Deck Description

Type 2 get out Blightsteel Colossus w/o actually paying 12 mana for him.

Dumped Augury Owl for Trinket Mage and 1 Darksteel Relic, stops my Naturalize and Nature's Claim problems. Sideboarded Rebirth both for board wipe and something to sac. I have 5 shots at getting Darksteel out (1 of, and 4 Mages), and I consistently have it out of the deck before I am ready to Shape anyways.

Add in inkmoth nexus so you have a greater chance at drawing some food to Shape

Phyrexian Rebirth could also be a good addition.

Why won't it work? The point is to only have the Blightsteel artifacts, he has Master's call that summons artifacts... and if he adds in inkmoth nexus or phyexian rebirth thats even more ways to create artifacts....

I appreciate the concern, but yeah, Master's Call is what I'm doing here for that. I don't want to spend the kind of money Inkmoth is going to cost, so I will look into Phyrexian Rebirth instead. I didn't realize it was indeed an artifact. Good board wipe, would save my ass. I will possibly get some of those, but I'm going to proxy until my spells come in (preordain, into the roil, see beyond, and glacial fortress) from cardkingdom and see how it runs. I feel that I have enough deck manipulation to do well enough. This deck is never going to see tournament play, it's just funny, and no one in the area I play is going to do something like this because it's absolutely retarded. I'll say it from the start: This is a stupid idea, and I'm building this deck because it's funny. This will work exactly once in a multi, and kill maybe 2 players. Maybe.

On the deck manipulation thing: Squad Hawks help thin my deck out some, Augury Owl is a decent scry 3, Preordain, Halimar Depths, etc. In theory, there's enough deck manip here that even when I draw into Blightsteel, I'll have See Beyond to shuffle him back in and I'm stacking my deck in the meantime. I'm going to pull my combo often enough, how I see it. This may be incredibly inefficient in practice. I won't know that until I play it. For this bullshit of a deck, the possibility of lethal turn 5 or 6 is hilarious, as far as I'm concerned.

I've also looked at the new stuff coming out. There's a 0 cost indestructible artifact. Put 1 of those in, 2 blightsteels, trinket mages, run it mono blue. 5 shots at getting that arti before drawing into blightsteel or something. Should be turn 3 or so, and w/ some other mods, it would probably be roughly tournament worthy.

Yeah, Inkmoth is another solution, but I don't want to spend alot of money on that particular card, especially when Phyrexian Rebirth will do the job when Master's Call can't be found. It's not a foolproof combo, not at all. This isn't Kuldotha Rebirth, where saccing is part of the cost. Shape can be countered by simply Naturalizing (or Shattering, etc etc) the Myr MC produces. This is an amusing deck, and I find it hilarious. It's entertaining to run, especially since most of what I do ends up being manipulating my deck and wait around and maybe counter something and hope my opponents target each other first and leave me alone to turn my deck upside down and stuff.

I proxied half the spells in this deck for awhile lol. I have everything for it now. Other than mods when New Phrexia releases. I'm thinking playset Trinket Mages and one of that indestructible 0 cost artifact. Prevents Naturalizing my Shape target and provides some redundancy for consistency. It might be fast enough tournament wise if I had a decent way to search for Shape, after those mods. Probably not, but honestly, getting the artifact I need out and then sitting on it and manipulating my deck and countering seems to work ok. Again, it's a fun deck. This isn't really going to see widespread tournament play, it's a bit cumbersome and relies on Shape to work. If that's countered or otherwise stopped (Naturalize, Nature's Claim) on say a Myr or whatever, that's game. Takes too long to hit a 2nd Shape. If I have both MC and Shape opening hand, then it's fine. Otherwise, can take too long.

memnites and ornithopters are always an option for freebie artifacts to use

I'm tempted to try this out on one of my current decks that uses high cost cards

Running any artifact besides Blightsteel defeats the purpose. Shape Anew says reveal cards till you hit an artifact, not Tinker and search for what you want. Trust me, I'd have used Memnites and Ornithopers if Shape Anew read differently.
