I went to my local gamestore the other day and took part of a draft where i won thanks to a little combo with Trove of Temptation and Makeshift Munitions
Do anyone think that a deck with Trove of Temptation,Makeshift Munitions,Reckless Fireweaver,Treasure Map Flip,Revel in Riches and Marionette Master could work? includes both and which already are two great support colors of their own but do you have to add to make the deck viable for exampel Spell Swindle,Hostage Taker and The Scarab God just to name a few?
If this becomes a deck i will call it "Painfull Greed" ;)
upvote this is a fun idea because i had great success with some of these cards ahem munitions. getting a big board presence early then just blasting away. was thinking maybe one prying blade? pirates i know there are a few that drop treasure. taking someones baddie then just saccing it for fodder. yeah. id like to see cannon get some play, if only to capture/sac enemies biggest dickhead.

well my stategy on this deck was..Early Game: put down Gifted Aetherborn or Reckless Fireweaver and hose the creature strategy with Magma Spray and Abrade.
Middle Game: put down Makeshift Munitions and Trove of Temptation to gain Treasures and hold up answers like Bontu's Last Reckoning and Hour of Devastation.
Late Game: Drop Marionette Master and start sacrificing the treasures and servos to Makeshift Munitions maybe even Deal Direct Damage with Ribbons from Cut / Ribbons thanks to all the excces treasures we got.
i dont know maybe this is only a christmas land scenario but i feel intrigued about this of a deck an i wanna explore it.
Sorry if i sound protective Argy didnt mean to, I like the idea of Scrapheap Scrounger And Heart of Kiran ups the artifact count in the deck and triggers more Reckless Fireweaver.

Maybe 3 Trove of Temptation and 3 Makeshift MunitionsThey are nice in multiple but i dont wanna be stuck on 4 Troves in my opening hand :S
ill have a deck list soon but right i cant say exactly how many of which card but if you BEE_GEE have an example deck we could theorise a fun deck Together :)

There are a lot of decks out there that are trying to win by using a lot of the cards you mention.
The biggest problem for them is that doing 1 or 2 pieces of damage per turn is too slow in a Standard meta where people have already hit for seven damage on Turn 3.
That, combined with the fact that it takes time to get win cons established for things like Revel in Riches means that you need other plans to survive the early game.
I've been suggesting that people who go with these ideas should add Heart of Kiran and Scrapheap Scrounger to their decks.
This helps for a couple of reasons:
It ups the Artifact count
It answers early Heart of Kiran plays
It allows another win con
