You mean the deck with Ornithopter , Darksteel Citadel , Shrapnel Blast and Ensoul Artifact ? I think it won't have that much of an impact since you get two-for-oned quite easily. There is a huge setup to ensouling your stuff. I mean you play ornithopter and ensoul it, opponent Naturalize s it. It's a good two card synergy don't get me wrong but you have two cards fewer in hand that could actually do something. Darksteel Citadel might be a better target. I know it's the whole "dies to Doomblade "-argument, but since it concerns loosing to cards i think it's very viable.

A Darksteel Citadel would be very unlikely to be 2for1'd.

exept through Banishing Light , Detention Sphere or Devour Flesh . Also the Ensoul Artifact could be Naturalize d midcombat which would suck. I do also love the card, but it's very feeble.

Wouldn't Banishing Light and Detention Sphere miss it because of the nonland clause. An enchanted Darksteel Citadel would be an indestructible Artifact Creature Land, right?

true. sorry missed that. But they could hit the enchantment never the less.

If you can get a turn two Darksteel Citadel 5/5 you'll definitely have an early advantage though.

Tarmogoyf dies to doomblade. Dying to doomblade isn't a real argument.

Wait a second, kriskurse! I put that in quotation marks and was actually making a different argument. I was saying that you're likely to get two-for-oned! And the argument is not that bad since it spawned a whole archetype with boggles.

It doesn't do too well against mono-blue devotion since that deck is explosive and swarms with Master of Waves .
Reclamation Sage gets rid of Ensoul Artifact out of Jund's sideboard.
Supreme Verdict , Banishing Light , Detention Sphere get rid of the threat/enchantment.
Mono-black devotion can kill it with Hero's Downfall unless the Ensoul Artifact is on a Darksteel Citadel or Darksteel Ingot .
There's too little amount of significant artifacts and artifact support to make a top tier deck. I do want the pros to prove me wrong, but I see it having trouble with the current meta.
BBD brewed up a U/R artifact list that did not fare too well with Jund Monsters here.
