IMPORTANT: Do not use slow lands for this deck, as it is necessary to have mana each turn. You can instead choose to take more fast dual-coloured lands if you are prepared to spend more money.

General:

The deck has some combos to get an early win before the opponent will have a chance to properly retaliate, but also contains some cards to provide a safe way through their big/dangerous creatures and still win late-game.

Ornithopter or Darksteel Citadel + Ensoul Artifact for a turn two 5/5 with flying or indestructible.

Ornithopter + Illusory Angel for a turn three 4/4 flying with no downside.

Scuttling Doom Engine or any ensouled artifact + Aqueous Form for free damage and scry (which is very useful in this deck and one of the reasons for Magma Jet )

Generator Servant => Scuttling Doom Engine (perhaps unblockable) with haste. Next turn attack again and Shrapnel Blast for profit.

Fate Foretold + Generator Servant : this will let you draw a card on turn 3 (hopefully) and on turn 4 when you sacrifice the servant to get a Scuttling Doom Engine on the battlefield. Also a useful enchantment for your big guys, especially when you know they have removal.

Artisan of Forms + Magma Jet , Stoke the Flames or one of the auras to copy your Scuttling Doom Engine (, Generator Servant ) or a nice creature an opponent controls. Combined with Messenger's Speed and Scuttling Doom Engine this card is a beast.

Sideboard:

Pin to the Earth to make the Scuttling Doom Engine unblockable or to disable dangerous creatures.

Negate against a similar deck or for example to disrupt combos.

Scuttling Doom Engine + Polymorphist's Jest for unblockable.

Tormod's Crypt to completely destroy delve decks.

Magma Spray is very important if you want to exile stuff.
