Who doesn't love Being able to cast a Reality Smasher on T2? This fringe deck is just pure fun to pilot. However the deck is weak to mulligans, Blood Moon-decks and Ponza-style decks. Only a handful of us are currently working on this.
My card choices;
Cutting Inkmoth Nexus, Steel Overseer & Arcbound Ravager- Early testing stages of the deck proved Steel Overseer was by far the weakest card left over from the original Affinity strategy. Without Overseer the Ravagers also became significantly worse. Without Overseer or Ravager a T3 poison win is just about impossible.EDIT: After more testing Inkmoth Nexus and Arcbound Ravager were added back in.
Ghostfire Blade-In order to not lose artifact count and can make our weenies a small threat in a pinch. Being able to equip for 1 mana to a TKS or Smasher is just a bonus.
AEther Hub/Spire of Industry- Allows us to play 4 colored spells in the main without hurting the manabase and having access to all 5 colors allows for an incredibly flexible sideboard.EDIT: Having access to another win-con is better imo than having access to colored spells.
Edit: In my opinion the deck has 7-8 flex slots.
Edit: Ancient Stirrings was added as it hits every card in our deck. Need a Ravager? Temple? Eldrazi? Equipment? And digging 5 cards is insane.
Sideboard edit: Modern sideboards are for silver bullets right?
Tormod's Crypt-Goyf, Delve
Grafdiggers Cage-Storm, Dredge, Hollow One
Ratchet Bomb-Ponza, Bogles
Mind Stone-Blood Moon
Stubborn Denial-Storm, Bogles, Breach, Control
Shattering Spree-Affinity
Etched Champion-Jund, Jeskai, Abzan, Mardu, Grixis, removal
Galvanic Blast-Hollow One, Merfolk, Elves, Gaddock Teeg, mana dorks
The landbase is also flexible allowing for colorless land destruction, more artifact creatures or more colors.
Edit: Gain 3-5 life for 2 mana? Don't mind if I do.
As stated before this is a new deck which means the list is not set in stone. Cards like Serum Powder/Eternal Scourge, Vile Aggregate/Ruination Guide, Vault Skirge, Arcbound Ravager with Inkmoth Nexus, Field of Ruin, Ghost Quarter or even Dismember are still viable alternatives.
EDIT:Vile Aggregate and Ruination Guide are not as much gas as one would think. Maybe adding Matter Reshaper or Eldrazi Mimic to the list would help those.
Vault Skirge is very important. Or our percentage to Burn drops significantly.
