Dr. Madison Li — Energy-Powered Artifacts Deck Description

At the helm of this deck is Dr. Madison Lifoil, a genius engineer whose loyalty to science and technology fuels a deadly synergy between artifacts and Energy counters. This build thrives on generating Energy at a steady clip, then converting it into massive board advantage, scaling counters, or direct damage.

Unlike all-in combo decks, Madison Li’s design plays like a value midrange engine: it snowballs advantage through artifact recursion, Energy loops, and scaling counter engines. Small artifacts fuel the machine, while Energy production unlocks increasingly powerful effects, eventually overwhelming the table through combat pressure or explosive payoffs.

The theme is tight: artifacts empower energy, energy empowers artifacts.

Power Players

Core Cards

Dr. Madison Lifoil — The commander herself ties everything together, turning Energy into card advantage and artifact fuel.

Brotherhood Scribe — A deceptively strong role-player, pumping the entire board whenever Energy is gained.

Dynavolt Tower — Repeatable Energy-to-damage conversion, doubling as removal and a finisher.

Aetherworks Marvel — Explosive high-roll potential; every Energy burst can lead to free spells.

Solar Array — A unique scaling piece: turns artifacts into Sunburst engines for extra +1/+1 or charge counters.

Everflowing Chalice — A premier artifact for Solar Array, entering with multiple charge counters while scaling mana.

Electrostatic Pummeler — One of the deck’s fastest combat-based Energy payoffs.

Combos

Synergistic Engines

Brotherhood Scribe + Energy gainers → Turns routine Energy generation into combat-wide buffs each turn.

Everflowing Chalice + Solar Array → Chalice becomes hyper-efficient, producing multiple charge counters and scaling mana output absurdly fast.

Aetherworks Marvel + Energy bursts → Converts Energy spikes into free haymakers.

Dynavolt Tower + instant/sorcery package → Every spell becomes both card advantage and damage.

Fabrication Module + Energy → Steady board growth from even small Energy trickles.

Metalwork Colossus + artifacts → Free, repeatable threat leveraging excess artifacts.

Electrostatic Pummeler + Energy bursts → Can swing for lethal out of nowhere.

Brotherhood Scribe + multiple triggers in a turn → Converts every Energy gain into pseudo-Overrun.

Win Conditions

Primary Paths to Victory

Wide-board buffs from Brotherhood Scribe into alpha strikes.

Energy burn:

Dynavolt Tower picks off opponents or finishes games without needing to attack.

Artifact scaling:

Solar Array + Everflowing Chalice or other Sunburst targets snowball into overwhelming resource advantages.

Free-spell swing turns:

Summary

This artifact-energy hybrid deck is built to generate, store, and weaponize Energy counters while using artifacts as both enablers and payoffs.

Where other decks might flood the board recklessly, Madison Li builds momentum carefully, letting small artifacts and incremental Energy snowball into inevitability. By mid-to-late game, the deck can pivot: either swarm the battlefield with buffed creatures, convert Energy directly into damage, or leverage artifact scaling engines into unstoppable mana and counter advantage.

Just like her namesake, Dr. Madison Li doesn’t waste resources—she refines them into brilliance.
