Deck Description

Deck for my wife.
Phoenix Tribal.
She loves anything to do with Phoenixes.

How to Play

Main idea so far is to use Metalcraft for Kuldotha Phoenix and Riddlesmith.

I am thinking for feeding/drawing cards I might use Burning Inquiry?

The Artifacts are what I am confused on.
Plus, might need 3 or 4 more Phoenix creatures to finish out the deck.

With Riddlesmith you will want to play Artifact, draw a card, and hopefully discarding Kuldotha Phoenix or Flamewake Phoenix.

Deck discussion for 935916

Well, you would need something like Shard Phoenix so you can defend yourself against weenies. However, Shard Phoenix would clip your Riddlesmith, too.

Artifacts? Since all Pheonixes (including your Kuldotha one with metalcraft) need mana to come back, simply use mainly mana artefacts to get metalcraft going. But Darksteel Myr wouldn't be a bad choice either since he stays around longer and can help blocking. If you stay mono-red, you could also run Darksteel Citadel which is indesctructible as well and counts as an artifact. Other than that you can use cantrip-artifacts like Ichor Wellspring or Tsabo's Web. Or equipments that add abilities that your phoenixes don't have yet.

BTW, running Great Furnace and Seat of the Synod is a risky move. And they do NOT trigger Riddlesmith since they aren't spells that are cast!

Maybe Ashcloud Phoenix or Firewing Phoenix (or a mix thereof) to enable FLamewake Phoenix? Vexing Sphinx would be a flavourful addition - its not Phoenix, however, it works wonderfully together with Flamewake Phoenix. And maybe have an eye on Spellbound Dragon. Also no phoenix but would fit well.
