Here's a budget version of this deck if big pricetags give you chronic depression:
*BUDGET* iRobot | Hangarback Affinity
Modern
SCORE: 3 | 825 VIEWS
This version of Affinity is a build-around of Hangarback Walker. The deck aims to utilize the card to its full effectiveness. Day's Undoing acts as a refuel; we can easily cast our entire hand during the first couple of turns, so being able to do it twice in the first few turns is amazing.
Here's the breakdown: (Note: I won't go over the obvious Affinity pieces, only the ones that stand out)
THE ENGINE:
Hangarback Walker: The reason this deck is the way it is. Usually cast as a 1/1 for 2, this guy can cause a lot of havoc for our opponent. We'll get to all the crazy interactions below...
Day's Undoing: Basically, we cast our entire hand of Mox Opals, Ornithopters, and Signal Pests, and then cast this spell to cast a bunch of other stuff. This card is tempo heaven.
Steel Overseer: This is an Affinity staple, but usually there aren't a playset of them in the deck. The reason they shine here is Hangarback Walker. We can pump up the Walker to a high amount before saccing it and getting a lot of Thopters.
Arcbound Ravager: Another Affinity all-star, Ravager does more in this deck than most. Not only can we sac Walker to it, but we can use Modular and make the Walker bigger as well. It's a two-way interaction that's scary any way you look at it.
Shrapnel Blast: This spell takes the spot of Galvanic Blast for a few reasons. Firstly, because we can sac Hangarback Walker to it. Secondly, it deals 5 damage as opposed to 4. It also doesn't require Metalcraft to function, which is a plus.
Master of Etherium: While it doesn't really combo with Hangarback Walker, it has amazing synergy and value. The 1/1 Thopter tokens make the Master huge, and all our Thopters become 2/2 flyers as well! What's not to love?
EVERYTHING ELSE IS STANDARD AFFINITY.
