Deck Description

So, if I was to play Izzet or artifacts this what I would play...

Shit worth talking about:
Ghirapur Æther Grid: Your main win condition, plus a pretty sweet removal card, this in combination with all your other removal means you can easily kill things with 5 or even 6 toughness and anything small doesn't stand a chance at all.

Decimator Web: The other win condition, it is here to prevent cards like slaughter games from turning this deck into a pile with which you CAN NOT win.

Ichor Wellspring, Prophetic Prism, Relic of Progenitus, Sun Droplet, Pithing Needle, Elixir of Immortality: all just great cheap artifacts, each has its own roll in the deck and each is very good at it. Be it fixing lifegain, shutting down graveyards or specific cards or just being Shrapnel Blast fodder these enable metalcraft and the grid very well.

Sun Droplet+Shivan Reef: LIFEGAIN!

Solemn Simulacrum: Another cantrip alongside Ichor Wellspring, Prophetic Prism and Relic of Progenitus. Thanks to all of these your deck is much smaller which means you can easily draw what you need when you need it. This one has legs and it thins the deck by 2 cards so that's why he is in here.

Galvanic Blast: Often a BETTER BOLT! And that's saying a lot...

Negate and Stoic Rebuttal: Here to
A) Make sure your win cons are well protected
B) Make sure you don't burn
C) Make sure you don't die to a combo
D) Really just make sure that nothing you can't kill dosn't get cast
E) Make sure that you don't get Shatterstormed or anything nasty like that
F) Make sure that you don't look like a dumbass for playing blue but playing no counterspells.

How to Play

In the early game you cantrip and kill anything that bothers you, this is your setup phase, you try to build up your artifacts so that when Ghirapur Æther Grid hits you'll be ready to unleash hell. Don't prioritize playing artifacts over killing threats or leaving up mana to counter specific cards.

Mid game is the stage in which you want to play the grid if it isn't already in play, once you have it you are on your way to victory. If you don't get the grid you stall till you get it or till you get Decimator Web.

Late game is just you holding up a negate and slowly killing your opponent or you being long dead.
