Deck discussion for WU Boring Tinker

Obviously there are some ways to improve this deck, but the fact that I've never lost with it DESPITE its shortcomings, I think, speaks to how decent it is. Or at least, it speaks to how retarded of a card Tinker can be. Anyway, Moxes and Black Lotus would be the obvious additions, but I didn't feel like breaking the bank to build this deck. Progenitus is a little stupid here, because he can only really be played via Fold Into Aether, and I have yet to pull that off. The Tutor is also counterproductive, because the only artifact worth tutoring out is Blightsteel, and if you do that, you can't Tinker him out. Still, if you have Fold Into Aether and the Tutor in your hand, and enough mana to use them, it might be worth it. I've never done that, though; every Blightsteel I've played with this deck has come out via Tinker. If I wanted to make this deck as good as it could be (without the Moxes and Lotus), I'd probably cut Fold Into Aether, Progenitus, and all the white spells, and just replace them all with various counterspells.

Anyway, this deck has one very obvious strategy: Tinker Blightsteel out as quickly as possible, using either Memnite or your artifact lands as sacrifices. The counterspells serve to protect Blightsteel once you have him out, should your opponent have something capable of getting rid of him; and then, in case you fail to protect Blightsteel, you have three more you can Tinker out at your leisure. I've only had the Colossus successfully removed from the battlefield once thanks to his indestructibility and my cheap counterspells, but then, I wasn't playing very much and I only had a few people to play with in Iraq, so more serious play would probably strain this deck a little. And it probably wouldn't SEE serious play, due to the restricted cards.

Fold Into Aether is obviously there as an attempt to get Progenitus onto the field, but as I mentioned, it hasn't worked yet, so whenever I get my cards (including this deck) from Iraq I'll make the changes mentioned above and see how well it works then.
