$0.67
Legendary Creature — Merfolk Wizard

Mono-blue artifact recursion that mills itself, recasts artifacts from the graveyard each turn, and wins with artifact combos.

Emry has affinity for artifacts, so she often costs just {U}, and she mills four cards when she enters. Tap her to choose an artifact card in your graveyard; you may cast it this turn, paying its costs. Cheap artifacts like Urza's Bauble, Lotus Petal and Mana Crypt become repeatable, and the deck builds around untappers and zero-cost pieces that turn the loop into mana, cards or a finished combo.
In the recorded games, Urza's Bauble loops and Mesmeric Orb fed the graveyard, while Paradox Engine, Isochron Scepter with Dramatic Reversal, and Painter's Servant with Grindstone were common combo lines. Mirran Spy and Chakram Retriever untapped Emry for repeated casts. Remand and other counterspells protected the turn, and Tormod's Crypt hit graveyard opponents. When the pieces lined up, it won quickly. When they did not, the deck played slow and could get stuck. Artifact removal, bounce and well-timed counterspells were the main answers, and land-based defenses held it off.
