Akiri, Line-Slinger card art
Akiri, Line-Slinger turns an artifact-heavy board into a first-strike threat that scales without spending additional mana — the damage output is free once the engine is running. Pair her with Chthonian Nightmare to recur artifacts and keep her power climbing, or run her under General Ferrous Rokiric where every multicolor spell floods the board with Golems that double as her stat pump.

General Ferrous Rokiric generates a Golem token for every multicolor spell cast, and Akiri, Line-Slinger converts that token accumulation directly into first-strike power — the two cards share the same axis of 'cast spells, grow the board, swing wide.'

Commander is where Akiri, Line-Slinger lives — 100-card singleton games give artifact decks the density they need to make her power count, and the multiplayer format means first strike across a wide board is a genuine political deterrent. In Legacy and Vintage she's technically legal but completely outclassed; neither format has any interest in a two-mana creature whose ceiling depends on artifact count rather than raw efficiency. Oathbreaker could support her in a dedicated artifacts shell, but the compressed 60-card singleton environment limits how high her power realistically climbs.
