one could swap one Foundry Assembler for a fourth Sojourner's Companion for now i tried to keep 4 offs or 3 offs but i oftentimes find myself not being able to cast foundry assembler because i would have to tap creatures that could also attack and 3 power isnt really THAT great. But for now i didnt found any good replacement sadly.

Only Frogmite and Myr Enforcer would be legal in your colors. The next best thing to affinity is improvise.

Foundry Assembler

Sweatworks Brawler

Fen Hauler

are the possible options in your colors

Love the idea, very creative! +1

You might have missed the 'improvise' mechanic during your research, you might want to look into those as well.

There are 3 colorless cards with improvise: Barricade Breaker, Foundry Assembler and Inspiring Statuary

Um... Did you mean throw? Frogmite seems better than Foundry Assembler.

Having just playtested a bunch of hands with this - I think the weak link currently is Foundry Assembler . There's just too many times where he's tripping up us being able to drop down a Barricade Breaker , or slowing down a turn of otherwise decent artifact drops. It also feels like there's bunches of creatures in here already and his 3/3 body isn't providing much support. I feel like he'd be better as Street Wraith instead - to draw you into more useful cards and effectively give your deck better odds of getting the good stuff

I was thinking about how to do this but I'm glad someone else took the effort. Frogmite can easily become a 0-cost card, as can Foundry Assembler.

Hi hedgehog_henry,

Your deck is drawing almost exclusively from the standard card pool, but with the modern pool there are some cards which are direct upgrades. For example you have Workshop Assistant but Myr Retriever does the same thing and costs less to play. Another example would be Foundry Assembler, in a mono black deck with just swamps, why not play Dross Golem instead?

Your deck also seems to want to do two things, be Aetherborn tribal and be an artifact deck, that sort of schism tends to result in a less optimal deck. Which brings me to my next point, you aren't running 4x of any of your cards, not even an all star like Gifted Aetherborn, this means your deck will have little or no consistency over several games.

If you were wanting to go the black artifact route then; Vault Skirge, Phylactery Lich and possibly Scrapheap Scrounger, Glaze Fiend or Painsmith alongside Chief of the Foundry Ornithopter and Foundry Inspector this would give a reasonable artifact based aggro structure.

If on the other-hand you really want to do Aetherborn tribal then; Midnight Entourage, Adaptive Automaton, Weaponcraft Enthusiast and possibly Defiant Salvager and Flayer Husk alongside Aetherborn Marauder and Gifted Aetherborn, this is probably more mid-range than aggro, but it would be a start.

My last point is on removal, if a removal spell costs more than it isn't really viable. In mono-black on a budget use Victim of Night, Smother or Grasp of Darkness and if your not on a budget Fatal Push.

I hope that is of some help, have fun brewing your deck.
