Commander: Dr. Madison Licommander
Deck description
Science! is a Jeskai (blue-red-white) artifact commander deck led by Dr. Madison Li, turning every artifact spell into energy counters that later convert into burst damage, card draw, or direct artifact recursion. The list plays like an engines-and-upgrades toolbox: early mana rocks and utility artifacts accelerate into value pieces such as Mystic Forge, Panharmonicon, and token makers, while large threats like Liberty Prime, Recharged and The Prydwen, Steel Flagship provide the muscle to close games. Games tend to progress at a steady midrange pace, with plenty of table interaction through efficient removal like Swords to Plowshares, Dispatch, Crush Contraband, and a sweeping reset in Austere Command. Resilience comes from multiple ways to rebuild after a wipe, including Open the Vaults, Wake the Past, and Dr. Madison Li’s ability to return key artifacts from the graveyard. Players who enjoy sequencing, resource management, and incremental upgrades will find easy paths to tune the deck with more cheap artifacts, additional energy payoffs, or stronger artifact tutors.
