Dr. Eggman

Gameplan

Dr. Eggman is a Grixis artifact-tribal value engine: each end step you draw a card, then a villainous choice forces opponents to either hemorrhage cards or let you cheat a Construct, Robot, or Vehicle straight onto the battlefield. Build a deck stuffed with big artifact creatures and Vehicles so the 'free permanent' side is always backbreaking, flood the board, and grind the table out with sheer card and mana advantage before swinging for lethal.

Key Cards

• Steel Hellkite — A flying Construct you can drop for free off the villainous choice that also sweeps tokens and permanents.
• Wurmcoil Engine — A massive lifegain-and-deathtouch Construct that's a nightmare to give an opponent for free.
• Smothering Tithe — Stacks extra resources with Eggman's draws and punishes the table for the cards he forces them to draw and use.
• Parhelion II — A game-ending Vehicle you can cheat into play for free, then crew for an army of Angels.
• Combat Celebrant — Pairs with evasive artifact creatures to enable lethal extra-combat alpha strikes.
• Goblin Welder — Recurs and swaps artifacts you've put into play, turning every end step into a value loop.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and artifact ramp (Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, Mind Stone) so you can land Eggman early and cast the cards opponents 'choose' to let you keep in hand. Lean into the highest-impact free targets — Blightsteel Colossus, Combat Celebrant, and game-ending Vehicles — plus Goblin Welder and Daretti loops to recur them. Tighten the mana with on-color fixing and Urza/Karn-style artifact payoffs to convert your card advantage into a faster, more resilient kill.
