Grixis Ensoul is back!

How to get big smashers on turn 3! Show

Tezzeret's Touch - Basically Ensoul Artifact. Great for putting on small, early-game fliers to close out a game fast. The fact that it gets returned to your hand when it dies is just gravy.

Siege Modification - Amazing with Consulate Dreadnought to make a 10/11 first strike swinging on turn 3. Can be put on any creature, but usually a vehicle or flier is the best choice.

Small Artifact Creatures Show

Ornithopter - Great for turning on an Inventor's Apprentice, Unlicensed Disintegration, or Spire of Industry early-game, and is a great target for Tezzeret's Touch. Also is an easy way to get an artifact out for improvise on Maverick Thopterist and Reverse Engineer.

Consulate Dreadnought - Is used to combo with Siege Modification. Can sometimes be crewed, and when it is, it's amazing. Mainly there to count as an artifact, as Ornithopter is.

Bomat Courier - Little artifact that can generate some card advantage when it stops beating down.

Go-Wide Show

Pia Nalaar - Easy way to go wider, while providing a thopter token, which is a great target for Tezzeret's Touch. The thopter is also important as it can count towards improvise, Unlicensed Disintegration, Inventor's Apprentice, and even Spire of Industry. Also provides a late-game mana sink that can make blocking hard and make blocking impossible. It's legendary, so it's only a 3-of.

Maverick Thopterist - Just in here for basically the same reason as Pia Nalaar, but it doesn't provide a mana sink, but it does come with an extra thopter token, which is quite strong.

Strong Creatures Show

Inventor's Apprentice - Over-the-curve one-drop that can get in for some early damage, act as a good blocker, and threaten to attack some more.

Scrapheap Scrounger - A relentless beater that keeps coming back, that also counts as an artifact.

Heart of Kiran - Amazing card that can be crewed for 3 to make a Serra Angel. Is an amazing target for Tezzeret's Touch, and especially Siege Modification.

Aethersphere Harvester - Amazing flying body that can gain lifelink, and can benefit from our Aether Hubs.

Other Spells Show

Unlicensed Disintegration - Amazing removal spell that hits just about everything (Sadly not Emrakul, the Promised End), and deals 3 to the face.

Reverse Engineer - Amazing draw spell that can put us right back into the game. Usually is casted for 2-3 mana.

Sideboard Show

Fevered Visions - Great against control or other slow decks, and lets us draw into a lot of gas if we run low in those matchups.

Radiant Flames - Great sweeper that can swing games in your favor. May look out of place in an aggro deck, but that is precisely the point; nobody expects it. Also, you can just play around your own Radiant Flames.

Shock - Great answer to the Saheeli Rai + Felidar Guardian combo. Can also take out small creatures if need be.

Metallic Rebuke - Great against bigger spells. Can be usually casted for just .
