Infected Needles or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Semblance Anvil

This deck runs on that metallic flavor of artifacts. Specifically those with Infect. Yea, most people run green or black or some combination of the two, but I felt the need to be different. Eli Kassis ran a deck with many of the same threats I have here, but I think Semblance Anvil can be used to bring some heavy hitters onto the battlefield quickly. Who wouldn't want to reduce the cost of Blightsteel Colossus by 2 or 4?

Anyways, the game plan here is simple, although it is slower than most aggro decks. However, this hasn't hindered me at all during playtesting. Bringing out a turn 3 Semblance Anvil is pretty much necessary, and after that everything happens in stride. The next Anvil comes out for 1 and everything but the heaviest hitters are free after that point. A few cards with Proliferate add a little bit of pressure, both for creature removal and for ticking up those last few poison counters.
