"Unveiling the Rise of the MTG Hardened Scales Archetype in Standard!"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by MTG Rocks

A unique Gruul Artifacts archetype has emerged in the Standard format of Magic: The Gathering, utilizing the strategy of growing creatures by playing artifacts. The deck features creatures like Patchwork Automaton, Teething Wurmlet, and Syr Ginger, which grow in size as more artifacts are played. Cheap artifacts such as Gingerbrute, Experimental Synthesizer, and Mishra's Research Desk are crucial to the deck's success. The deck's strength lies in its efficiency and ability to race against control decks, but it struggles against board wipes and cheap removal. Overall, the archetype shows promise and offers a fresh take on the Hardened Scales playstyle.
