Main goal of the deck- get Metalwork Colossus down with a Haunted Cloak attached to him (turn 4 or 5). We can ramp out Colossus by using cards like Fieldmist Borderpost, Mistvein Borderpost, and Talisman of Dominance. The deck works almost like a combo deck, surprising opponents by slamming down a hasty Metalwork Colossus for free.

The earliest I can attack with a 10/10- trample, haste, vigilance, is turn 3. Let me brake down the six card nut draw:

Turn 1: Island, bounce the island into a Fieldmist Borderpost (either borderpost will work), pass.

Turn 2: Island, Talisman of Dominance, tap the talisman to bounce the island into a second borderpost, pass.

Turn 3: Island, tap 3 for Haunted Cloak, (at this point the total converted mana cost of non-creature artifacts is exactly 11-> 2 borderposts, 1 talisman, and the cloak) cast Metalwork Colossus for free, pay 1 to equip the Cloak to swing in for 10 trample, vigilance, haste damage.

In conclusion, the 6 cards you need before turn 3 are: 1 Island. 2 Borderposts. 1 talisman. 1 Colossus. 1 Cloak.

One of my major concerns is this deck's weakness to stony silence and all the artifact hate in modern in general. The sideboard is pretty adaptable, but I'm worried it might be spread thin. If you have any ideas for sideboard improvement, let me know!

This deck is my jank baby, so +1 if you like it!
