Dino - Darklord Artifact [Low Rogue]

Power: Low Rogue (6.7/10) - Legal Link Evolution Darklord Artifact control. It grinds with Banishment, Contact, Sanctified, Condemned Darklord, and Artifact Sanctum, but stays Low Rogue because Scythe is Forbidden and Darklords can still open heavy.

Consistency: Cleaner than the old version. Banishment, Ixchel, Ukoback, Amdusc, Nasten, Allure, Foolish, Desires, and Called by help reach engine pieces, while Trade-In is trimmed to one so the list is not leaning on too few Level 8 targets.

Ceiling: Moderate. Sanctum now summons legal interaction through Lancea or Moralltach, while Darklord lines set up Sanctified, Superbia follow-up, Condemned searches, and Kristya pressure. The Extra Deck adds Rank 8s, I:P into Unicorn, Borrelsword, and Super Poly targets.

Recovery: Good when the GY is live. Contact revives Darklords, Superbia extends boards, Amdusc/Ixchel recycle or dig, and Sanctified gives repeatable negation/life gain. Banish effects and graveyard hate are the hardest checks.

Going first/second: Better going first. Open with Banishment or Ixchel lines, set Sanctum or Sanctified, then pressure with Kristya or Condemned Darklord. Going second, side into Nibiru, Droll, Super Poly, backrow removal, Pankratops, Gameciel, and Evenly Matched.

Choke points: Stop Banishment, interrupt Condemned Darklord, banish Superbia or Contact targets, remove Sanctum before it resolves, or keep the GY from becoming a second hand.

Key cards: Banishment, Ixchel, Nasten, Superbia, Contact, Sanctified Darklord, Condemned Darklord, Artifact Sanctum, Artifact Lancea, Artifact Moralltach, Archlord Kristya.

Key combos: Banishment finds Ixchel, Contact, or Sanctified. Ixchel discards a Darklord card to draw and load the GY. Contact revives Superbia, which revives another Fairy. Sanctum summons Lancea for banish control or Moralltach for removal. Condemned converts spare Fairies into a search, and Kristya rewards a stocked Fairy GY.
