Deck discussion for Artifact Creatures

This is what will help this deck. 4 Seat of the Synod.

You need to splash another color to help out your cards: Draco, Solarion, Stratadon...or maybe take them out. Only running one mana color hurts them. I would take them out unless you are running maybe 3 different mana colors.

Broodstar is a much better creature in this deck vs. Draco. Myr Enforcer is also much better than Solarion. Finally, take out Stratdon.

Suggest.
Take out 4 Islands and 4 Draco and 2 Solarion.
Put in 4 Seat of the Synod. 4 Broodstar. 2 Thoughtcast or 2 Cloud Key. You will probably like Cloud Key over Thoughtcast (but Thoughtcast in this deck is very fast!).

Thanks for the tips, a friend and I are playing a creature only deck and thats why I decided to go this route. I like the idea of broodstar, but why would I need a different color? Thanks.

Draco. Solarion. That is why you need a different color. Both of those creatures are better if you use 2 colors instead of 1. Draco cost 4 mana less if you use two different colors of mana to play him. Solarion comes into play with 2 1/1 counters in play if you use two different colors of mana to play him.

However, if you use only one color to play Draco, he only cost 2 less mana to play (not 4 less). And if you only use one mana to play Solarion, he comes into play with only 1 1/1 counter.

So, adding 1 more (or 2 or more mana colors) mana color helps those cards out.

And would still go with 4 Seat of they Synod. It is an Island that counts as an Artifact. It helps your deck a lot!

Oh, so it needs to be different lands, not just multiple of the same land to activate their abilities?

Example. You play Draco using a swamp, forest, mountain, island, and plains. You use all 5 land colors to cast him. He now cost 10 less mana to cast. He started out costing 16 mana. When you used a swamp it made him 14 mana. When you used a forest he cost 12 mana to play. When you added the mountain he cost two 10 mana to play. When you used the island he became 8 mana to cast. And finally, when you used a plains he became 6 mana to cast. You used 5 mana already, just add 1 more mana and you just paid for him.

If you only use one mana color to cast him (Islands in your example) he cost 14 mana!

Same with Solarion. If you use 5 different mana colors when you cast him into play, he comes into play with 5/5 counters. Next turn tap him to make him a 10/10.

However, if you only use blue mana to cast him (even if it is 7 of them) he only comes into play with 1/1 counter. Tap him next turn to make him a 2/2 (much weaker than a 10/10).

To answer you question, yes, it needs to be different color lands.
