Jan Jansen wants to build a beautiful artifact sac engine and convert the game with aristocrat triggers

We want to quickly play value artifacts and setup a recursion loop with Jan Jansen and one of our star goblins. We will try to card-draw as fast as possible to get one of these silly little guys. Once we've accrued enough value and have some nice card draw going, we'll want to untap Jan as often as possible and bring in one of our etb/ltb aristocrats to start dealing damage and close the game.

Removal in this deck is focused on hitting everyone at the board with limited single-target options. This makes for a little bit of a political play and I just think a lot of those cards are more fun to play. Council's judgment is such a fun discussion card and it makes us not look like the bad guy, so why not! Soul-shatter often does indeed shatter souls...and aetherdrif was kind enough to give us demonic junker which is just an absolute house in this deck.

If Jan is dead and hitting that high CMC, we can try and compensate with other token makers like somethering tithe and illustrious wanderglyph.

Quicksmith Genius eats up in this deck. Beezy from the nitpicking nerds said this card sucks but I think it's absolutely insane in this deck and helps find our critical recursion or untap pieces. I got your back Mia. A main objective is just to try to cycle or sacrifice artifacts like ichor wellspring and the implements to find any of our key pieces for untaps and graveyard recursion and this deck will absolutely churn through until we find some aristocrat closers like marionette master or Mirkwood bats.

A little flavor- Leonin Elder is just an awesome little lifegain guy I found and had to include. For one mana I can easily gain 3-6 life per turn if the ball is rolling! It isn't crazy, but you can't beat it for one mana. Gandalf the white is a pet card of mine and I'm excited to finally find a place for him. He may be a bit expensive, but if we're starting to get the engine churning, he can really improve our value output. Rose Room Treasuruer is another card I was thrilled to find. It's better anointed procession because we really would rather have treasure anyways but with optional removal. This card often overachieves in those stalled-out standoff games. Farid, Enterprising Salvager is another card I am just trying out. It's interesting since it can make junk artifacts, can give me looting to find key pieces, and can get some goad going to force pesky creatures to attack or at least cause some damage to my other opponents. I think he's fun and worth trying out. We'll see if he sticks around long term.

I would love feedback on optimizing this deck:) I'm always looking for extra optimization and cards that are unique for this mardu artifact type.
