How to Control Metal for $25

Modern Artifact Budget Control Mono-Blue

Heavystorm274


Basic idea is to put a bunch of metal on the board and gain control through efficient interruption and advantage.

Our creatures:

Ornithopter and Memnite: Obvious quick drops for extra protection

Myr Servitor : How to maintain creature presence with a 1-mana drop 101

Vedalken Certarch : Solid interruption against biggies like Tarmogoyf, etc.

Trinket Mage: Tutors many key cards in our deck, such as Myr Servitor and other cards that are about to be explained.

Counters and advantage:

Stoic Rebuttal : Artifact-themed counterspell. 'Nuff said.

Mana Leak: Because it's budget.

Thirst for Knowledge: This card basically ensures that we can get multiple Myr Servitor on board as well as the obvious draw power.

Thoughtcast: Extra draw power for mid-to-late game

Springleaf Drum: Tutorable mana dork that can even let you go for Cranial's speed equip

Other interruption and buffers:

Cranial Plating: Self-explanatory

Ghostfire Blade: Tutorable buff when needed. More useful with artifacts than with normal creatures.

Ensoul Artifact: Because extra pushes and 5/5's for 2 mana are just too good.

Aether Spellbomb : Tutorable Unsummon as well as extra draw power.

Will add more to the description when deck is finalized.
