Liberty Prime, Recharged

Gameplan

Liberty Prime is a 5-mana Jeskai energy engine on a body: keep it fed with energy so it can attack and block freely, and use its sacrifice-an-artifact ability to convert spare artifacts into energy and cards. You build an artifact-heavy battlefield, generate a steady stream of , and grind out value while swinging with a vigilant, trampling, hasty beater. Win by going wide/tall with artifacts, looping recursion fodder for cards and energy, or assembling an energy-fueled combo or big mana payoff.

Key Cards

• Aetherworks Marvel — Sacrifices itself for value and turns banked energy into free spells, a perfect Liberty Prime payoff.
• Decoction Module — Generates energy whenever creatures or artifacts enter, keeping Liberty Prime fed for combat.
• Aetherflux Reservoir — Converts your incidental life and energy-driven engine into a one-shot kill across the table.
• Ledger Shredder — Cheap evasive engine—stand-in for any cheap artifact-fodder generator that fuels the sacrifice ability.
• Aether Hub — Fixes Jeskai mana while topping off energy reserves to keep Liberty Prime attacking.
• Mishra's Bauble — Free artifact to sac for energy and a card, ideal cheap fodder for the activated ability.
• Whirler Rogue — Produces multiple Thopter artifacts to feed the sacrifice engine and provide evasion.
• Energy Refractor — Cheap artifact that banks energy and can itself be sacrificed for more, fueling the whole plan.

Upgrade Path

Tighten the energy package around true payoffs (Aetherworks Marvel, Aetherflux Reservoir, Decoction Module) and cheap fodder generators so Liberty Prime never goes hungry. Add fast mana and efficient artifact tutors like Whir of Invention or Inventors' Fair, plus protection such as Lightning Greaves to keep your commander on the board. Lean into a compact combo finish (energy storage into Marvel/Reservoir) to give the grindy engine a decisive closer.
