---

I just wanna play draw-go but with big robots and weird machines instead of counterspells.

This is meant to be a very budget build, but I feel like the idea supports a lot of growth and development

Main Strategy

Ramp hard, play Raff, then pass your turn and make all of your necessary plays at the most advantageous time. All of the cards in this deck can be played any time you could play an instant if Raff is out, so do that early. Repeat until you draw into some beaters.

Also, maybe throwing enough artifacts together will make an infinite somehow, who knows.

Card Rundown

Rocks/Dorks Show

Fractured Powerstone , Guardian Idol , Marble Diamond , Mind Stone , and Star Compass are all in because as 2 CMC mana rocks they're great for early ramp. Mind Stone apparently can also be sac'd when we have "enough mana", whatever that means. Gold Myr and Silver Myr are also basically 2 CMC rocks, but they can also chump if need be. I just wanted more 2 CMC stuff.

Wayfarer's Bauble is just a cheap and easy way to actually grab another land instead of artifacts, which are much more often destroyed.

Seer's Lantern lacks the raw efficiency of the 2 CMC rocks but makes up for it by fixing draws so we draw fun cards more consistently. Likewise, Cultivator's Caravan plays double duty as a beater, and Azorius Locket actually nets card advantage if you're running low on things to spend all that mana on.

Etherium Sculptor and Jhoira's Familiar aren't technically mana dorks, but they reduce the cost of the spells we cast so they're basically mana dorks that you can use multiple times a turn.

Palladium Myr makes 2 mana every turn after a 3 mana investment, which is pretty good and just about the same as Worn Powerstone , except Worn Powerstone doesn't have a body, which is good and bad.

Draw/Other Card Advantage Show

Azami, Lady of Scrolls is a 5 mana creature that draws a card every turn, including the turn it comes in, and can draw another card for every wizard we have. We have one other wizard. It's Raff.

Issues

I don't think there's enough draw or creatures, but I'm not sure what to cut. Obviously I also welcome other constructive criticisms and suggestions.
