So, here's the deck I'm thinking of building for the current Standard:
How does it look, what should go out, what am I missing? And is the archetype even playable at all without Theros/M15 cards such as Shrapnel Blast?
Izu_Korasu says... #2
nope, post rotation the deck is only filled with supporting cards, the main threats of the deck are gone, Shrapnel Blast and Ensoul Artifact were the reasons to play the deck (and usually won the games) especially aided by Stoke the Flames and Darksteel Citadel and the synergy of Springleaf Drum/Whirler Rogue/Ghostfire Blade
Thopter Spy Network saw alot of play in sideboards against slower decks, but aggro usually dominates the post rotation landscape and without Darksteel Citadel you lose a reliable way to trigger thopter creation
your better off embracing "colorless" over artifacts .. Herald of Kozilek still fits well with Hangarback Walker but also makes devoid spells cheaper like Processor Assault,Crumble to Dust, Tide Drifter, Brutal Expulsion and the like (also ghostfire blade fits here rather well)
