Ornithopter plus some big Convoke effects maybe? There's some interesting artifact creatures in M14 and Theros too. The concern is if they're fast enough.

@ JakeHarlow -- Thanks for the upvote and comments! I figure the Rabblemaster will be amazing for convoke. One of my biggest fears is keeping the Kaboomest alive to make me the artifact tokens, which I've tried to remedy with the Hall and the Plate Mail (which is a junk rare but I like it...)

Plate Mail is so fun. I have one and was thrilled to pull it. Hmm...Pyromancer's Gauntlet may hold potential if you're looking to board in some burn for stall tactics.

@ JakeHarlow -- I had Pyromancer's Gauntlet in the original build, but I don't want to rely on Chief Engineer too much and be stuck with high-CMC artifacts in my hand. I'm also not running that much burn right now either, but it may go in.

What about Young Pyromancer ?

Accorder's Shield is also fast as hell. Will turn your 'Thopters into big old blockers. Airborne too.

@ JakeHarlow -- Ahh so many suggestions. It has a slow equip cost though. And, where do you think I can be finding room for all of this? Should I lessen the presence of the instants?

'Lil 'Mancer will be baller in this build. Just make sure you have enough spells to support its ability. I think a singleton Hammer is a great late game mana sink. Fated Infatuation for copying artifacts, or is that just for creatures? Still, 'Thopters.

Hmm. Spells vs Artifacts. I need to think for a sec about this. This is hard.

And before I forget--if you do go spell-heavy (Magma Jet and such), a beautiful SB card for you vs Hexproof decks will clearly be Glaring Spotlight .

Also. Strionic Resonator can double Young Pyromancer 's triggered ability. Worth it? Idk, but interesting nonetheless.

@ JakeHarlow -- I think artifacts would be more intersting, and Springleaf Drum is probably a good add. How low should I go on the counts of the spells though? Unless you think spells would be more effective.

I think 12 burns is ok. A dollop of countermagic on the SB and Mizzium or Anger.

With Convoke, you could go for some huge beaters. Guardian of the Ages , Colossus of Akros , even Gold-Forged Sentinel . With Young Pyro and enough spells, these could be feasible to cast.

Judge's Familiar might be a good 1-drop too. You want a bunch of little dudes.

On my phone now so posts will be brief and won't link cards.

I think the trick now is balancing the bombs from the pseudo ramp and production. I'm not sure if 8 burn and 4 counter is too much, and I could take 3-4 slots from there for Thopters or something. Also, soul of NP? Does he do creatures or permanents? I forget.. .

Permanents my friend, permanents.

Thanks :) I think hell be finding a place in here. Any other thoughts GoldGhost? Weak links? Suggestions? I'm open to anything!

He's nuts. Definitely good. A balancing act is tough here though. I need to think a bit. Control/staying alive stuff vs artifact bombs.

Ratchet Bomb ?

Yup yup yup basically my same train of thought right now. The bomb is in the SB. Time to sleep on this, I'll be back late tomorrow. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

Glad to help! I'll bring tomorrow any new thoughts.

I think Soul of New Phyrexia would be a pretty ideal beater. Trample 6/6 with a pretty amazing mana sink ability is amazing. Another good one might be Soul of Shandalar , especially as a mana sink.

Very very true.

@ JakeHarlow & GoldGhost012 -- Added Soul of New Phyrexia and Ornithopter in place of some of the instants. Thoughts?

I don't think 2x Dissolve does you much good, especially when they're your only non Chief Engineer blue cards and they cost UU. I'd replace them with more burn.

How often does Haunted Plate Mail get activated usually?

@ GoldGhost012 -- Agreed about the Dissolve s. Been staring at this trying to figure out where to replace them. Go with higher counts on what I have or something like Shock ?

I had yet to actually playtest this deck, I can't even get the cards on T/O yet :P

The biggest reason for Haunted Plate Mail is to make sure Goblin Kaboomist doesn't make himself go kaboom. Maybe Obelisk of Urd! as well?

Hmmm...seconded, go with the burn in place of Dissolve . I say Shock is solid. Maybe Searing Blood .
