Deck Description

As always, likes and comments/suggestions are appreciated!

Flavor text: "The world is already run by all manner of machines. One day they'll remind of us that fact." - Sagis Haz, artificer

This deck is all about getting out artifacts and and killing your opponent with your artifact creatures.

How to Play

As stated above, the idea behind this deck is to get out artifact creatures and beat down your opponent.

Master Transmuter is one of the main utility cards in this deck. You can use her ability to change out Ornithopter or another low cost artifact for your higher CMC artifacts and/or artifact creatures.

Steel Overseer is the engine of this deck and works as a means to make your other artifacts more powerful. Thousand-Year Elixir works well with Steel Overseer as using this combo will allow you to put 2 +1/+1 counters on all of your artifact creatures each turn. Tempered Steel serves as another means to make your artifact creatures more powerful.

Thopter Spy Network will allow you to put a 1/1 thopter token with flying onto the battlefield each upkeep, as well as draw a card each time one of your artifact creatures does combat damage to your opponent. Sharding Sphinx is another artifact creature that will help you ramp thopter tokens.

Spellskite and Ethersworn Canonist serve as the main defensive artifact creatures of this deck.

Filigree Angel, Sen Triplets, and Sharuum the Hegemon are the primary artifact creature cards you'll bring in with Master Transmuter, though there are certainly other artifact creatures you could bring in with her as well.

Akroma's Memorial and Darksteel Forge serve as additional means to increase the lethality and protection of your artifact creatures, respectively. Scourglass gives you board control by wiping the board of everything except lands and your artifact creatures/artifacts should you need to wipe the board.

The instant/sorcery cards in this deck help to fend off your opponent as to give you the time needed to ramp up artifact creatures for the win. Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas gives you artifact fetch and can also be used to make a not-so-imposing artifact creature more so as well as drain life based on the number of artifacts you have on the battlefield.

As always, I hope you enjoy this deck!
