I like the Ensoul Artifact type decks out there, but here is my version with a bit of a twist. This is post-rotation. Enjoy. And any suggestions or +1's are welcome.
Now, to the deck:
The combos:
Ensoul Artifact+Darksteel Citadel = 5/5 indestructible (Possible turn 3 swinging)
Ensoul Artifact+Ornithopter = 5/5 flying (possible swinging turn 2)
Ensoul Artifact+Whip of Erebos = 5/5 creature when needed.
Shrapnel Blast+Ornithopter/Darksteel Citadel/Whip of Erebos = 5 damage to the face.
Shrapnel Blast+
Scuttling Doom Engine
= 11 damage to the face (possible 17 if attacked prior and damage went through) Ex)
Thassa, God of the Sea
+ attack with
Scuttling Doom Engine
+ Shrapnel Blast
More from the Main Deck:
Generator Servant to get out a
Scuttling Doom Engine
out early with haste (very key!). Or to use to get anything out on the board early.
Voyage's End
= to bounce creatures and slow down my opponent.
Thassa, God of the Sea
offers me unblockable for my creatures and the SCRY!
Underworld Cerberus
= a nasty creature to deal with and hard to block.
Flame-Wreathed Phoenix
= a decent flying creature that can help give me a tell on what an opponent has in his/her hand.
Hero's Downfall = to deal with nasty creatures and planeswalkers on the board.
Thoughtseize = to get rid of that necessary card in the opponent's hand.
Whip of Erebos = awesome card for lifelike, bring back a creature in need. Also, a targetable artifact for Shrapnel Blast or Ensoul Artifact.
Curse of the Swine
= to remove Gods from the board, or any threats I deem needed to be removed.
Keranos, God of Storms = decent card to have in time of need. Could be a free lightning bolt or card draw.
Sideboard:
Phyrexian Revoker = the card says it all. And it's another artifact. Would be utilized in control match ups or combo match ups.
Anger of the Gods = in here for match ups against say...
Sylvan Caryatid
/Elvish Mystic ramp decks. Yeah, this is needed. (Or even a tribal Rakdos Minotaur deck). Mainly used for aggro decks.
Swan Song = used for control match ups.
Stormbreath Dragon is side boarded because although he's great. He's more of a situation type card. Would swap for the
Flame-Wreathed Phoenix
against white control decks.
Keranos, God of Storms = decent card to have in time of need. Could be a free lightning bolt or card draw.
Bile Blight
= to swap in for the Hero's Downfall if the match calls for it.
Stain the Mind
= For those decks that have a stupid loop or combos.
Erebos, God of the Dead
= for against lifegain decks and to maybe throw in some card draw.
SIDENOTE:
Once Khans of Tarkir is released, I will probably be looking to add to this deck to make it better, and one card I have my eye on is Ugin's Nexus. Would probably put 2 in here. That mixed with a Shrapnel Blast would deal 5 damage, and I get an extra turn? Possibly do this on turn 4? This would pretty much give me the definite edge in any game.
