Rzepkanut on Enchantress-esque cards for artifacts

5 years ago

Soulblade Djinn, Monastery Mentor, Strongarm Monk, Skywise Teachings, Zephyr Scribe, Quiet Contemplation, Goblinslide, Firebrand Archer, Golem's Heart, Gonti's Aether Heart, Leering Emblem, Myrsmith, Riddlesmith, Golem Foundry, Artificer's Assistant, Efficient Construction, Embersmith, Reckless Fireweaver

I tossed some off-color cards in there just because they were so on topic . Happy gathering :)

Darth_Savage on Reach out and Deathtouch

Hi Cajared and welcome,

As your relatively new to Magic, I'm going to start off by giving you some keywords that are relevant to artifact strategies, those are: Affinity, Metalcraft, Living Weapon, Improvise use the search here or on Gather to have a look at the cards. Another suggestion I'm going to make is that you splash for either Red or Black, not all cards that care about artifacts have those keywords, for example Goblin Gaveleer, Glaze Fiend or Glint Hawk but again you should be able to either use the search or look at other artifact/equipment based decks.

Another reason for me suggesting Red and Black is your plan to ping with deathtouch. Lots of Black creatures (Pharika's Chosen, Typhoid Rats) have deathtouch, lots of red creatures (Cunning Sparkmage, Grim Lavamancer, Embersmith) tap for damage or can easily cause damage.

Lastly I actually mess around with an equipment deck Cheap & Cherio built around Puresteel Paladin and Sram, Senior Edificer, while you may not want to go as all in on combo as that deck, it could give you some ideas.
