Painter vs Jeskai Artifacts
Updated todayJeskai Artifacts relies on Goblin Welder and Goblin Engineer to recur key artifacts from the graveyard, so Tormod's Crypt strips that resource entirely and Pithing Needle can shut down a repeating activated ability like Goblin Welder's tap ability. Disruptor Flute can tax out their Emry, Lurker of the Loch or Goblin Engineer to slow their engine. Metallic Rebuke is a weak include here since they can easily out-artifact us and pay the tax, and the cantrip Baubles are lower priority than direct disruption of their recursion shell. This is a mirror-adjacent matchup, so prioritize disrupting their graveyard/artifact recursion loop over racing on board.
