This is a semi Block deck focused on the Mirrodin set Modular creatures (Arcbound Stinger, Arcbound Fiend, Arcbound Crusher etc.), in combination with some of the Scars of Mirrodin Proliferate cards (Inexorable Tide,Throne of Geth and Contagion Engine). Perfect for kitchen table groups, this deck works like a self powering factory. 2 counter Pentad Prisms quickly ramp out Inexorable Tides. With 1 or more of these enchantments out, your counter levels get out of control pretty quickly. Micromanage the counters on your Prisms to essentially have however much mana you need at any given time. Blue Sun's Zenith with Mycosynth Golem out and play all your creatures for free, proliferating every time getting more mana on Prisms and counters on creatures. Energy Chamber to boost prism mana production, or to boost Coretapper, Mycosynth Golem and Etched Oracle. BSZ and Arcbound Reclaimer let you recur any creature you want.

Artifact lands are entirely not necessary, so this could be made modern legal. They are added here for flavor. For a more serious version I would add Affinity lands and mana gen (Glimmervoid, Blinkmoth Nexus, Inkmoth Nexus and Mox Opals). However, the deck is very slow for the first few turns. This could be made a lot quicker of course with cards like Steel Overseer, but then we would start touching Affinity territory. As a result, Arcbound Ravagers are left out as they are far too powerful for the level I would normally play this deck at.

I'd like to keep the Mirrodin theme of this deck going, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd prefer if they were from the Mirrodin or Scars of Mirrodin blocks, however, any ideas for other fun interactions would be great!
