My original take on this deck was a little more cost conscious, but I've decided that I want to play this deck, so I invested in it. The price was a little high, but I've slowly assembled this deck over the course of couple months, which off-set the price of the cards.

A small land base normally cripples decks, but considering the large number of 0 cost creatures/artifacts in here, the deck runs very smoothly 98% of the time. For all the rest, a mulligan or two will give you an explosive starting hand.

The backbone of this deck is the Cranial Plating, when played right, it can make one creature incredibly huge, and in some cases, like with the Inkmoth Nexus, you can hit someone for 10+ infect damage in one shot. Without that Cranial Plating this deck wouldn't function nearly as well.

Currently, I really want to improve my sideboard selection, as I feel that is where I am weakest. I know that a sideboard is largely a meta based decision, but I'm looking to create a very well-rounded and powerful sideboard, so any suggestions regarding sideboard construction would be appreciated.

If you have any suggestions, please explain what you would put in and why you would put it in. Additionally, it would be immensely helpful if you would also tell me what you would remove for the card you think this deck needs. I look forward to the suggestion.

Finest regards my Fellow Planeswalkers!
