(M15)

Ensoul Artifact, Ornithopter and Darksteel Citadel were all spoiled in M15 and I think we all instantly thought about a deck like this. Well here is my first draft.

Ideally, we want to be on this plan:

Turn 1: Land + Ornithopter

Turn 2: Island + Ensoul Artifact on Ornithopter and swing with a 5/5 in the air

We can also have a similar, but slower, effect with Darksteel Citadel:

Turn 1: Darksteel Citadel Turn 2: Island + Ensoul Artifact on Darksteel Citadel

Turn 3: Swing with a 5/5 indestructible

One of the big weaknesses of a deck where we enchant our creatures is our opponent getting two for one with spot removal. This is where Shrapnel Blast shines in not only finishing off our opponents last few points of precious life but also providing value by sacrificing our artifact creatures that are dying in combat or to spot removal.

Shrapnel Blast can really give a deck full of smallish creatures, like Phyrexian Revoker and Ornithopter a lot of reach. For instance: If we draw Ornithopter late or have him early with no Ensoul Artifact we can use him as an effective chump blocker with the upside of using Shrapnel Blast after blocks but before damage. Shrapnel Blast also has great synergy with Scuttling Doom Engine by providing MAX value with 11 damage straight to the dome.

SIDEBOARD

Stormbreath Dragon is coming in against any white deck like U/W control or weenie.

Gainsay is for our control matches and Mono-blue. Likely dropping our lower-impact creatures like Chief Engineer against control and cut a few Chandra's Phoenix against Mono-blue because of evolved cloudfin raptor's and Nightveil Specter .

Keranos, God of Storms is there for the black match-up.

Lightning Strike is how we transition our deck into a burn strategy, often against decks with removal where our lower-impact creatures lose a lot of value. Also very good against aggro strategies.

Satyr Firedancer is for the mid range match and this card has time and time again proven its power against those decks. We are very likely bringing in Lightning Strike in those matches as well.

Thoughts and feedback welcome.
