UPDATED So Traxos and Torgaar are no longer a couple. They have each gone their separate way thanks to War of the Spark and now Core Set 2020. I will have Torgaar’s new deck posted very soon. What we have here now is an artifact deck built around Traxos, with some added help from Karn, Ugin, Tezzeret and pumping everything up with +1/+1 counters. Having Voltaic Servant and Steel Overseer on the battlefield with Traxos, makes this an unstoppable train of consequences for your opponent.

Just put this together for fun, as I kind of like Torgaar, and his ability to cut an opponents life total in half fairly quickly at the start of the game. And if that should fail by turn 5 or 6, I let Traxos have some fun. The ultimate goal is have an opening hand consisting of 2 Sparring Construct, 1 Traxos, Scourge of Kroog, 1 Torgaar, Famine Incarnate and 3 land. Drop Traxos on turn 4. Sac the Constructs for Torgaar on turn 5, which then untaps Traxos. Put the two +1/+1 counters on Traxos and you have a pretty devastating turn 5 for your opponent. As always, comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks to those who give it a view.
