of cheap artifacts, watch Tidus grow into a legitimate threat, and use his attack trigger to lock down opposing blockers or key creatures turn after turn. Since he only costs three mana, you can set up the engine quickly and start pressuring opponents before they stabilize.

The deck leverages artifact synergies to maximize value—think mana rocks that fix your colors, token generators, and cheap cantrips that double as artifacts. Cards like Sigil of the Empty Throne and Puresteel Paladin create additional velocity, while equipment makes Tidus harder to block and keeps him relevant even if he gets bounced. You're aiming for a tempo-focused midrange strategy: deploy threats, grow Tidus exponentially, and use his tap ability to control the board until you can push through for commander damage or a token army.
