Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer

📖 How to build Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer

Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer is a five-mana Izzet artifact creature that makes a 2/1 blue Phyrexian Myr artifact creature token at the beginning of combat on your turn. Afterward, you may choose one token you control and turn each other token you control into a copy of it, so a wide board of small tokens can quickly become a uniform army. Because it gives all your creature tokens haste, new tokens can attack the turn they arrive, and the plan is to build a growing token force that swings right away.

Build around cheap ways to make or copy tokens, artifacts that support the Phyrexian tribal theme, and cards that keep your engine running. Rhystic Study and Brainstorm help you find and fuel your pieces. Counterspell, Arcane Denial, Negate, Deflecting Swat, Fierce Guardianship, and Swan Song can protect Brudiclad from interference, while Cyclonic Rift, An Offer You Can't Refuse, Chaos Warp, and Blasphemous Act give you ways to answer threats.

Watch out for the fact that Brudiclad is a creature, so removal aimed at it stops the token engine before it generates value. The engine also depends on reaching your beginning of combat, so interaction or tapping effects that stop your turn can slow it down. Copying is optional, but when you use it, every other token takes on the chosen token's characteristics. Sweepers such as Blasphemous Act also hit your own tokens, so overextending into a wide board carries risk.
