How to Play

It's time to show why Mishra is the general for this deck. His strength lies in the way he interacts with certain cards. Nether Void, Blood Funnel these two cards operate in a similar way. If he's on the field and either or both of these are you get the following effect. 1.Cast an artifact (for two cheaper if applicable) and put first Mishra's trigger than the ecnhantments' triggers on the stack. 2.The artifact will be countered due to one either not paying the extra three or not sacrificing a creature. 3.Mishra's ability will resolve and give you back the countered artifact. Thus in the end your artifacts cost less than anything cast by any opponent. Now Nether Void and Blood Funnel both may work against you. For starters they will hurt if you're trying to cast a non-artifact which is why the countermagic levels in this deck are so low. Blood Funnel can be difficult to deal with if Mishra is not in play but this is why we include Bloodghast and Reassembling Skeleton to serve as sacrifice outlets where necessary, sometimes it is also useful to have a way to sacrifice an artifact creature one controls as I shall show later. The other similar interaction is using Nullstone Gargoyle. It makes you practically immune to countermagic and using Mishra as above your own artifacts will bypass the effect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we get down to what the deck's really about. There are several "I win" combos in the deck and I shall explain each of them .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goblin Welder+Thornbite Staff+ any two artifact creatures. This combo requires that either one of the two artifact creatures is in the grave or any other artifact is.
1.Equip Goblin Welder with the Staff. 2.Tap him and sacrifice one of your artifact creatures to bring the other one back. 3.Thorbite Staff untaps Goblin Welder allowing you to do this again. 4.repeat until you have won. (If both artifact creatures start in play then you can bring any other artifact back first by sacc'ing one of them, Welder will still untap leaving you free to continue as above).
One can generate the following effects,
-Duplicant: exile all of your opponents' creatures.
-Sphinx Summoner: tutor your library for all your artifact creatures.
-Parasitic Strix: Drain all opponents of all life (not the best option for this slot, I'm including it out of personal fondness alternatives are things like Grim Poppet.
-Triskelion: kill any creatures and any players.
-Solemn Simulacrum: tutor all your basic lands into play and draw your deck (note: one may wish to run more basic lands to take better advantage of this effect).

Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir+Knowledge Pool.
This one is simple, resolve both of these and your opponents can no longer play spells. This is due to the fact that every time they cast a spell it get's exiled and another is immediately cast from Knowledge Pool. However the spell being cast from Knowledge Pool is not being cast when they would be able to cast a sorcery so Teferi prevents it.
(Note: Arcane Laboratory has a similar effect except that it prevents you playing spells too, not necessarily bad with Master Transumter on your side.)

Magus of the Future/Future Sight+Etherium Sculptor/Cloud Key+Sensei's Divining Top.
This combo lets you draw your deck for free. Tap Top to draw a card, it goes to the top of your library where you can now play it for free so tap it to draw another card and repeat as much as you wish. Even without the artifact cost reduction this turns into : Draw a card.
Psychosis Crawler will then kill all your opponents for you though it may not always be necessary.

Mindslaver+Academy Ruins
This one is simple, take an opponent's turn with Mindslaver then use Academy Ruins so you can do it again indefinitely.

Why mishra, he doesn't seem good in singleton. The rest of the deck looks cool. Good job.

Thanks I did some studying before I threw it all up. and I like wurmcoil but would he only be used towards welder? cause welder is going to be a huge target by himself once people start seeing the abuse out of him
