Deck Description

A deck to fight in the new standard. The focus is on artifacts that either have a come into ability, a die ability, or both! Tezzeret and Venser work well in the deck for obvious reasons.

Suggestions needed! I have a couple weeks to fine tune this until Simulacrum comes out, which is the card that I think makes this deck possible.

Edit: Sideboard now finished! It will change a lot after Zendikar block rotates out, but for now, let me know what you think!

It's definitely an option that is seeing some play. If I was going Kuldotha Forge, I would keep it blue/black.

Forge is a little too gimicky for me tho, and I don't wanna be relying on Blightsteel Colo winning every game. I prefer to have multiple win conditions, which I feel this one provides.

eh. to each his own.
I was thinking it would be a great outlet for Ichor Wellsprings, Spine of Ish Sah, and Mycosynth Wellspring. Even if you only had two, it'd help you get out Wurmcoil Engine and Battlesphere.

Or are you relying on Tezz's ultimate to win? In which case, yeah, stick to this list.

It is a good outlet to get them in, but it would be another expensive spell, which I feel like my curve is already fairly high.

My current thinking is I have 3 win conditions.

1. Each of my 6-7 cost artifacts are a win condition in their own right, Wyrm, Myr, and Spine. Myr works great with Venser and/or Tezz, and Spine works great with Venser.

2. Life's Finale. Especially after killing a titan or two, throw in a life's finale on a valakut or Splinter Twin (removing all Exarchs) and it's a GG. I have this card in here purely to fight valakut and splinter twin. I would most likely change it after Innistrad.

3. Tezzeret -1 on artifacts, I view this more likely as being a delay tactic to get my #1 condition online, but it certainly has the potential to be strong enough in it's own right. Especially since I get to draw or tutor everytime one of my creatures die (minus sphere of suns).

possiably tezzeret's gambit for more draw or preordain?? not that the deck needs it though. personaly i would switch life's finale with a black sun's.

maybe put in the sb the following:
mana leaks, hex parasite, tumble magnet, maybe a grave titan or frost.?? maybe another wurmcoil engine and maybe some discard.

just some suggestions, looks pretty awsome atm man.

I originally had some pre-ordains in the maindeck, but I decided to switch out since they'll be rotating out in a couple months anyway, and the only alternative I see so far is the new M12 card that lets you draw 3 if GY contains 20 or more cards, which doesn't quite seem worth it in this deck. It came down to me wanting to make sure I hit a high enough number of artifacts to put Tezz online.

Far as sideboard, I'm definitely with you on the mana leaks, tumble, and frost. Hex is a good idea which I will probably include, as I think a lot of people will want to play with the new planeswalkers after M12. I was also thinking duress and maybe Despise plus a couple surgical extractions, to fight the creature-light decks that rely on combos (Splinter Twin, possibly Valakut, although I think it'd work better vs Splinter).

Also, Grave Titan would probably be a good inclusion, I just don't own one, and I'm trying to cut down on buying new cards ;) However, he would be sick with Venser.... I shall ponder it!

yah i see ur point there. i think u have the artifacts to get tezz some serious power. ur ideas for the SB should be well rounded for most other decks. lol i dont own one either, i just know its one of the most used cards in magic atm. be nice to have one at least. yah i agree titan with venser = d e a d opp lol.

I just finished the sideboard, what do you think? It's mostly aimed towards Splinter and Valakut, but there's definitely some cross-hate there as well.

Good editions post M12 could be pentavus, great for tezz's final + the ability to turn the tokens into 5/5's. Divination could also be a replacement draw instead of preordain. Stonehorn dignity would also be just sick in combination with vincer.

I like the Pentavus idea, as it works well with Venser also. It's essentially a faster, unlimited, thopter assembly (although it does cost 1 more).

I thought about Divination, but I'm worried about having too many spells and not enough artifacts. The majority of my turns with Tezzeret I'd like to be doing +1.

Stonehorn dignity can be absolutely sick, and I'll probably have it as a sideboard card vs creature aggro decks.
