"SERPENTINE!! SERPENTINE!!"

This is a Kaladesh release Standard pauper deck. The thing that got me inspired is when I found a surprising common in the Kaladesh set, which reminds me of Nemesis of Mortals . This time though, it's just Affinity where it costs (1) less for each artifact you control. The card in mention, Gearseeker Serpent , is our big drop which can close out the game with its built in unblockable mana ability. Even though the ability is a little bit expensive, we have the tools to move things along and keep our opponent busy. The goal is to make a board that fills up fast with artifacts for cheap, and then get our snakey friend an early greeting.

Investigate is the most common for artifact generation, like with Thraben Inspector but we also use Drownyard Explorers as midsize butts which hold the line and don't die to easy small removal. A good piece for even faster artifact building is Cogworker's Puzzleknot . Two artifacts for (2) mana is fine by me, which will help get Gearseeker Serpent out a lot sooner.

Inventor's Goggles would have been great if we had Artificer creatures, but sadly that is not the case right now. However, it's nice to have something that will keep your board alive, while it helps with accelerating out the snake-bomb by just hanging out at the same time.

We have combat tricks including Survive the Night and Jace's Scrutiny , which add more artifacts to the board as well for added artifact synergy while preserving our board, and exile spells like Angelic Purge become that much more easy to use with the clues generated. Select for Inspection is currently being tested in case I should switch in from Sideboard against aggro while scrying for the Gearseeker Serpent .
