This deck's strategy is to defeat the opponent through control, removal and card advantage, using artifacts and improvise to maximize your mana output.

Early game:

On the first turns, this deck casts as many small artifacts as possible as they will serve as a later mana resource. This is primarily though Servo Schematic and Ornithopter. This allows it to be light on lands. Glint-Nest Crane fetches artifacts to keep your hand fuelled and there are plentyof artifacts it can tutor for.

Mid game:

Metallic Rebuke and Battle at the Bridge serve to keep the battlefield under control.

On top of that, sacrificing multiple Implement of Malice can suffocate your opponent's hand with the right timing. This is effect is compounded if you cast Herald of Anguish

Win conditions:

Ideally, you can cast Tezzeret's Touch in turn 3 which can turn artifacts into 5/5 beaters (special mention to 5/5 Ornithopters with flying and bonus points for style).

From turns 4 onward (turn 3 in a best case scenario) it should be possible to cast an early Gearseeker Serpent or Herald of Anguish as finishers. Tezzeret the Schemer is also a potential finisher if left unchecked.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!
