Shandalar Doom

I like the hammer idea for extra artifacts thank you and stoke the flames will be good spot removal!! I was originally going for red and blue but decided green would be more effective. also imagine a turn 4 doom engine or Shandalar. nasty stuff!!

you are making a lot of decks that I like

In red/blue you can cast engine on turn 3 with engineer, or on turn 4 with generator servant. meaning there are 2 ways you can attack with it on turn 4 which is sweet.
my U/R list is:

Hammer just does everything you want really, I have seen sooo many lists over look how great it is in these decks. The 3/3 body is very relevant with life's legacy also.

I feel Soul of Shandalar is one of the better souls as even if you cant attack with him he just brick walls was a 6/6 first strike that bolts their face/a creature each turn that you have nothing to do.

I was originally going for R/U but I like R/G better with the life's legacy and shandalar is def one of the better souls!

thank you abarbera

with engineer you still have to wait til turn 4 to attack as with my combo he has haste turn four.

With this deck, you can play Scuttling at turn 3 attacking. turn elvish mystic for 1 mana, turn/sacrifice generator servant for 2 mana and more 3 manas. It'll be a 6/6 attacking turn 3.

You can attack on turn 3 with the U/R lists also it just needs a lot of things to come together haha.
It is a lot more possible with this deck as playing green should be.

Twinflame.... check it out. Epic synergy with this set up.

that's amazing! that may replace the hammers.

Burning Anger needs to be in this deck... just look into it...

I do like it. Def see if I can make a space for it.

It will just be able to take out the annoying creatures really well and give that creature unblock able
You can replace two shrapnel blast or one lighting strike and one shrapnel blast seeing you only have 8 artifacts and dark steel citadel can't be destroyed.

cool deck you got

go see my new deck erebos's army comment and like on it :)

Bacon42 he can sac darksteel to shrapnel blast.

Dude i love it!

guys go see my new deck heliod's army #tokens

He has 10 artifacts plus 21 lands he could sac if he has a hammer in play.

also doom engine is the best one to sac for the 6 damage to the face

It is the best, but if you sit there and hold a blast as a dead card theres no point in playing the card.. I doubles as creature removal. After all it can kill most problematic creatures in standard

the point is to sac doom....

You have 8 cards to sac doom engine to, you arent always going to have a doom engine. sometimes you need to sac other artifacts to blast...
All I am saying is you don't just hold onto shrapnel blast until you have a doom engine.
Personally I would rather Sac it to Life's legacy draw 6 cards and Do 6 to their face.

thats why you have dark steel citadels and golems to sac for the shrapnel blasts, and the soul of shandalar and golems for the life's legacy in order to draw into scutling doom engine

Playing red and green you could also feed the Shrapnel Blast into a Hornets Nest putting out five 1/1 flying deathtouchers.

oh fail on me

I really liked your idea, so I played with it some more, here's what I came up with...
http://www.mtgvault.com/panik8/decks/kurkeshs-doom-engine/

I thought about the hedonist but don't think I need it with elvish mystic and caryatid. with the satyr it would still be a turn 3 or 4 play and I want the extra damage from lightning strike as the doom engine combo does 17 damage and the 3 would be the kill.

It's all normally done after combat also, so its 17/12 damage if they let it through or cant block it haha.

also with a turn 3 or 4 doom more than likely they'll have teeny creatures and doom cant be blocked with creatures with 2 or less power!!

hmmm I don't see how you could use it? Or rather I can't see the connection with shandalar?

sac him with life's legacy then you still have the burn from the grave. along with the burn capabilities while hes in play. not to mention a 6/6!

I feel you should have mystic over carytid as mystic allows you to have a better turn 2-3-4 where carytid allows a better turn 3-4-5, Also you have engineer as the 2 slot carytid fits in his list.

Haunted platemail would probably be better as a 5-6drop that is relevant to sac to life's legacy.
and with elvish mystic you won't need the 2x drums either i feel.

I'm actually thinking about scrapping the Chief Engineer, and having 4 Elvish Mystics and 3 Sylvan Caryatids or 4 Sylvan Caryatids and 3 Elvish Mystics. The Caryatids fit a bit more in this deck because of the access to the 3 colors I need for the deck.

I made some new changes to the deck that really has made it a lot faster. Thanks for the advice. http://www.mtgvault.com/alayjo95/decks/rug-artifacts/
Here's the new link in case you have any more advice.

fade exiles the gods that I need to and I was thinking plummet as well but thank you for reemphasizing that

I think he didn't put Stomping Grounds because of budget issues and/or because they are rotating out of Standard soon.

Ya budget is often a factor, it is hard to know if people don't say. Still as it is the deck would be prone to mana issues.

There isn't a single card that is rotating out upon the release of khans, so it may not be for budget purposes.

Khans? Like Star Trek, Wrath of Khan?
Weak Mtg, weak. Uber weak. Just like the introduction of planeswalkers and gods. lol

no the Khan they mean is the title given to Central Asian warlords long ago like Genghis Khan

It could have be worded Warlords of Tarkir

Stomping grounds are cycling but ill use them until the cycle otherwise

because it's supposed to be a standard deck

Lightning Bolt isn't standard? Man that bites.

Ugh to sideboards! lol. Don't get me started on that rant again. I don't play tourneys. Even if i am playing someone, with someone using the same deck over and over, I usually don't change my cards out. That is why people give me hell when I yell at them about not having any creature or artifact/enchantment hate in their main decks. They keep telling me, "that is what the sideboard is for!" lol

Joking aside.
Soul of Phyrexia?
Circle of Flame?

Not really good at Standard. Don't know the cards.

Good luck!

Phyrexian revoker?
Mistcutter hydra?(works good with generator servant"2extra counters")

revoker would be good. and mistcutter could be useful against mono blue!!

It's also good vs control as you almost always get one hit in due to has and can't be countered.

I like stoke for the 4 damage and hydras are good just OP. but thanks!

It would be, but if you were playing fling it would be better to play death's shadow combo rather than this.

Oh, yea, so true, but speaking for this deck specifically. :)

Why? he won't ever be a creature and he's only good with 8 creatures in the deck?

Xenagos, the Reveler is the planeswalker. He's playing with 20 creatures in the deck, 12 of them he can get out early. He's used to counter control decks verdicts and to ramp out you 6 drops as early as the 4th turn.

I'd also consider swapping one fade into antiquity for a 4th anger of the gods. I'd probably also rather have 2 Back to Nature instead of the 2 remaining Fade into Antiquity, since you aren't running any enchantments yourself. I also like Magma Jet better than Stoke the Flames in the main, because you can cast it more reliably and it fixes your draws.

I am going to say 5 cards.
But I suck with rules.

I am thinking this is right, I am going to try it at FNM and see :), thanks

It's based off of his current power, so it's 5 cards.

Thank you

He does not intend for Doom Engine to stay out.
He wants it to die.

When Doom Engine dies he does 6 damage to your opponent. So, he uses Shrapnel Blast to nuke his Doom Engine. Shrapnel Blast does 5 damage and Doom Engine does 6 damage to his opponent. So your opponent takes 11 damage! It combos well.

Or EVEN BETTER. Attack with Doom Engine, then as an Instant, cast Shrapnel Blast on your Doom Engine (after he was unblocked by your opponent) to do 17 damage to your opponent.

Using Life's Legacy on Doom Engine you do 6 damage to your opponent and draw 6 cards. Not too shabby.
Same deal with Shandalar and Life's Legacy. Draw cards and have option to exile Shandalar for more damage.

And of course, smartly, he is mana ramping into Doom Engines and Shandalars.
Also, running Life's Legacy with 12 mana ramping cards ensures him he will keep his hand full even though he will constantly be playing cards.

Ok that was unclear to me. Thank you for clearing up the confusion! Also sorry for me being stupid I just watched The Matrix and Inception and nothing makes sense anymore

I hear you with Inception :)

That would make the deck non-standard legal though

correct I don't usually play standard I'm always in a modern mindset
