Deck Description

Artifact dominance; stacking counters, lifelinks, infect, draw and mill, protection from every color.

How to Play

A few things to note:

Infiltration Lens is a new addition I've added (I'd draw voltaic key which was too heavy dependent on steel overseer/lux cannon (late game). So reducing the chances of drawing it w/o having a steel overseer in my hand is more likely resolved. In turn, Infiltration Lens allows any creatures to draw two cards if blocked. equip this onto a creature with any of the swords (like Sword of Fire and Ice) and it's a guaranteed bonus draw if the original stipulations don't resolve.

Another way to draw is using the Steel Overseer to give Walking Archives +1/+1 counters. Its quite easy to start milling through overdraw. Once there's a stack on Walking Archive I've ensured a reliquary tower for safe measure. Venser's Journal is too expensive (in terms of its mana cost).

Aside from a lux cannon, I've yet to find a flawless method of target destroy. As Tim83ca has recommended Isocronic Scepter, which is perfect for utility, but I'd have to find a couple of color cards which might be wasteful in a 99% colourless/urza's lands themed artifact.

All Is Dust will destroy any Vault Skirges on the field. It's really not friendly with any artifact color (Etherium Sculptor, for example). The Skirges keep life sustenance/dominance while poison overrides.

I know some Infect (e.g. Plague/wGalvanizer would work great, but a Dolmen Gate + flying infect can give me the edge quite often). The difference in getting attacks successful at this point is between land vs flyer. This deck is all flyers except tapping the steel overseers, and signal pests (which can only be blocked by flyers/reach). The blinkmoth land/cranial plating /shuko on inkmoth nexus does the infect job perfectly for me. Cranial Plating gets wild bonuses. Shuko equip costs nothing, giving +1/+0s. Considering they also add to Cranial Plating, they are useful for restacking onto a blocker after the attack phase. Every Inkmoth/Blinkmoth land that comes on the battlefield as a 1/1 flyer will also give +1 to a cranial plating. A Blinkmoth can boost an Inkmoth. There becomes several ways to stack a +9/+0 onto the Inkmoth for Infect damage every turn.

Lets not forget to mention the +1/+1 counters from Steel Overseer would stay on Inkmoth nexus as a permanent.
