Deck Description

"Behold my mighty invention!"
-Gelbin Mekkatorque

Being a new player to Magic, I did some research on competetive modern decks. I really liked the Affinity modern deck, but damn was it expensive. So I decided to make my own version of it, which hugely cut the costs, but made it a whole lot weaker.

My budget decks try to stay below 40$, please keep that in mind.

Feel free to leave any suggestions, any advice is good for a new player like myself.

How to Play

Overwhelm the opponent with cheap artifact creatures.

Buff up your creatures with equipment and Ensoul Artifact. Ensoul Artifact combos well with flying creatures and Darksteel Citadel.

Galvanic Blast is good removal or a finisher and Thoughtcast gets you cards. Metalcraft is easy to achieve on Galvanic Blast and Thoughtcast will often draw you 2 cards for just one blue mana.

Whipflare in sideboard to combat non-artifact aggro decks.

Have you seen Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas?
also unless you plan on taking this to events where format matters you might as well run the artifact lands
Here's the artifact deck I run

far more expensive and not legal in anything but very fun, just some food for thought

I keep my decks modern legal. I would have loved to use the artifact lands. I've seen Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and I feel he might be better suited for a midrange or control artifact deck. He also breaks the deck's budget quite a bit. Thank you for the suggestions though, I really appreciate it!
