25$ Modern Deck: Ensoul Power!!! (Modern MTG Deck)

Ever since its release in M15, Ensoul Artifact has captured my attention as a deckbuilder. Its ability to become a 5/5, 2cmc creature with pseudo-haste (provided the artifact was played the turn before) leads to absolutely crazy swings. The downside (like most aura enchantments) is that it sets itself up for 2 for 1's. This deck attempts to minimize this downside while achieving maximum tempo.

Ensoul Artifact + "X" Synergies:

Thraben Inspector = ensoul the clue token, making any removal simply a 1 for 1, or even a 1 for 0 if you can pop the clue token in response!
Aether Spellbomb = it is basically a clue by itself, but it can also double as bounce
Darksteel Citadel = indestructible 5/5 is good times!
Ornithopter or Bone Saw = 0 cmc cards are easy targets, and the flying on the thopter is excellent

The Beaters

Court Homonculus = with so many artifacts and artifact generators in the deck, this guys is nearly always a 2/2 for 1 mana
Glint Hawk = with the 0 cmc cards in the deck, as well as clue tokens, and the spellbomb, there are plenty of targets to have this guy come in no problem
Kor Skyfisher = same idea as glint hawk, except this guy can also bounce thraben inspector to make another clue! (can also bounce lands if you miss a land drop, or need a basic to have a port town come in untapped)
Illusory Angel = the curve topper, lots of low and 0 cmc cards to get this girl in easy turn 3. The dream is to use THE SAME ornithopter to play your glint hawk --> kor skyfisher --> llusory angel. More often then not however, the hawk and skyfisher allow you to bounce any 0cmc cards you played the first couple of turns and put them into your hand to set up for a top deck angel.

Finishing Touches:

Open the Armory = the ability to find ensoul artifact is invaluable. However there are times when Grafted Wargear is a safer and more reliable option, as it sets up for 2 for 1's far less and makes all of our creatures insanely strong. 3/4 Ornithopter? I'll take it! Lastly, sometimes it is extremely important to have that 0cmc Bone Saw in your hand, and being able to find it to play your skyfisher's and illusory angels can come up very clutch in tight situations.
Mana Leak = its mana leak....
Unified Will = hard counter that has great synergy with the amount of low cmc creatures we play

Hope you guys enjoy the deck! It is a blast to play and it actually runs very smoothly. I'll put up a sideboard soon as well. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions! Go budget magic!!!!
