Also known as "Silly Caw, Birds Can't Hold Blades!" and "Quick, Indy, Hide in my Artifacts!"

Win condition is fairly obvious -- get Darksteel Juggernaut and/or Glint Hawks on the field, then nuke everything. Signal Pests are cheap to play after a nuke, and fast before one, allowing my side of the field to threaten the opponent at all times. Augury Owl and Aether Adept are generally good control, and if Venser comes out they're excellent to bounce. Aegis Angel is good in her own right, but also shields a Signal Pest from the board sweep.

NOTE: I only have one each of Karn and Venser IRL, and they're expensive cards. That's why I only have one of each in here -- to make it a deck I could realistically put together. Everything else that's costly, I already have (i.e. Day of Judgments.) I may in the future be tempted to spring for at least one more Venser, though, since he's so good for this deck...

Also I'd like to get Tezzeret Agent at some point, since the Opal will splash B for him just fine and he fits perfectly...
