A deck idea with Myr Landshaper as the primary source of this deck along with Liquimetal Coating for making permanents artifacts. The idea is mainly making all permanents artifacts, while destroying them for benefits such as Oxidize , or Trygon Predator, but more importantly for Splinter. because I can wipe my opponent's source of mana by turn 3 or 4...of course depending on my draw but it is typically the goal in how this deck runs and if not mana can also be the duplicates of cards they have in their deck.

Making permanents artifacts also help Cranial Plating (currently sideboarded) become even more abusive to provide a strong boost to creatures such as Etched Champion who would be practically be unblockable and protected, and Ezuri's Brigade would just a be a heavy beater to deal with. Tanglewalker synergizes with Myr Landshaper to make my creatures unblockable (currently have her sideboarded).

Elvish Mystic for the extra mana to help speed my deck up. Viridian Harvest for the 6 life in case an artifact gets destroyed or I destroy one of their transformed ones.

I recently added blue with Fabricate giving me the option to get my Liquidmetal coating, Etched Champion, or Myr Landshaper when needed. Also Gitaxian Probe for early draw plus gives me a glimpse of what my opponent's deck is all about.

Feedback is welcome, I am still in the works in making this deck better!
