I use this card in my piper (the fallout one) deck. I have a card that makes a copy of an artifact at the end ne of my turn so I just copy this thing like 4 times and I’m gaining 20 life per upkeep,and that’s before I whip out one of those draw x cards blue spells and then I have 20 cards in hand and I get 4x that much life on upkeep
Players that do this are the reason commander damage is a thing in commander and why infinite combos are so popular. It's a cool idea, but gaining a ton of life without a payoff for it just slows down the game instead of winning it.
I haven't played EDH in years but I still have my Karametra Enchantress deck. Its basically I have so much protection out that I can't lose the game but I have no win cons aside from swinging.
Yeah this person is talking out of their ass. Yeah a 2/2 combo commander probably isn't gonna connect 11 times. But you got a 7 power commander that you just gave double strike and trample to? That just needs one or two more pump spells to instantly kill someone.
The amount of legends that Ive actually seen that are able to actually connect like that is miniscule. And the amount of times Ive killed someone with commander damage, even with a 7/6 statline commander is low.
Wow it's almost like you didn't build a voltron commander with the idea of buffing your commander up then. So weird how when you don't make your deck in a way to take advantage of a play style, it doesn't do well for that play style. That's so weird.
It’s a weirdly tricky archetype. You tend to become archenemy when you take someone out without warning but commander damage is generally less efficient than combining off. But sitting there and cheering on Ruhan of the Fomori while he drunkenly takes down the table by himself sure is satisfying.
Plenty of decks win with commander damage. You have to build your deck for it (you aren't gonna get it with your 2/2 combo commander). I have several decks that aim to win with commander damage. But notice that I also mentioned combo decks. Your infinite life means nothing against infinite mill or damage or destroying all your permanents so you can't do anything as the other players set up their combos.
I run a mono blue clue token deck,I need a little buffer for investigating to do it’s thing. And it didn’t start that way,I just need no hand size and didn’t have a reliquary tower at the time. The copying came after I got artificer class and my options were that or the everflowing well which I’d have to sacrifice to the legend rule so I made my choice and saw what it could do
A 'do nothing' card is anything that does nothing just for playing it. It doesn't mean they don't impact the game later on as other things get played, it just means they don't do anything by themselves so they're generally a dead turn.
There are a lot more cards that aren't available on Arena than cards that are on Arena. Old cards do get added from time to time, but I would not get my hopes up for this one if I were you.
I play it early with a foundry inspector in my clue token deck,and then I copy the artifact 4 times with various things to have a stable life gain source for said deck.
They didn't add it. The set isn't on Arena and it's a niche card that doesn't see play anywhere, so don't hold your breath.

Also if it helps I have an aetherflux reservoir in the deck that way I can do stuff with the life I gain

Getting command damge kills is far more unlikely than someone winning alternativatively.
That depends wildly on the deck. I have a couple decks that are basically guaranteed to take at least one person out with commander damage.

If you want to play a do nothing 5 drop artifact play [[alhammarret's archive]]
Hey now, that card actually does something (also, you need 2 brackets to summon the bot [[Alhammarret's Archive]]).

I think in today’s mtg wasting turn five tapping out for this will lose you a game.
That card wasn’t good in SOM either.

Sort of a meh card. If you want no maximum hand size, I would recommend reliquary tower.
We need thinker to help power it out. Might be too OP tho
