Deck Description

Completely Casual, Artifact semi-griefer

Has it's ups and downs, speed determined by luck of the draw

How to Play

Many ways to use this deck, I seem to find something new every other duel.

Don't be afraid to sacrifice for the greater good:

Kuldotha Forgemaster can be costly but handy when you have extra artifacts and need that mana for other trickery, though you can also sac artifact lands or the forgemaster to itself.

Tinker is a useful way to complete almost any scheme requiring one more artifact, granted you have one to sac;
-have blightsteel but need quicksilver amulet;
-forgemaster, or metamorph went to the graveyard, so grab a skeleton shard;
-etc.

Cloning and Copying definitely adds facepalms:

Hidden Strings' Cipher ability can interact with a creature equipped with Whispersilk Cloak or Lightning Greaves because Cipher does not target, and in turn can duplicate whatever you can get through enemy defenses (and while Master of Etherium can become huge, nobody likes multiple juggernauts, Colossi or Platinum Angels on the battlefield).

Mirrorworks, Prototype Portal, Phyrexian Metamorph and Sculpting Steel can copy artifact creatures, artifacts, or artifact lands if necessary, the portal being the most efficient route for land dupes as it would tap and cost 0. It's a rare occurrence for an opening hand, but noteworthy ability when you have less than optimal mana production.

Madness:

-Want to control and copy an opponent's creature (*or artifact)?
--Memnarch + Phyrexian Metamorph (*Sculpting Steel)

-Phyrexian Juggernaut with Unwinding Clock out?
--Copy him this turn for 10 infect in opponent's turn

Prototype Portal + Plague Myr = Army of infectious, mana producing Myr

-Prototype Portal/Mirrorworks + Master of Etherium/Sculpting Steel
---Then Prototype Portal/Mirrorworks + Cranial Plating = Everyone gets Hats!
(--or Prototype Portal/Mirrorworks + L.Greaves or Whispersilk)

Mirrorworks + Prototype Portal + Whatever = tokens of copies
-------- +Sculpting Steel/P.Metamorph = clone all

Costly Wishes:
Ring of Three Wishes - Who doesn't like wishes? except they go to your hand...

Sideboard Note:
although the entire sideboard can be added (give or take clone / frantic salvage / gift of orzhova), it can become colluded.

If you're comfortable with a 70 card deck; (73 with the 3x Gift of Orzhova)
throw in all 5 lands, Lily & Tez, plus the 2 Argivian Restorations and extra Tinker.

Main Weaknesses:
"each/all" non-targeting (vandalblast, worldfire, death cloud, etc.)
Exile (into the core)
Copying/Cloning
Flying (hence Gift of Orzhova)
Izzet/Gruul combos
(Izzet no-creature deck, hence witchbane orb + secondary in sideboard)
(Gruul overrun)
one can only have so many into the core/naturalize, but they can end this deck
