Deck Description

I knew that giant flying scissors would inspire me!

BEST CARDS:
Ensoul Artifact: because Ornithopter, Signal Pest, Memnite and most importantly Darksteel Citadel. . .
Etherium Sculptor: everything is for free! he makes things that already cost nothing cost even less.
Thoughtcast: your hand will be empty on turn 3 or 4, you need this card!

How to Play

Aggro! straight and unstoppable aggro. You try to get 2 to 3 creatures out on turn one, turn 2 you cast Ensoul Artifact or Etherium Sculptor and a free Frogmite. Turn 3 will be the BIG turn with Qumulox, Rusted Relic and Myr Enforcer. Against control or midrange you just do an all in, use Ensoul Artifact ONLY if you can attack with the enchanted artifact the turn you cast it. Against aggro you can leave a 5/5 citadel or something else to block while going to the face with everything everytime. Really the only decision will be tap the 5/5 or 4/4 or don't tap it. . .

My budget decks are supposed to let you have fun! Which is what i think MtG should be about, i try to make these decks as competitive as possible while still leting you to have a blast while playing them. If you can make your friends to spend around 50$ you could buy 2-4(some of my decks are under 10$) of my decks and make the experience even richer! Also don't just copy the whole deck(you can, but if you can improve something DO IT!), if you have a better idea pls let me know, i can't always make the perfect deck and sideboard. Again GL and HF!

Deck discussion for Budget Affinity

I wouldn't really mark this as an affinity deck but more of just an artifact deck. If you were actually going for affinity you would be spending a lot more and should be able to win turn 4. This is more of an artifact beat down. There are also some really nice and cheap affinity cards like Broodstar and Seat of the Synod that would go well in this deck.

Yeah this is one of my earlier decks and therefore it's a lot worse, I had the wrong idea of budget and only minnimal experience.

That's waaaaaaaaaay better.
Seat of the Synod would make it not legal in modern and that would NOT work. And Broodstar is just shit in affinity.

I was saying for this deck. I know that it wouldn't work for a legit affinity deck but in other decks you can get atleast a 8/8 with flying for 2 blue.
