Sideboard


Maybeboard


Metalwork Colossus abuse, using Treasure Mage, Sanctum of Ugin, Thoughtcast & Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas to find as many Colossi as possible & Borderposts and Talismans to get them castable as early as turn 3.

Thopter Foundry & Sword of the Meek combo, as well as Tezzeret's minus abilities, can serve as alternative win conditions while also reducing the cost of a Colossus. Thanks to the Borderposts taking up slots that would otherwise be lands, as well as the deck potentially generating thopter tokens, Tezzeret's -4 is especially dangerous in this deck and can often hit for 18 or 20 life.

Fatal Push and Stubborn Denial fill out the minimal maindeck interaction, keeping us from losing before we can start slamming Colossi. Denial synergizes well with Colossus easily enabling Ferocious (in a pinch it's also turned on by Tezz's -1), and revolt for Push is easily turned on by our Borderposts.

In the sideboard we have Thoughtseize as an important card to fight against combo or control decks where Fatal Push is basically a dead card. Since the Borderposts require basic lands & most of our mana comes from artifacts Blood Moon has basically no impact on us at all and can completely shut down certain decks. Ghirapur AEther Grid is mostly an attempt to beat a resolved Stony Silence with the upside of dominating small creature decks, and the remaining slots are rounded out with generically effective interaction to cover our bases.
