This has been updated to better suit the Pioneer format.
Cards removed for that purpose are in the Maybeboard.
All notes on this deck are to do with its Standard form. I am not going to update them for this current, Pioneer form.
+1 Upvote is appreciated if you like this deck.
I see decks very differently than most people. I know what suits my play style, and my local meta.
I don't follow deck building "formulas".
Think before making a suggestion. If you are going to insist up front that it is the ONLY thing that can make this deck better, or make snide comments about my choice of cards/theme, or if you are going to be a jerk in general, then save us both the trouble and just go away.
Do some research before pointing out that my cards aren't Standard legal.
I usually know What's In Standard
-
If a better Izzet land is released than Highland Lake I will use it instead.
-
I might decide to use Abrade instead of Magma Spray, depending on how many recurring Creatures are used in the new meta.
-
I have also decided to foil one of each type of Artifact in the deck, because why wouldn't you?
I will be updating the deck as I collect them.
-
Dispel and Negate are primarily to be used to protect your Vehicles from Instants.
-
You may use them for other purposes, depending on the game state.
Early Game
-
Inventor's Apprentice is your best Turn 1 play. If you cast an Artifact next turn, it becomes a 2/3.
-
Speedway Fanatic is excellent to cast on Turn 2 to get some Haste damage in.
-
It is great to cast Scrapheap Scrounger if you have an Inventor's Apprentice on the field. I would prioritise this over Speedway Fanatic, depending on the board situation.
Don't forget that you can recur it.
Mid Game
-
You need to assess the game state to work out whether it is better to cast Foundry Inspector, so you can get Vehicles/Creatures out faster, or Chief of the Foundry, because you need to give Creatures a boost.
-
Aethersphere Harvester should be cast ASAP as it is a good early blocker, while also allowing for some life gain.
-
Calculate before attacking with Untethered Express. It should at least trade with a couple of key Creatures, if it is not able to survive an attack.
Late Game
-
If you play Skysovereign, Consul Flagship and are able to Haste Crew it, you can either deal 6 damage to Creatures, or 6 damage to one Planeswalker.
-
Wandering Fumarole can be used to provide a Crew member, if all your other ones have been killed. Keep in mind that you can turn it into a 4/1, to solo Crew Skysovereign, Consul Flagship.
WIN CONDITIONS
-
Overwhelming the Opponent with Creatures. Foundry Inspector can let you dump a whole lot on the field in one Turn. You can also recur Scrapheap Scrounger.
-
Buffing Creatures with Chief of the Foundry.
-
Trample damage from Untethered Express.
-
An unblockable Skysovereign, Consul Flagship, as it slowly picks off Opponent Creatures.
LAND
Lands produce slightly more than to facilitate early plays like Inventor's Apprentice and Speedway Fanatic.
Spire of Industry colour fixes a bit, but is primarily in the deck to pay for Scrapheap Scrounger's activation cost.
Aether Hub lets Aethersphere Harvester have another to use, and can also help to colour fix.
Wandering Fumarole gives an extra Crew member, in the late game.
Magma Spray stops Dread Wanderer and Scrapheap Scrounger from recurring for your Opponent.
Padeem, Consul of Innovation allows for card draw in a long game, and can also help to protect Creatures and Vehicles.
Welding Sparks is an excellent destruction spell. It is not uncommon for it to do 5 or more damage. At Instant speed. Ridiculous.
