Debating pulling Avenger of Zendikar for Prossh, Skyraider of Kher. As Prossh just does more at 1 less CMC. Sac outlet + Fodder + Evasion = Win

Other choices to pull are the big artifact guys like: Thopter Assembly, Myr Battlesphere, and Wurmcoil Engine. The fact that they are colorless artifacts make them easier to cast, and also pulling double duty on the options to sac to the brothers. Wurmcoil Engine seems to be the one who might go rather than Avenger... He sits on the ground like Avenger and throws the fewest dudes for 6 CMC.

How well do Glissa, the Traitor and Goblin Welder work in your deck? I know they're good in theory, but in my build, I never got them to work.

I suggest running Overseer of the Damned. He's expensive, but it feels so good to sac the zombie token just to get a new one. Also, you should have enough tokens to make Skirsdag High Priest viable.

Rather than Cultivate, Kodama's Reach and Skyshroud Claim, I would run permanent ramp like Leaden Myr, Golgari Signet or Sphere of the Suns. Yes, lands are harder to destroy, but with artifact ramp, you have a much more explosive start and extra sac fodder.

I used to run a lot more artifacts and Liquimetal Coating but now that I have slimmed down the artifacts you may have a point.

I like the sorceries because I get a two for one with those choices, and atleast one land hits the battlefield now. I may put in Yavimaya Elder in place of Glissa.

The Goblin Welder is nice because after they sac the less choice artifacts I can send their sword to the grave or atleast make them trade for the one they didn't like. I can also get one of my artifacts back in trade for fodder and trigger grave pact and the like. Glissa makes a great blocker too.

Thanks for chiming in!

Wooded Bastion, and Graven Cairns will replace Terramorphic Expanse, and Savage Lands as soon as I can get them in hand. Relying to much on Chromatic Lantern I needed red mana yesterday bad and just didn't have enough.. Game lasted way to long when I had a win condition in hand but couldn't pull it off.

Dreadbore out for Beast Within

Thran Dynamo out for Birthing Pod

Seriously thinking about pulling Hull Breach for Illusionist's Bracers

Lastly thinking about pulling Kodama's Reach, and or Cultivate for Deathrite Shaman and or Feldon's Cane or Spellbook, or Voltaic Key

I just struggle with my creature selection and mana costs of my army to feel Birthing Pod is going to give me what I want/need it to do.

Feldon's Cane or Spellbook, or Voltaic Key just seem like more reliable utility cards for this build. I am leaving toward the key.

Seedborn Muse sounds like a nice trade for the Birthing Pod

Blood Artist will replace the Pod.

The Voltaic Key seems like something that would go with Birthing Pod really. Blood Artist's lifegain is nice though, I might try him out. I've been looking for ways to gain life, still haven't manged to get my Savra, Queen of the Golgari yet XD

I'm thinking of trying this package out once Origins is released to spice things up:
Goblin Welder
Voltaic Key
Gilded Lotus
Birthing Pod
Pia and Kiran Nalaar
Daretti, Scrap Savant
Wurmcoil Engine
Solemn Simulacrum (He's already in but doesn't hurt to put him in this group)
Liquimetal Coating
Skeleton Shard
Myr Retriever
Blightsteel Colossus
Sword of Light and Shadow
Sword of Feast and Famine
Sword of Body and Mind
Sword of Fire and Ice
Avaricious Dragon (More ways to force discard for reanimation)

More particularly I tried Sarkhan out and he just didn't seem to work well enough. To slow to be used with Shatter's Sacrifice and his removal isn't that great.

The reason I want all 4 swords in is because with Goblin Welder and Deretti I should have a better chance of still having artifact fodder for Shattergang, and also I can get rid of one that isn't pro to my opponent's creatures to get the right one.

Is there anything else super good I'm missing to try and play as many artifacts as possible?

Strionic Resonator can double a lot of token drops if it has a when whenever or at statement and most do...

Yeah so a Maze of Ith is needed against voltron style decks seriously got spanked quick by a 5 color Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck that attacked then morphed into a giant double striking trampling nightmare for me quickly. :-0

Ogre Battledriver and Acidic Slime are in right now and I am considering swapping one out for Archetype of Finality or Toxic Deluge. I may be off based with this decision... Open to hear feedback.

Rebuild, rethink, rinse repeat...
