Alright, ladies and Gentleman! It´s Artifact time, none of that Grixis or Esper Control, none of that RDW, we´re getting into the real ENDGAME now. I had this Deck in various Versions before War of the Spark, but it really shines since the Expansion. This is NOT a final version, I would love to hear your ideas!

Most important Cards

There are a few key cards that enable everything.

• Sai, Master Thopterist / Saheeli, Sublime Artificer

Both are great, they let you create more Tokens for Antiquities War and for Affinity, Sai is a great blocker because he is legendary and has Toughness 4. One of them is also part of the infinite combo, that´s our backup Plan to win the Game.

• Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge

Tezzeret passive is great, it allows us to play every other Planeswalker really cheap to flood the board. His +2 is part of the Combo and just wins you the game against Aggro of you ramp into him by turn 4.

• Karn, the Great Creator

He is not the most important card in the deck but needed to pull of the combo and if it isn´t possible get the cards out of the sideboard we need.

• The Antiquities War

Antiquities is our main game plan. If it doesn´t get removed and pulls a few more artifacts during Chapter 1 and 2 you almost always win the game.

Game Plan

• Antiquities War

Our Plan A is to drop Artifacts such as Barrier, Fountain and Compass during turns 1 and 2, play Sai or Saheeli on 3, ideally along with Mox Amber. Then drop War on 4, increase your number of Artifacts and attack on 6.

• Tezzeret infinite Combo

The backup plan involves 5 Artifacts, Karn, the Great Creator + Sai, Master Thopterist + Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge + Guardians of Koilos You use Karn to search for Koilos with your -2. Return Karn, search for second Koilos, use this one to return the first one and repeat that infinite number of times. Everytime you are doing this Sai or Saheeli create Tokens. Finish off with Tezzeret´s +2. Alternatively you can just +2 Tezzeret a bunch of times until you win the games that way.

Sideboard and last thoughts

I am not quite happy with the Sideboard, any feedback is appreciated. It basically contains a few answers to Aggro and Unmoored Ego, because you REALLY don´t want to get Cleansing Nova´d with all your Artifacts. Spyglass against Control and Damping Sphere against Simic Nexus and Izzet Drakes and such. The other cards are for Karn to get with his -2.

If anyone has new ideas, I am open to feedback.

Edit 1: Removed 2 Treasure Maps, too slow. Instead 2 more Barrier. 1 more War, I dont mind drawing 2. Changed the lands a bit. Changes to the Sideboard.
