Assimilate Engine with Mage Torturer

This deck revolves around maximizing Assimilate triggers by using Mage Torturer as a core engine. The strategy involves spawning additional Mage Torturers via Operator, allowing Illusionist to create a fresh Assimilate engine every time you trigger the ability.

Key Mechanics & Card Synergies:

Operator spawns a Mage Torturer in both players' decks, enabling you to create multiple Assimilate engines.

Illusionist benefits from having Mage Torturer in the graveyard, allowing for continuous engine spam.

Cursed Scroll helps fetch Operator or Mage Torturer if they’re not in your hand.

Slave Driver can create additional Illusionists, further fueling Assimilate triggers.

Dwimveandra is an underrated Assimilate enabler, since it can reset artifacts to trigger the ability again.

Additional Considerations:

If your opponent also runs Mage Torturers (especially in a Nilfgaard mirror match), you don’t need to use Operator—just steal or resurrect theirs!

This deck leans heavily into greed with minimal control, making it more of a high-risk, high-reward meme rather than a meta powerhouse.

Core Assimilate Package:

Coup de Grâce – Key for triggering Assimilate and replaying engines.

Artaud Terranova – Premium Assimilate unit, perfect for copying key enemy cards.

Braathens – Instant Assimilate trigger with a strong low-cost play.

Artorius Vigo – Generates additional Assimilate units for flexibility.

Glynnis aep Loernach – A strong value Assimilate engine if left unchecked.

Meta Considerations:

Keep 1-2 meta cards for flexibility, especially if you need some removal or control. If you’re looking for a fun, engine-heavy approach, this deck provides a unique Assimilate looping experience!
