Artifical

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Deck discussion for Artifical

Two things that will speed your killing up seriously.
1. Blighted Agent + Cranial Plating
Blighted Agent has infect and is unblockable, and Cranial Plating boosts it so very high that one hit is almost always fatal.
2. Mycosynth Lattice + Karn, Silver Golem = All your enemies lands are belong to Dead. Mycosynth lattice makes everything an artifact, and Karn turns artifacts into artifact creatures with power and toughness equal to their cost. Lands are free, so they become 0/0s, thus Die.

This is my Artifactory Prime. I average about a 4th turn kill if its treating me well, and i usually have no problem playing on just 3 lands. It has so many ways of racking up damage, and even more ways of Delivering them....Take a look and see what you think.

nice deck.

i'm honestly kicking myself a little bit right now. wish i had a good reason to give for not thinking of mana gen myrs...i like my 0 cmc guys for the affinity aspect, but i think switching a couple of them for a couple of the myrs would be more useful to me. thanks for the link.

2 Myr Galvanizers + Paladium Myr = Infinite Colorless Mana

Surestrike Trident is awesome, because it can turn a huge creature into direct damage.
Also: Mycosynth Lattice + Leonin Abunas + Darksteel Forge + Platinum Angel = Near Invulnerability. Granted its really expensive, but the only way to really lose at that point is a whole board sweeper like Damnation or Wrath Of God.

If Colored mana is ever a problem, i like using Springleaf Drum. You can tap it and a creature (even one with summoning sickness) for one mana of any color. It really speeds up early game sometimes.

Master of Etherium gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control....Which is pretty nice in a deck like yours.

Last but not Least, Quicksilver Amulet its the perfect answer to HUGE cost creatures like Blightsteel Colossus. It costs 4, and you can pay 4 to tap it and just drop a creature from your hand into play. In one of my Forge Decks i can pull out an Emrakul on turn 2 :)

I've been an artifact fanatic since i first started playing, and that was back in Kamigawa.

follow up to the suggestions. after the suggestions i revised my Artificial deck and had a chance to play it last night. even though i lost (friend was playing a really annoying blue deck and stealing/countering everything...) i felt way more comfortable with it. this guy works way better than before. thanks so much for the suggestions.

changes:
swapped a couple fatties for blighted agent
swapped in a couple mana gen myrs (came in way handy)
swapped in master of etherium
swapped in karn
swapped darksteel forge (not in the suggestions but the forge combined with karn nearly won the match!)
swapped in leonin abunas
couple others i can't recall right away

i basically used your suggestions to spread out the win strategy and possibilities to other mechanics than just relying on the fatties and it worked much better. thanks again!

No problem, Glad to help. I thought about Darksteel Forge, but i usually kill or die before that amount of Mana ever comes out. The whole idea behind decks like ours is to generate lots of damage potential, and as many ways to deliver it to the enemy as possible. Good Job, and i see you making it even better soon.

If you want to practice your deck against the an AI, i found a neat program. Its called Forge, and it takes a bit of getting used to, but eventually it becomes EXTREMELY helpful http://cardforge.org/releases/releases/forge/forge/1.3.0/forge-1.3.0.tar.bz2

Just unzip it with 7zip or WinRAR and run the program. The first time you run it your going to want to go to the content downloader and download the images of the cards. It takes a while, but youll have a picture of most every card in the game and can test out any deck you want :)

Oh and if you want to get revenge on your friend for his control deck, Check out my "Mea Mentis" deck. I call it Honey Badger....it almost never wins straight up, it makes people quit 90% of the time.
