I seem to like building combo decks in the wrong colors. Where before I've done Reanimator decks without B, this time I'm making artifact combo outside of the two colors that abuse it the most, W and U. I also love commanders with cmc < 4, so Slobad is my jam.

The purpose is to slowly grind out value from artifacts until I can combo off. I'm personally looking forward to putting Splinter Twin on Dross Scorpion and seeing how many scorpions I can get onto the battlefield (Exponential Scorpions is the name of my Mortal Kombat cover band). There aren't many infinite combos in here that you don't have to really work to assemble, so it's more about looking at your board state and figuring out how to best leverage your resources into a better position. Eventually you just accidentally stumble onto a combo.

For when you don't feel like comboing off, Purphoros, God of the Forge and his good buddy Myr Battlesphere are here to help. Also note that Battlesphere with Splinter Twin and Clock of Omens just kills people. Fun card. Purphoros also plays nicely with Wurmcoil Engine, especially when Goblin Welder is on hand to sacrifice and recur the Engine a bunch.

Blightsteel Colossus and his yang Darksteel Colossus are also here and raring to beat some heads in. Preferably early on with the help of Metalworker and Copper Gnomes. I don't like Hellkite Igniter as my beatstick since too often he has to wait for me to build up support. Good ol' Yin and Yangbot just go to town on people.

Along a similar line, I don't like Hellkite Tyrant. Seems like a great way to put all your eggs in one basket and this deck can't run Faith's Reward (get it, it's a Modern joke).

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is in here to grind out extra value in the long game, along with Vesuva and Thespian's Stage. Terrain Generator helps to speed this up a bit too.

I might want to run a little more removal, including Chaos Warp, but I want to test a bit. I don't like Darksteel Forge in EDH. I can't win fast enough off of it, and it makes me public enemy #1. Overall it's not really worth the aggro it pulls.
