This is my first attempt at a modern deck for a while, but I really wanted to use Master Transmuter in a deck, as it looks like it should be really good fun. Basically, the idea is simple - aim to get a transmuter out turn 3 (with assistance from Etherium Sculptor) and get a Blightsteel Colossus or Sphynx of the Steel Wind in to play on turn 4 by swapping it for a 0 cost artefact, or artefact land.

A lot of cards here (removal and counter mainly) are in here because they are what I know to be good removal, but I haven't got a great knowledge of all the modern legal cards - only more recent ones. Any suggestions welcome!

Edit: Added Lightning Greaves as the Master Transmuter can be quite vulnerable to removal. Also, giving haste to the colossus when it comes in on turn 4 is rather nice. Just need to find a way to make him unblock-able now...
