This is a combo deck using the 4 card infinite mill combo (Heartless Summoning, Altar of the Brood, 2x Myr Retrievers) in conjunction with some of the newer artifact synergies. This deck plays like a aggro deck with a ton of draw and, if need be, you can stall behind your wall of self-assembling artifacts to win through the combo. The deck looks like it is lacking in removal but actually it has quite a bit; the removal is there because Tidehollow Strix can be easily found through the deck's draw power and can be bought back though Myr Retriever and Scrap Trawler. The things that you have to watch out for are spells that exile/graveyard removal and counterspells or mill on Heartless Summoning (since it can't be bought back). Currently I think the main deck is pretty strong but my sideboard sucks. Suggestions would be appreciated.
