I'd like to suggest Quicksilver Amulet if you wanted to get your creatures out extremely quickly and without waiting for the mana to ramp up --- with afew of those (I'd say maybe 3 or 4), you could get big guys like Blightsteel Colossus or your Eldrazi creatures out on turn 5 (or less if you can throw down those Palladium Myr s quickly).

If you wanted to pull out some of your Mainboard in trade for some heavy-hitting artifacts like Blightsteel Colossus or Darksteel Colossus (ect), Mycosynth Golem would be great for making your mana work a little harder for you, and has the possibility to lower the costs of all your artifacts (creatures or otherwise) to 0.

If you wanted to go with the Amulet --- I'd suggest adding in more Eldrazi creatures and other high-cost heavy hitting creatures and also: -1 Eldrazi Temple and -1 Tectonic Edge (or -2 Tectonic Edge ) for +2 Doubling Cube .

If you wanted to go with the Affinity for Artifacts --- I'd suggest slightly different land changes: -1 Eldrazi Temple and -1 Tectonic Edge (or -2 Tectonic Edge ) for +2 Eye of Ugin , and seeing if maybe you could squeeze in a few Thopter Assembly s to boost your number of Artifacts on the field.

I would run 4x Sol Ring . I would take out the Lightning Greaves and maybe one of the Expedition Map s. You have 26 land so hitting your land should not be an issue.

It's a modern deck so Sol Ring is a no-go. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

Oh yeah that's my bad. I read that but it didn't register. I figured it couldn't be that simple. +1 either way

Expedition Map still has good value because with the Urzatron lands in here, it's often just as important which land you have as how many. The Map is less about mana smoothing and more about tutoring a specific piece.

How 'bout another Emrakul for infinite turns?

I don't know how I feel about Myr Superion , having a hand full of them is unpleasant when the only card you can use to cast it is Palladium Myr

I actually use Prototype Portal most to bring out Myr Superion .

Quicksilver Amulet is definitely an excellent way to get your fatties down fast.

Just wanted to say I absolutely love this deck, it's amazing!

@Tenebrex: Thanks man. I really enjoy playing it. It may not be the strongest deck but it is definitely a fun deck to run.

I say add 4 Darksteel Citadel because:

1.They are indestructible.

2.Imprint it on Prototype Portal so you can always have a land a turn.

3.They help with affinity for artifacts.

+1, great deck! I love that it uses absolutely zero color.

YAY MONO-BROWN!!

Why not 4 Emrakul? Also your deck needs a way to deal with aggro, particularly infect.

Is this the most upvoted deck on tappedout?

March 17, 2014 10:11 p.m.

SandyDufresne says... #19

@SpaderAce: No, there are 3 other decks in front of it. Swamps, Best.Deck.Ever. and Grand Illusion are all in front of it. (Not that I'm counting.)

SpaderAce says... #20

ALMOST THERE! Lol, this deck looks pretty cool, almost wish I played modern :P

How 'bout Trinisphere , Lodestone Golem and Thorn of Amethyst ? They win storm decks instannly and are always greater pain to your opponent than for you due to your bigger mana production., except when opponent plays tron too. Sundering Titan is also nice addition to denial.

@Colgate: Holy crap. Those are great suggestions. I'll figure out how to get them in. Any suggestions. I know that I'll be replacing Myr Superion , Prototype Portal and Dreamstone Hedron . I want to add Etched Champion for chump blocking and I need to add something for card draw. I thought Runed Servitor or Solemn Simulacrum . What do you think?

March 18, 2014 1:28 p.m.

DrLakis says... #23

I don't understand the point in adding Solemn Simulacrum since you have to search your library for a 'basic land card' and this deck doesn't have basic lands. The other changes, I think they are good suggestions.

March 30, 2014 1:05 p.m.

SandyDufresne says... #24

@DrLakis: I added it because it allows me to draw a card when he dies when I chump block. Can you suggest another creature that would allow me to draw? I tend to run out of cards to use because of the high casting cost associated with this type of build.

March 30, 2014 1:34 p.m.

demongod says... #25

why don't you just have like 5 forests, add Ancient Stirrings , and then Solemn Simulacrum will actually let you search for a land? tron decks shouldn't be all colorless, it's not beneficial at all other than being able to say "it's colorless"
