The point of this deck is to get out big early-game creatures (Carapace ForgerMyr EnforcerSomber Hoverguard) really fast, then eventually get out Atog and sacrifice all your artifacts to buff him up a ton, then swing at someone with the aid of Distortion Strike, or just Fling it at someone. If you're lucky and have both, you can attack one person then fling it at the other, usually killing them both. I often find that the opponent will have 10 or less health before Atog if I get lucky with card draw, as on turn 3 I can get out two 4/4s per turn.

Because it plays so fast I often find my hand empty by turn three. And thats why I have Thoughtcast and Rush of Knowledge which combos really well with all the high drop affinity creatures I have, especially Myr Enforcer.

This deck will often find itself completely ruined by counters or removal, as the opponent can just wait until I've sacrificed everything, then kill Atog before I have a chance to Fling him. So I added Blue Elemental Blast and Red Elemental Blast into the sideboard, to deal with pesky red and blue decks.
