This deck was inspired by the Unstable "Token Artifact Creature - Construct"

I immediately wanted to build a deck of clockworks, refineries, and constructs. The idea is magic with a scientific approach. Machines and automation. I also drew inspiration from the Creon race from Total Annihilation: Kingdoms -Iron Plague expansion pack.

How To Play:

One of my focuses was to ensure that I was never mana starved. I have several lands and artifacts that reflect this need.

In this current version of the deck, there are 3 main win strategies:

1.By the card Mechanized Production, which I typically attach to a vehicle. It protects it from creature-oriented attacks, but they can become creatures and deal damage in large numbers. If I don't feel like winning this way, I can use the token created each turn as fodder for Arcum Dagsson

2.By infinite mana/life/milling/damgage combo, using the cards Junk Diver, Myr Retriever, and Krark-Clan Ironworks as an infinite trigger, and using Leyline of Vitality, Underhanded Designs, and Altar of the Brood for effects.

3.The most evil one that makes people target you first if you ever play this deck again. Darksteel Forge, Mycosynth Lattice, then either Leonin Abunas or Padeem, Consul of Innovation. Now all of your permanents, including land, are indestructable and hexproof. The clincher is Nevinyrral's Disk. Now, every one of your turns is a board wipe, and you even have an extra one (just in case) using Voltaic Key. Now everyone is locked out of the game and you pick them off one by one. Or they all fold simultaneously.

I'd love to hear your opinion on this deck, and an upvote would be appreciated!
