Deck Description

A Grixis Artifact deck. Found out that people hate it when I play artifact decks. Not sure why that is. Guess I'll figure it out when I put this deck to the test.
The only thing I wish I could do is add creature removal. I totally forgot about it when I was making the deck. Oh well. I'll figure something out.

How to Play

Use artifacts to beat down your opponents. Its especially easy with Aggravated Assault and Hellkite Tyrant. Other than that, just keep up the assault and win, win, win!

As this is EDH, isn't your commander basically useless other than his mana affinity?

I guess with Mishra, artifact spells "can't be countered"... But i might be wrong

Could just run the crosis? Doesn't hurt your theme and it offers some control

Also, my buddy has a modern myr deck and there's a nasty combo involving pallidium myr, battlesphere, galvinizer and splintertwin. Another suggestion would be spellskite just cause he's handy at times.Also, theres's an infinite mana combo with Deadeye Navigator and Peregrine Drake.

Mishra actually does work but you have to abuse the stack. I'm not going to explain it from my phone but it does actually work

Mishra was used for the theme, not because I'm actually going to use him. It was either him, Crosis, or Nekusar. Since everyone would target me if I used Nekusar and Crosis is will be useless once Mycosynth lattice hits the field, I choose Mishra.

Palladium Myr and Myr Galvanizer is infinite colourless mana. I made a deck around that called Avarice and Deceit. If you'd care to look at it, you can. It's pretty rough.
And if Ulka could please explain how I could use Mishra by abusing the stack whenever he gets to a computer that'd be pretty awesome.

First off you need something like possibility storm and mishra out. Then when you cast an artifact spell both mishra and possiblity storm trigger . You place mishra on stack first then possibility storm. Possibiltt storm triggers and you flip until artifact. Then mishras triggers and you hunt for an artifact with the name of the one you cast in your deck and you get 1 free artifact card. Ill send you my list later once I get a computer infront of me (phones suck for lots of typing)

Actually, I found a better way to use Mishra that just keeps people from countering my artifact spells. But he is really silly with his annoying stack abuse.

Ethetium sculptor would be a good add to this reduces artifact casting by one

Etherium Sculptor is actually in this deck. He's just under Artifact Creatures.

Blightsteel colossus artifact crature with trample, infect, indestructible 11/11. High mana cost sure but just from your deck alone cards like Scarecrone ( this method would need to be used in response to his ability triggering him to get shuffled back into the deck), Mycosynth Golem, Master Transmuter, Kuldotha Forgemaster could get him out with ease.

Also Glimmervoid would be good add since its a land that gives your any mana of your choice with a recoil effect if you don't have artifacts

Blightsteel would be a good choice, I'm just not a fan of infect. I don't like the concept, so I don't use it. Also, since it still only takes 10 poison counters for someone to die in commander, it feels like game ends too quickly. Granted, it would be incredibly easy to get him out and make him kill everyone in a single turn, I just personally don't like. I'd rather just kill them with Darksteel Juggernaut or Master of the Etherium or other means, such as with Hellkite Tyrant.
As for Glimmervoid, since the deck isn't entirely artifacts, glimmervoid can be very fragile. I'd rather just have a land like command tower or something rather than have a land that I have to sacrifice if I lost my artifacts.
Thank you for the comment. If you have any other ideas, I'd be more than happy to hear them out.

well if not blightsteel then what about Darksteel Colossus same thing just without the infect and instead of 12 costs 11 so 1 less mana for the lost of infect

Hows the deck been handling?

Played it last night with a few changes, and won twice out of the three games I used it. I was going up against a super control Oona, Queen of the Fae and a Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge. The game basically consisted of who can get out the most things while avoiding their deck being exiled. Honestly, my second game I won through milling out my opponent with a temple bell and an unwinding clock. It was fairly close.
Other than that, the deck works well. Will use it more tonight and see how it goes against a life-gain/control Oloro and an enchantment Rafiq. Should be fun.

Went up against a Bant flicker with Derevi, Jund sacrifice with Prosh, and a Dimir with Oona. With me having the best board state for most of the game, I was being ganged up on rather harshly. My deck had a total of 24 cards left, and only one of them was a land card, so I decided my best move was to give the game to the Bant deck. He had a wurmcoil engine on the field, so I Obliterated the field, and he killed the Jund and Dimir off and we shook hands. Fun game, even if I didn't get to do too much.
My go to deck for Commander is now Arcanis the Infinite. It's more consistent than Mishra, but Mishra is a bit more fun to play.

That is pretty good. I went 1v1 against an equipment deck with geist with my oloro pillowfort deck. He milled most of my deck with akroma and sword of body and mind til i plowshared it. He then played geist, equipped body and mind and got me down to 3 cards, 17 life and 19 commander damage. I played brilliant plan, drew sanguine bond with exquisite blood on the field, played it and then played death's grasp for 1 and won the match.

Oh man. That's dirty. I'm not the biggest fan of infinite combos, but that sounds like you got it just when you needed it. Also, have you thought about running an Eldrazi in your deck for the graveyard shuffle? Or maybe an elixir of immortality? I run an elixir in Mishra and Ulamog in my Arcanis so the mill doesn't really hurt me that much, least their exiled in some way or another.
