Negate would be great mainboard material, if not at least sideboard for fending off removal, as well as an answer for Deflecting Palm

If you add Midnight Guard and Altar of the Brood you have an infinite mill combo which is pretty neat. It wouldn't be the focus but would be an excellent airbag. Midnight Guard , Ornithopter and Retraction Helix , Altar of the Brood . Also gives another great target for both Shrapnel Blast and Ensoul Artifact .

Let me know what you think!

I have now added a pair of both Deflecting Palm and Negate to my sideboard. Both of those cards are great mainboard material, but for now, the sideboard is there home. Also, thanks for all the comments, suggestions and upvotes! Greatly appreciated.

tormods crypt can be a dead draw in many situations, i think bribers purse and or astral cornacopia are far better replacementrs as they can both be cast for 0 or have value if cast for more as the situation calls for. Tormods crypt will only be good vs dredge style decks which will exist but will not be every match.I think siding the crpts and main the purse or otrher 0 drops with full time function would be better.

WOW... great deck!!! +1

kingperrytwin, that is a good call. Briber's Purse is more versatile then Tormod's Crypt and they both serve the same primary function in this deck. I have added 2 Purse's in place of 2 Crypt's. Thanks for the good advice.

Easy way to bathe a bloodsoaked champion.

You're seriously not trying to cast keranos on 20 lands, are you?

Energycore, yes indeed I have been casting Keranos on 20 lands. With 4 Generator Servant and 3 Springleaf Drum I have plenty of mana to cast Keranos among others. You don't agree?

Ok, does anyone really think that a 4-5 card combo is viable? It's neat, but c'mon.

Midnight Guard +Retraction Helix +Jeskai Ascendancy = Pownage

I do. Thopter love +1! PORNITHOPTER PLAYTEST and see.

+1 from me. Ran into this while looking for a viable standard legal perplexing chimera shell. Looks like this can turn into a lot of fun quickly.

I say forget springleaf and crypt and just protect ensoul with Stubborn Denial drop shore stalkers for Ghostfire Blade x3 those add up on thopter and just 1 to equip and they are a 2/4 flyer then 4/6 or even 6/8 plus you can turn on denial equiping to 2 powers or stacking blades. Stubborn is super good in this build.

Wow. Props on the deck. I was trying to tweak my artifact deck with the Scuttling + Shranpel and the Ensoul + Artifacts combos because it was just not quite strong enough. With the infinite combo, that's all taken care off! For sure a +1!
