With this deck I wanted to utilize the new revolt and improvise mechanics in my favorite Mardu colors and with my favorite creatures, angels, demons, and dragons.

The creatures in this deck are the basis for how it works. All the creatures play a major role in what the premise of the deck is. Thraben Inspector gives a blocking body as well as a clue that can be used for improvise by tapping it or revolt by paying to sacrifice it and draw a card. Reckless Fireweaver is taking advantage of all the artifacts that will be hitting the battlefield while also providing some much needed defense on the ground.Weaponcraft Enthusiast fits the bill of this deck perfectly. He can either be a substantial blocker, or he creates 2 1/1 servos that will be very useful for improvise. The top of the mana curve is where this deck can gain some serious strength. Angel of Invention creates 2 1/1 servos, gives a buff to all the creatures on board, and gives a flying body that gains life, perfect for this deck. Freejam Regent is another strong body that, through improvise, can be played for little mana. Combustible Gearhulk is just a monster card giving card draw or burn and a large body. Herald of Anguish is yet another improvise card that can be used to end the game through removal and causing discard for little mana.

As for the spells in this deck, it is mainly removal through Unlicensed Disintegration and Fatal Push. Fatal push can be used early game to get rid of threats that I can't block and unlicensed disentegration is removal to any creature without indestructible and with the amount of artifacts that are present on board it will almost always burn for 3 as well. Altar's Reap allows me to draw through the deck and find what I need inside while giving a revolt trigger by having to sacrifice a creature for the cards. As for the final spell, Sram's Expertise this card allows me to play a 3 mana spell for free while spawning some much needed servos to the battlefield.

The only artifact in the deck is a very strong suited one. Cogworker's Puzzleknot fits perfectly giving me a way to cause a revolt trigger and make artifacts to use for improvise.
