Deck Description

The Metal Sacrifice:
------------------------
------------------------
Hey! Thanks for checking the deck out! It took a lot of work, so throw me a "like" or a comment and tell me what you think? :D
------------------------
------------------------
Inspired by Ichor and Mycosynth Wellspring.
Liquidmetal provides awesome control, and can even mana screw them! :)
All win-cons and every play involves artifacts in one way or another.
The above statement makes the deck suck, but is well themed and fun to play with. :)

Originally when building the deck I thought that "metalcraft" was artifact-y enough but upon looking at the rest of the deck, I realized that if that were the case I'd just play artifact control and green red metalcraft, which seemed like cheating to me. So instead, I made this deck.
It works by turning things into artifacts, then ramping up into killing them all, as well as ramping into wurmcoil / fangren marauder. :) Also, wicked draw from the deck, which is always fun. xD
I debated slag fiend. At first I ran 4, then went down to 2, then dropped 2 to run 1 more marauder and 1 more viridian revel.
Also, not having any land acceleration kinda sucked. I would have loved to have had rampant growth in there, but that doesn't specifically have to do with artifacts, so I had to drop it, and in it's place, due to my curve and high need for mana (even for my curve,) I had to run a few myrs... :/
Same reason for not having raging ravines, they weren't artifact--y enough.

--------------
TL;DR:
Every bit of the deck, every card, has a decent amount of synergy, as well as ALWAYS having to do with artifacts. I skipped out on rampant growth and raging ravine b/c they didn't fit the theme. Galvonic blast, I think, is the one card that is furthest from the theme, which is pretty good imo. :)

SB based on dealing with a variety of decks, but as I honestly have no clue how the deck works, or what it's weak against (as i know there's no real way it could be "strong" against anything. xD)

Also, the deck has kinda inspired me, after having used myr in place of rampant growth, to make a myr version of the deck, which could be kinda fun. I'll have to check it out, I'll post a link below this paragraph if I ever make it.

-------
EDIT: the metalcraft burn spell is gone now for K-red to help out in killing my wellspring / wasted magnets / myrs later on. :)

This deck is pretty solid. It's hard to find anything to add because you are staying standard, but I really like build. My black green version of the liquimetal scheme would approve. If your looking for a heavy hitter with some more removal try hoard-smelter dragon or even ancient hellkite. They provide you with some firepower while still fueling the purpose of your deck. Hope this helps.

I deffinatly like it. WhSeems like a lot of fun, and creative. I am not sure, if I will be able to help you much with the following, but I would try my best... Wat I would probably add is a goblin tinkerer... you could start making the lands artifacts and make that goblin have his way destroying them with him completely out of danger... You could also equip him and protect him when destroying more expensive "artifacts"... I would also think of maybe throwing in some blue... But I think you probably gave this more thought than I did anyhow, Kudos!

My friend tried building a deck similar to this that worked out pretty well...went 3-1 in standard at our local shop. I like this build a lot though. I might suggest creeping corrosion and slag fiend for this deck. The corrosion is there if you have two or three wellsprings or simulacrums sitting around. It also completely wrecks tempered steel decks. Slag fiend would be completely ridiculous in here especially because you're focusin on artifact destruction. I've also found artillerize and beast within to work really well with the wellsprings and simulacrums in here. Those are just my thoughts, hope they were helpful.
