Even after the Great War reduced the United States of America to a nuclear wasteland, mankind never returned to the Dark Ages. Much was lost, of course, but the march of progress continued as new generations of scientists struggled to heal the ravaged wasteland... while others worked dilligently to build even more effective weapons of war. These scientists, and their projects, are the theme of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering's Science! commander deck.

Just like🐓 the scientists in the Fallout franchise mix ancient ൲technology with new innovations, the Science! deck combines new cards with old mechanics that reward you for taking the time to stockpile resources and trust technology to thrive in the in the wasteland and at the game table.

Science! Commander Deck List

Here's the full deck l🌺ist, organized by card type.

Science! Commander Deck Themes

The primary theme of the Science! deck is artifacts. This deck wants to stockpile artifacts and then reward you for your growing collection of advanced technology. With severa♏l ways to play artifacts from your graveyard and return them from your hand, plus ways to copy them and🃏 the return of Fortifications after a 17-year hiatus, you'll have no problem winning the artifact arms race.

The secondary theme is energy counters, last seen in 2017's Aether Revolt. There are several new ways to create and spend energy counters, and the commander, Dr. Madison Li, provides support for both themes by generating ene🎃rgy every time an artifact enters the battlefield under you𒁃r control.

The deck contains two potential commanders, but Dr. Madison Li is the only one that supports both the artifact and energy themes. The only other potential commander, Liberty Prime, Recharged, requires energy to both attack and block, and can only generate energy by sacrificing your other artifacts.

While this is u💖seful in a pinch, in an artifacts matter deck you'll get much more value out of Dr. Madison Li's passive energy generation than from Liberty Prime, Recharged's parasitic versio🌱n.

Science! Commander Deck Analysis

The Science! deck focuses heavily on artifacts, and does an excellent job of making use of them. With an astounding ten mana rocks and two creatures which can generate mana as well, you'll rarely struggle with mana unless you can't draw lands for the first several turns. It also features both active and passive energy generation, including HELIOS One, the first land that can be tapped for energy. And it contains a solid collection of offensive, defensive, and utility creatures for almost any situation.

Perhaps representing the scientists' hesitance to fall back on the same weapons that were used in the Great War, the Science! deck is sorely lacking in mass removal, containing only Austere Command as a mass removal option. While it does contain several spot removal options, such as Swords to Plowshares and Crush Contraband, the deck is likely t𝓰o be overrun by fast, creature-heavy decks.

The best way to upgrade most preconstructed decks is to narrow the focus to a single theme, and Science! is no exception. The ♓deck as it arrives is split between artifacts and energy, with some overlap.

"Artifacts matter" is a particularly strong archetype, with commanders like Urza, Lord High Artificer at the houndꦏs, but no effective energy commanders exist outside the Science! deck. In order to keep the deck unique, focus on the energy theme and narrow the artifact theme.

Both Bobbleheads, the Overflowing Chalice, and Thought Vessel are solid cards, but there are better mana rocks available, especially in the three-mana range. Path of Ancestry is similarly a good card, but with less than a third of the creatures sharing a type wi༺th the commander, it won't have much use eꦓxcept as a mana fixer, but entering the battlefield tapped slows it down.

Wayfarer's Bauble and Terramorphic Expanse, and Evolving Wilds all function to thin the deck and fetch the basic land you need for whatever color you're short on, but they're redundant enough and there are enough other mana options that you can safely cut two, leaving one of the lands in place and replacing the other. One can be directly upgraded, and Unexpected Windfall can similarly be replaced with a direct upgrade.

Nick Valentine, Private Eye, Expert-Level Safe, and Curie, Emergent Intelligence are all decent draw cards, but tend to be clunky and can easily be replaced with better draw options. Overencumbered is thematic to the Fallout setting, but there are multiple recent archetypes that focus on the tokens it provides to your 🍰opponent, making it potentially more helpful to your opponen🌄t than to you.

Red Death, Shipwrecker doesn't fit the theme of the deck except as a mana producer, and can easily be replaced with an artifact creature with the same basic function which also interacts with your artifact theme. Brotherhood Vertibird can also be replaced as you scale down the artifact th🦩eme.

C.A.M.P. is an interesting card, but it ꧃takes six mana to play and equip, and the junk tokens become l꧙ess useful as you focus more on energy.

Science! Commander Deck Budget Upgrades

This deck wants to spread itself thin between two themes, but by trimming the fat and doubling-down on the energy theme, it can get a little power boost and feel more unique at the same time. Since it already has several excellent ways to spend energy, we'll largely focus on generating additional energy. Fortunately, these cards are available to 🌳even the most budget-consci𒈔ous player!

Jeskai Ascendancy, Emry, Lurker of the Loch, and any zero-mana artifact that sacrifices itself form an infinite combo that can buff your creatures for the final swing. This can happen as early as turn two with a Sol Ring and🌃 Arcane Signet on turn one, or can be used for unlimited energy with Dr. Madison Li in play.

Other Upgrade Options

• Gonti's Aether Heart and Aetherworks Marvel both net extra energy as permanents enter and leave the battlefield, respectively, with secondary effects of getting an extra turn or cheating a big spell out of your library.
• Additional counter options, such as Negate, Cancel, and Rewind allow you more interaction with your opponents' decks and more protection for you own.
• Academy Manufacturer will create extra food, clue, or treasure tokens whenever you create any. Paired with Nuka-Cola Vending Machine, you'll soon be swimming in tokens. It's an excellent option if you decide to lean into the artifact side of the deck.
