10How to Play

Opening hand

Keep hands with three lands and two cheap mana Myr. Urtet on turn two or three gets the token engine started.

1

Early gameturns 1-3

Cast Urtet, then mana Myr like Copper Myr and Silver Myr for tokens.

2

Mid gameturns 4-7

Add Myr Turbine, Myr Galvanizer or Tempered Steel, and use Urtet's pump once you have all five colors.

3

Late gameturn 8+

Pump every Myr with Urtet and attack, or win with Lux Artillery or Mechanized Production.

Tips

  • Urtet untaps your Myr at the beginning of combat, so tap mana Myr in your first main phase, then attack with them.
  • Urtet's pump needs all five colors, and your mana Myr provide them.
  • Myr tokens count for Urtet's pump and Lux Artillery.
  • Myr Propagator copies count as Myr for Kindred Discovery.

Common mistakes

  • Tapping Myr for mana after combat begins.
  • Wiping with Organic Extinction while you rely on nonartifact creatures.
  • Overextending into artifact wipes without Darksteel Forge.
  • Forgetting Urtet's pump works only on your turn.

Watch out for

  • Artifact wipes.
  • Removal on Urtet.
  • Effects that stop tokens.
  • Fliers your Myr can't block.
