Maybe March of the Machines ? Then you could simply convert their lands into artifacts to destroy them. Or Karn, Silver Golem .

If you have some money saved up you could try 4x Breeding Pool

I didn't realize I moved all of your comments to the update section before replying. You can click the update so see the old comments but if you remember what you said, see below.

    @Kornex2000. But I like Ulamog's Crusher haha. I included it because it was the cheapest Eldrazi with the Annihilator ability. Although the Simic Sky Swallower you suggested is pretty well protected for only 1 less mana. I will definitely test it. and thanks for the vote :)

    @RobotsAndPuppets. Glissa Sunseeker is too situational since it depends on an 'exact' CMC. But thanks anyway. It has gotten me thinking about better ways to tap and destroy artifacts.

    @SobbingAcorn. At first I couldn't figure out why you suggested March of the Machines but now that I think about it, it lets me destroy lands for free since they will become 0/0 creatures when Liquimetal Coating taps. I really like the idea and I'll test it next game.

    @FlamLordD19. Breeding Pool would definitely fix my mana issues, as Insanity_Teck had previously suggested. That's what I get for cleaning up comments haha. But it does add to the cost of the deck so maybe one day. I think I will add a non budget section to the description though.

Hi, how about Mycosynth Lattice ?

I don't know who asked about Glissa Sunseeker but I don't see how it is "too situational". Did you misread it as the number of lands you control? Because the only time glissa won't be able to destroy an artifact is if you have lands tapped or if their permanent has a mana cost that is larger than the number of lands you control.

Mycosynth Lattice has been suggested 3 times now lol :p
Here are the other comments.

I don't think it's a good card for this deck and it is also too expensive considering that this deck is tagged as budget.

Thanks for the comment though.

@parasitian no I misread 'mana pool' as the amount of lands you control. It was late :p

the manacost may be quite expensive, but have you though about Memnarch or Master Transmuter or even Etherium Sculptor ?

+1 for me. Have you considered Mycosynth Lattice to trun every thing into an artifact? I would also consider useing red in this deck so you can Vandalblast in combination with Mycosynth Lattice to blow everything up. Or use Hellkite Tyrant to take everything away from your opponent, or opponents if in a multiplayer game. Over all, this deck looks really fun to play.

What about Myr Landshaper ? You can then use other Myr such as Myr Retriever to bring it back if killed, Myr Galvanizer to untap your Myr Landshaper , and I believe there is an infinite mana loop using Palladium Myr and 2x galvanizer (which will produce infinite colorless mana and infinitely untap your Myr Landshaper .

This is an incredibly fun and entertaining concept. Kudos, sir!

you need more Sculpting Steel s and maybe a few clone cards.

I like the deck :)

Mine is similar except for it's red and green. Land/Artifact Destruction

1+ for you :)

This is sweet. +1

You are lacking in a win con though. It's not likely that you will draw your 1 of Ulamog's Crusher , or have 8 mana to cast it. You should try to find something cheaper that still wins the game.

Maybe a Deus of Calamity?

I really like the deck. I would think about moving it into rug so you can get even more removal and play Goblin Electromancer , but maybe that idea is stupid and will mess up the deck to bad.

Prototype Portal could be fun give you unlimited Sculpting Steel

I agree with TheOneAndOnlyJ-Bow, a Hellkite Tyrant would be especially fun. You could also use Domineer or Memnarch to have some fun taking people's stuff.

Hmmmm G/U instead of G/R most of the time i see this deck type in G/R because of the amount of artifact removal red has but i like this one a lot more you've clearly put a lot of work into getting people to hate you if you play this deck. XD

Askani28: You have to use CSS inside a div tag.

Well, I don't want to come across as a turd, rather I want to try to be constructive towards another fellow land destroyer...

I think this deck is way too slow. I play tested it over and over, and it is simply too slow. At best, land destruction starts off turn 3. Avg turn 4 is when the lando really takes off. If the enemy went first, they will have 4 lands out by then. There are tons of powerful decks that need only a few lands. I think aggro/merfolk/buff/infect decks will toy with this deck.

If you want to stick with this tactic of converting lands into artifacts and then popping them, then I strongly suggest mana ramp. 1 cost ramp like Utopia Sprawl and Birds of Paradise , there are many others, will allow turn 3 land destruction more consistently. Then I would recommend Deus of Calamity for some brute force.

I run a different variation of land destruction which has consistent turn '2' land destruction and destruction continually thereafter holding my enemy at 1 land from the get go; 2 lands, if they went first. This way they absolutely cannot get out any lethal low cost combos. I suggest you check it out just for the sake of knowledge and discussion: The Ultimate Land Decimator!.

If you implement mana ramp, and maybe some Stone Rain s, Your deck can get turn 2 lando going, along with your mid game mass artifact/land destruction. This would help the coherence and consistency of the deck as a whole; I believe.....

What are your thoughts?

Master of Etherium + March of the Machines + Mycosynth Lattice = no lands for opponents.

You may have considered this, but I see no one else has pointed it out.
