How to Play

Ensouling Artifact gives you the opportunity for very low cost powerful creatures.
You can have a 5/5 Indestructible with Darksteel Citadel, a 5/5 Flyer on Ornithopter or simply a 5/5 on Springleaf Drum all for 2-3 land cost.

Scuttling Doom Engine is a beast, I expect the card to steadily increase in value until 2016 comes out. He's difficult to block and he's difficult to deal with as there are very few cards which can provide a favorable trade or removal with him.

Generator Servant is a fantastic accelerator. It allows you to cast your Scuttling Doom Engine (6/6) for 4 land, your Hoarding Dragon (4/4 Flyer) for 3 land and your Illusory Angel (4/4 Flyer) for potentially 1 land whilst also providing haste.

Shrapnel Blast is a great burn card and this deck has multiple ways to utilize it. Springleaf Drum and Ornithopter are great target buts sacrificing the Doom Engine means your opponent takes 11 damage to the face.

It's not impossible to accelerate a Doom Engine out with Chief Engineer and Generator Servant, attack for 6 with haste and then have the mana to still cast Shrapnel Blast sacrificing the Doom Engine and hitting for an additional 11.

Strong opening's:

T1: Springleaf Drum
T2: Ornicopter, Illusory Angel.

Result: Turn 2 0/2 + 4/4 Flyers.

T1: Darksteel Citadel.
T2: Ensoul Artifact.

Result: Turn 2 5/5 Indestructible.

T1: Springleaf Drum.
T2: Generator Servant
T3: Scuttling Doom Engine.

Result: Turn 3 6/6 Haste.
