Saheeli, Radiant Creator

Temur value-engine that turns repeated artifact and Artificer casts into bursty combat steps via energy-fueled temporary copies.

Public decks: 0Bracket: Varies

Overview

Wants a steady stream of artifact and Artificer spells to stockpile energy counters over several turns.
Uses the start-of-combat trigger to convert energy into a hasty 5/5 artifact creature copy of one of your own permanents for a single-turn swing.
Plays like a board-development deck early, then pivots into explosive combat turns once you can reliably pay {E}{E}{E}.
Often rewards picking high-impact permanents to copy, since the token keeps the original’s abilities while gaining power, haste, and artifact status.
Typically closes games by chaining multiple combat steps of big hasty copies, or by repeatedly copying a permanent that creates a snowballing advantage.

Develop your board while casting artifacts/Artificers incidentally to bank energy without spending mana on the payoff.
Move into combat with {E}{E}{E} available, copy your best permanent, and use the hasty 5/5 body to pressure planeswalkers or life totals.
Use the temporary copy as a one-turn spike in damage or value, accepting the end-step sacrifice as part of the plan.
In longer games, keep casting into energy and treat the combat trigger as a repeatable finisher that demands answers.

Creates a repeatable, hard-to-ignore combat payoff that doesn’t require tapping Saheeli or additional mana to trigger.
Scales with the quality of your permanents: the better your board, the more threatening each {E}{E}{E} becomes.
Good at converting incremental spellcasting into sudden pressure, forcing opponents to respect your combat step.
Flexibility in targets lets you pivot between offense and utility depending on what you control.

Needs a critical mass of artifact/Artificer casting to generate energy; slow starts can make the commander feel low-impact.
The key payoff is telegraphed at the beginning of combat, giving opponents a window to interact before the copy happens.
Tokens are temporary and get sacrificed, so you can struggle to maintain board presence if your key permanents are removed.
Can be vulnerable to repeated removal or disruption that keeps your best copy targets off the table.

This commander can produce sudden, bursty combat damage once energy is online; call out if your list is tuned to end games quickly through combat spikes.
Let the table know whether you’re built more as artifact-value midrange or as a dedicated combo-esque engine around the copy trigger.
Clarify how much interaction and disruption you’re running, since the deck’s feel can range from fair board deck to highly optimized engine.

Midrange creature pods where repeated hasty 5/5 copies can win combats and race effectively.
Tables that give you time to build a board and accrue energy without heavy early pressure.
Pods light on instant-speed interaction, where your combat trigger is more likely to resolve.

Fast combo tables that end the game before energy and a meaningful board are established.
Heavy control pods with lots of instant-speed removal/counters that can break up the combat trigger or remove key targets.
Decks that repeatedly clear the board, leaving you without worthwhile permanents to copy.

Do I have to pay {E}{E}{E} every combat?

No. The trigger gives you the option, so you can save energy for a higher-impact turn or when you can protect the play.

What can the token copy?

Any permanent you control can be targeted, and the token keeps the original’s abilities while also being a 5/5 artifact creature with haste.

Does the copy stick around?

No. The token is sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step, so treat it as a one-turn burst of value or damage.

Is the deck more about artifacts or combat?

It often plays as artifacts/Artificers for energy generation, then leverages that resource to create explosive combat turns with hasty copies.
