Liquimetal Coating is used to change non-artifacts into artifacts and allow the rest of the deck to pick off the opponents cards towards superior card advantage. in order to slow the game down to build towards the 4 dragons. Extra burn helps keep the opponent's board clean, and supply the extra damage boost to seal the win. Updated 4/19 Dumping the Spellbombs and changing the Wall of Vines into Overgrown Battlements. This might let me mainboard some more burn and throw in some more reliable ramp. i want to make sure I stall enough to have the end game mana to really abuse the Dragons.

I know its expensive, but have you thought about sideboarding or possibly even mainboarding Relic Crush? http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewCard_Popup.aspx?CardName=Relic%20Crush&Edition=ZEN&Print=1

I had, I wasn't sure if it was worth the mana cost. I'm definitely wavering on the Viridian Revels, and could see adding a couple Relic Crushes in for those just for some extra punch.
i dont think using liquimetals to turn your own permanents into artifacts to use metalcraft spells like galvanic blast would be smart, only because if you do that then you are burning your decks main effect on one or two spells, when you can kill a few permanents a turn when you have like 6 mana.
Liquimetal targets any permanent, not just yours. Therefore you can change ANYTHING into an artifact and use naturalize/shatter etc to destroy it, this includes lands, planeswalkers, creatures... anything
@Tambornegro: I think that was why i went against the Galvanic Blasts. The only artifacts I'm going to have permanently in play are Liquimetals and Mimic Vats. The odds I'm going to have 3 out in the early game didn't seem to outweigh the possibly of that extra 1 damage. That's why I initially slotted that space for Lightning Bolts. @magsato: That's basically the idea. If the combo goes off early enough, i can keep my opponent from having any permanents by limiting land as well. Effectively, i think the most common win condition for me is a combination of burn plus the Liquimetal + (naturalize, sacrificing creatures) opening up a path for my dragons to fly in without any chance at repercussions.
You could possibly lose the viridians cause once u destroy their perm it is no longer a artifact dci judge level 2 told me so.
Really?, I'd definitely get rid of them if so. Gatherer didn't have a ruling for the card, anyone else know if this is the case?
That judge lied to you. It hits the graveyard as an artifact, then immediately loses the artifact characteristic. It's the same principle with tokens. They hit the graveyard, then immediately cease to exist.
Also maybe voltic keys for a double whammy exspecially when mimic vat is kickin a relic crusher or whatever

Fugim, Thanks for the link. I see that we have similar ideas about the overall concept, and you definitely had a couple suggestions I hadn't thought of, namely Ancient Stirrings. That's a quick way for me to search for my LMs, or a land and keep my ramp up. You also mentioned the Replicas, which i added a week back or so once i found out the Viridian Revels didn't really count. I hadn't thought of the life staff though, that's something I might consider as well. My main goal with this version of the LM deck is to prevent myself from running out of ways to kill off artifacts, and Mimic Vat was definitely my main choice. The idea that i could get Scrapmelters in on demand for only 3 mana. My version is definitely more burn than creatures, which is why I shied away from the jorgas and the Slimes (I'm also trying to keep the deck as "new", SOM only, as possible). I've done some decent testing, and the deck held up and beat a Quest-WW deck (Argentum Armor, Sword of Body and Mind, etc). Pyroclasms were definitely huge there. Right now, I'm considering switching out the spellbombs, 1 Bolt, and 1 naturalize for 3 Stirrings and 3 Slice in Twains.
i would drop 3x Horizon Spellbomb for 3x overgrown battelment
Wow deadwards deck really caught on. If you aren't going standard Splinter is a must have. I use it in my blue green version of this.
have you tried using into the core in this deck?? i like the concept of this deck , using liquimetals to make other permanents artifacts then destroying them with your cards.
I haven't updated the deck with the new NBS cards yet, but Into the Core is definitely going to be included.
Deck updated with MBS cards. Thanks for the suggestions!
