The new Emry, Lurker of the Loch inspired me to make an affinity deck for standard. She's a powerful card advantage engine in any artifact deck, and we'll still have Steel Overseer and Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge in standard by the time ELD comes out.

This one's more midrange than aggro. We have enough card advantage to play more than one card a turn in the mid to late game, and our creatures keep getting bigger thanks to Steel Overseer If we fail to kill the opponent with our creatures, we've got Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge to finish them off.

Steel Overseer and the new Corridor Monitor have a fairly potent synergy. Drop Corridor Monitor , activate Steel Overseer while Corridor Monitor 's ETB is still on the stack, and then use Corridor Monitor 's ETB to untap Steel Overseer and activate it again. You've now added 2 +1/+1 counters to all your creatures (except Emry, but you don't want to be attacking with her anyways).

Chamber Sentry is a decent source of removal that's also a creature. With Steel Overseer , we can keep using it over and over again, and also kill bigger things than we ordinarily could, having only two colors of mana.

The deck's vulnerable to boardwipes, and I think Esper Control is still going to be prominent post-rotation, hence the maindeck Negate s. May swap them for something else once I've had a chance to test.

With Emry, Scrabbling Claws becomes easily-recurrable card draw, as well as already being efficient graveyard hate. May drop the number to 2 or 3 in the future.

Arcanist's Owl seems good, but I don't think we need any more card advantage than we already have.

Considering we've got the shocklands in standard, and like half our cards are colorless, it might be worth adding an additional color to the deck. Probably red or white.
