This is an old school esper artifacts deck using a bunch of the creatures from Shards of Alara. It is relatively inexpensive because most of the cards are little used. I threw in some more contemporary cards in an attempt to revitalize the deck. The main thing is to either cast Shape Anew or Ensoul Artifact on Ornithopter and Darksteel Ingot to possibly get Sphinx of the Steel Wind or Sharding Sphinx early or to use the free 5/5 to beat your opponent down. There is also the Seance to bring them back for a turn after they are dead and possibly use Shape Anew on them before they get exiled. Sanctum Gargoyle is to synergize with Courier's Capsule for card advantage.
