Fast affinity ! Comments are appreciated . Edit #1 : Consistency is what this deck is lacking , i just don't know how to make it better without changing the all-around ! Sometimes my opponent dies in turn 3-4 , sometimes i suck balls till turn 8-9 ... this is frustating cause i know this deck can be very deadly ... Edit #2: With the new adds , i can say that now i'm happy with the results ! This is fast like never before ! Edit # 3 : The sideboard is just what i have to make it more BROOOODSTAR way instead of the Etched Champion if i'm playing vs an Artefact Deck. :-) Thanks for all the comments !

wow artifacts are crazy,,,,,,,,,what about Myr servitor, it would go nicely with scull clamp. take out the phyrexian walkers for them.

Oh I forgot this card ! Lol with skullclamp ! Thanks for the tips !
Wow... I didn't know artifact decks could be so deadly. Looks awesome. Guess I'm gonna have to make one of these decks next! (lol, my friend won't see what hit him.) Help with my black deck if you'd like. Deck link: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=97082
I was just looking at some cards and I thought that Master of Etherium would be awesome in this deck also.
yea i agree with darkslime. Master of etherium might not have flying which is always a plus about broodstar, but it will always cost you 3 mana and pump up the rest of your artifact creatures. He is also an artifact himself so he counts towards affinity. im not saying broodstar is bad because he definitely is not, i just think master of etherium is better. something to think about.
also since scars is out you might consider putting memnite in over phyrexian walker
Thanks for all the comments ! These are appreciated ! Yeah i thought about Master of Etherium but the fact that he is not flying makes things difficult to me ... What if i'm playing vs a huge token deck ? I will have to kill them one by one to get to him ? Broodstar is simple : Put in play , echoing truth or aether spellbomb his flying and kill with one or 2 cranial plating on it ! I'll check on memnite ...
well phyrexian walker is a great early blocker but i feel like you can do so much more with memnite especially if you are running clamp. he also tends to get in 1 or 2 damage early on. they are both great cards its just a matter of personal choice
Hell yeah i'll put Memnite instead of Phyrexian Walker ! You're right about it , i can do much more with memnite with clamp ! Thanks for the advice.
Also if you're worried about tokens, echoing decay and/or echoing truth can take care of that easily
You need Arcbound Ravagers, Arcbound Workers and Disciple of the vault, all 4 ofs
This is not a Modular deck , it's Affinity . Disciple of the vault is useless because all of my artefacts cost is 2 or less because of the affinity mechanics ( except Etched Champion of course ). Arcbound ravager is way too slow to get big and i don't feel saccing my cards to make him big and getting him doombladed or path to exile etc... ( We are playing a lot of removal!)
You have an affinity deck that runs Blue mana, yet you don't have either Master of Etherium (must have) and/or Etherium Sculptor (great accelerator)...Son, I am disappoint. =[
I don't need Master of Etherieum in this deck since there is Etched Champion. Etched is protection from all colors + cranial plating is a win for sure . I have 4 Broodstar if i wanna play some blue creature and Master of Etherium gives +1/+1 to my artefacts and it doesn't go well with the skullclamps. Etherium Sculptor is nice , but again , not in this deck , sometimes ( like 3 on 5 games) I don't have any cards left in my hand at the end of my second turn. So why getting the Sculptor ? I have this deck since Fifth Dawn and i play tested so much cards in it that didn't fit well and Etherium sculptor is one of those. Maybe I'll try the Master but i know that the Skullclamp mechanics will suffer of this add. Thanks for your comments tho !
hahaha skull clamp is banned hahaha
This deck is T1 hahahaha ... its legal in Type 1(vintage) hahaha ... do you have any other comments like this ?
if your going to play vintage wouldnt you want to add a black lotus then?
Because i don't own one, that's why !
why not? everyone has one.
First off, you are running way too many not affinity artifacts. Aether spellbomb, basalisk collar, welding jar. Why you have ancient den puzzles me. Insted put in another 2 great furnaces and 4x springlef drum - giving a base of 16 land and 20 with the drum - which is very good. You definatley need 4x master of etherium - it is nonsense saying you dont need him - he is another win condition which, to be honest wont hurt your deck. You are running affinity - not conrol - so scrap echoing truths. Instead, have 4x galvanic blast to squeeze the extra damage through. Archbound ravagers is rally good - im shocked you dont want it. It is modular, but essentail for most good affinity decks. You need 4x thoughtcast - really helpful. Yeah. Thats my thoughts.
First, thanks for your comments. All the artefacts you named that aren't affinity cost 1 mana or less, so it doesn't hurt this deck , and Welding Jar is a need against Naturalize and Disenchant or Shatter. I have Ancient Den in here because it is another artifact land that counts for my Cranial Plating and i have never seen this card : Springleaf Drum, i think that it can be good , i'll try this out. Now for Master of Etherium ... You guys clearly miss the point of Etched Champion instead of Master. - Master is not flying , this means that any token deck will laugh at him. '' Oh yeah bring your master ill block it with my 0/1 plant... Oh it's my turn ? '' - Master can get fucked by a 1/1 deathtouch ... lol Or by any creature that have a Kill ability... - Master can die to any removal : Doomblade , Sword of Plowshare, Path to Exile, Journey to Nowhere, Oblivion Ring, Terminate, Shatter etc ... Now with Etched Champion : He doesn't care about flying and stuff , he doesnt' care about deathtouch or any kill ability , and finally , NO REMOVAL EXCEPT MASS REMOVAL CAN'T AFFECT HIM. That means if i get a cranial plating on him , it's game over against any deck who don't have mass removal. Arcbound Ravager is good , but not in this deck because he will slow the deck terribly, I know it because i play tested it , my friends have 4 of him and this card just slow the deck like hell. Galvanic Blast is a good idea , ill try this instead of echoing truths , Thanks. I must say that now with the skull clamp , i don't know which card to scrap out for the Thoughtcast.
Hi. I accept that the named artifacts are alright, but to be honest you dont need them. Who cares about removal - you want to empty your hand by at least turn 2, and carry on dumping your cards. Who cares if you lose some creatures on the way - you just carry on drawing and dumping - that is why you need thoughtcast. MAster of ethreium is good. Yes he doesant have flying, yes he can be chumpblocked. You could take out the ancient dens for 4x whispersilk cloak to make it unblockable (wouldnt reccomend). But saying you wont put him in because of token decks is a waste - you could just as easily say you wont put in etched champion incase my opponet is using an artifact deck. See what i mean? Also, it is pointless saying he dies to removal. Yes, he is a big target, but he has a cmc of 3, for probably (he should be in any case) a 7/7when he comes out (because of your other artifacts). YOu might as well say that a 7/7 for 3 is fair, becase it dies to Doomblade , Sword of Plowshare, Path to Exile, Journey to Nowhere, Oblivion Ring, Terminate, Shatter etc ... which we all know wouldnt be fair card. Again if he dies it doesnt matter - its not like you spent mana you would regret on him! Definatley put him in.
wow
Consider shrapnel blasts, etherium sculptors, and myr retrievers.
I've tested the blasts , and Thoughtcast is more efficient because i need to flow the deck , not do some dmg to the opponent.
My first sample hand was: Darksteel Citadel, Mox Opal, Frogmite, Cranial Plating, Welding Jar, Ornithopter, Ornithopter. First hand drop EVERYTHING. Second turn, Cranial Plating on Frogmite and start swingin. I like this deck a lot :)
It's a really nice deck. It has only 1 thing, that you'd probably not like - Back to Nature - everything you have dies horribly and you just meet your end ;P I'd add 3 Stoic Rebuttal to the sideboard to make sure, that you have something to counter Back to Nature. Cheers
Also check my Flames and Offending! deck if you can: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=138514
Back to Nature is destroying all enchantments , which i don't have any in my deck :-P
Vedalken archmage! Shield sphere?
Vedalken archmage was once in this deck like 4-5 years ago . But the point of this deck is to be the fastest possible , so a 4cmc creature that isn't a game winner don't have any space in this deck... But i agree that the archmage is really fun to play with !
Considering that once you lay down vedalken archmage you can the play an draw almost your entire deck in one turn with playing free creatures and skull clamping them for near infinite draw I'd say that's a. Game ender...
This is one of the best artifact decks ive seen well done.
Thank you very much ! I appreciate the comment ! I have to say that i spent so much time playing against all sort of decks to be able to put it together like that ! Now, I'm waiting Mirrodin Besieged :-D
http://ggslivetv.squarespace.com/2011-event-vods/ comon ravanger is just that good
so this deck looks like "welcome to legacy tounament" so basically only thing you need is to know what kind of starting hand you should have, and when it's 70% of that you win in 2 tuns by LETHAL damage
WOW...PERFECT: Not another word a can say... From Italian Player: Good Job ;)
Thank you ! I really appreciate your comment !
Hey there, got an artefact deck as well with affinities, you got it pretty worked up and sounding good! Props! Cranial plating and frogmite are always good combo not to mention etched champ. You might have thought about it already, but you thought of Steel Oversser? with some clock of omen you could tap/untap lands and rack up 3 to 4 +1+1 on all ur artefact creatures. I say this, but if u play duels its not really an option since you want it fast. I ony say this for multiplayer ffa. Might not be the best thing but thought I could just mention it.
Thanks for the comment ! Steel Overseer is cool , but like i said before , not fast enough. For multiplayer , maybe i will try them , but the faster the better i think !
Doesn't seem to have any really good wincons...anything colorless/indestructible can bypass anything you throw out there. Burn decks will cut up anything you put out, and can kill you before you can mount a solid offensive with the plating/champion. Might want to consider swapping out the skullclamps (they seem to be a bit out of place here anyways) for some tougher creatures if you can get away with it. That or more creatures with affinity. Also, That Which was Taken, witchbane orb, platinum emperion, mirrorowrks, Karn Liberated, Skyship Weatherlight and All is Dust could be good cards to consider; all good options for a side deck if nothing else.
