Artifact (1)


My 2nd EDH deck. Some minor value cuts here and there, but the overall objective of the deck is there. Suggestions for minor tweaks would be appreciated. It's very much mana ramp from what I've been able to test with it. I'm used to that playstyle with experience with Elf decks in the past.

The primary objective is to get Kuldotha Forgemaster + Thopter Assembly on the field together. Thopter Assembly will generate artifacts for Kuldotha Forgemaster, to then search the deck for Darksteel Forge, Tamiyo's Journal (another artifact food source), Unwinding Clock, Akroma's Memorial, Candles of Leng, Staff of Nin, Master of Etherium, Steel Overseer, or other major support artifacts that are needed at the time. The goal is to become self-sufficient off artifacts, so you essentially have an entire turn during everyone else's turns, to outnumber and outdamage all opponents. This is why there's so little land in the decklist. Combining this with the ability to tap other mana sources to pour into Gemstone Array when it would otherwise be wasted, leaves more opportunities available for in case I need to make a larger push further down the line with Sydri, Galvanic Genius's effects.

I would definitely replace my Orzhov Cluestone with a Dimir Signet, when I can find the part for a reasonable price, as well as replace Guardian Idol with Azorius Signet. Seer's Lantern and Contraband Kingpin help greatly with finding the big parts that need to come out. I also want to put Ethersworn Adjudicator in over Enigma Sphinx, on the off chance she Cascades over the forge, and giving my deck a method of threat removal. For Thran Dynamo, which I really want to fit in for its great mana ramp tradeoff, I'd have to drop Chalice of Life  . It's nice health gen, but I hardly ever trigger Chalice of Death  , and Pristine Talisman gens life and mana for the same cost. At most, I find my health gen more often offsetting Cryptolith Fragment  , which I use more for the group slug effect than for the rainbow mana. I will also exchange Candles of Leng for Tower of Fortunes for the increase in card draw, and remove the need to show what I draw. Mycosynth Golem for Blinkmoth Urn to remove giving opponents free mana. Memnarch for Stuffy Doll, since Stuffy doesn't really do much for the deck, other than single out an opponent and generate a lot of unnecessary hate.

Thanks to RightyLefty's suggestion, I love the idea of Deathtouch Caltrops, and would have to place it over Anticipate. I've had a lot of times where Anticipate shows me 2 things I'd like to keep, but I only get one, and the other goes to the bottom.
