Deck description is out of date, will update soon

Considering trying to splash in black and improvise to get more out of the clues. Wish me luck lol. As it stands, I think this is a pretty solid control build tho. The Green and clues really give it the draw power control wants. Sort of reminiscent of Dig Through Time, just gradually instead of all at once.

Creature Prevention and Removal

Horribly Awry - Great against the dreaded Scrapheap Scrounger

Revolutionary Rebuff - Not as great, but it's nice to stop early game creatures.

Disperse - Yes, it's legal. It's not the greatest, but we need it because even tho we want to, we can't prevent everything from resolving.

Engulf the Shore - Awesome. Not so awesome when we have a field of Constructs, but awesome enough.

Counter Magic

Negate - Yes, I'm the type of player who mains Negates. Fight me.

Void Shatter - Equally fantastic against Scrapheap, but also just a nice catch all counter spell that exiles.

Disallow - Honestly this is really only here because I want to Disallow someone's Evolving Wilds

Set Up and Win Cons

Trail of Evidence - We're a control deck so we cast shit tons of instants and sorceries. This gives us a clue for doing what we like doing.

Tireless Tracker - Our only creature in the deck. Gives us clues, and we can make him gigantic.

Reverse Engineer - Draw power. Generally can cast for UU and improvise the rest with clues. Then, if we have Metallurgic Summonings by then we get a 5/5. Not too shabby.

Metallurgic Summonings - This is kind of our win con, because we can flood the board with constructs. But it also acts as cover for Mechanized Production so don't forget about its activated ability. Don't tell anybody, but this isn't really the win con. It's a distraction, and a way to grab back instants and sorceries. Tho it can win us the game.

Mechanized Production - Our actual win con. You don't need 8 of the artifact that you equip it to, so throw it on your biggest Construct and generate clues with the Tracker or Trail of Evidence. Don't bring out unless you have cover for it tho, we only get 2 shots at winning with it lol.

Sideboard

Against Control
-Dispel
-Sphinx of the Final Word

Against Aggro
-Horribly Awry
-Engulf the Shore

That's all I got. I'm not really sure what else to do lol. I haven't played against any of the big 3 with this yet, so I'm not 100% sure what to throw in the boards.

Final Note

Before you say it, I'm not a big fan of Glimmer of Genius. I went with Reverse Engineer. I probably at some point will test more with Glimmer, but I didn't like it initially. I want to cheat in my drawspells, playing them fairly is too mainstream.
