Where is Chandra's Phoenix? I would go with maybe 10 Mountain and 3 Plains as with sphere and your only white spell at 4cc you should easily make the 2nd white mana by turn 4. Glad to see something original in the format good luck! +1

I am going to be doing some playtesting tonight, and even more at FNM. I didn't put Chandra's Phoenix mainly because I have Kuldotha Phoenix running in the deck. I find that I am usually to busy controlling the board and when I am not, Kuldotha Phoenix is just all around better to have in play.Then again depending on how I run my sideboard, I may switch over for Chandra's Phoenix so I can run Grafdigger's Cage. but then again it kinda depends on my bad matches.

I like it. I say some Grafdigger's Cage and Chandra's Phoenix sideboard would be nice for grave based matchups to shut them down. +1'd. Awesome idea, truly. Good luck with it!

I really like this deck idea. Kuldotha Phoenix is a card that I've felt has been mostly overlooked, and it fits really well here. Your sideboard should definitely include a couple Ratchet Bombs. They are great against token decks, and work for your Metalcraft.

So sadly the only guy I got to playtest with today played some stupid, janky Leonin Relic-Warder deck where he played Leonin Relic-Warder then while his first ability was on the stack would Saving Grasp it or similar to exile my stuff permanently... so it was just a terrible match period and I saw no way to beat it with my deck ever... especially when he got Liquimetal Coating on board =.= I added a potential sideboard that will probably need some revision.

Try boarding Torpor Orb?

OMG I forgot about that card... deals with... Titans, annoying , etc. that is an auto 3 of in my books ty for that.

Anytime. :) Also since Grafdigger's Cage ruins your only creature and Lux Cannon almost never goes off I would consider swapping them for Oblivion Ring and Nihil Spellbomb. For matches against undying you can trigger the spellbomb to remove their graveyard before the creature has a chance to come back.

So I removed 1 Day of Judgment for 1 Slagstorm mainboard. The Slagstorm, 2 Grafdigger's Cage, 2 Lux Cannon, 1 Gideon Jura, 1 Torpor Orb, and 1 Ratchet Bomb became 3 Oblivion Ring which gets pesky Planeswalkers and the such I had trouble reaching before, along with stuff that I simple simple don't want to hit the graveyard if I can avoid it, 3 Nihil Spellbomb for decks like B/U Zombies or B/U control that rely heavily on their graveyards, and 2 Combust for stupid decks that try to always counter my stuff... That's right, I am looking at you Delver decks t(<.<t)

*Phoenix

XD+1 though, I like it.

lol, yeah for the phoenix :), I remember OVER using that guy and now you just don't see metalcraft outside of tempered steel decks. I'm glad with the build here and honestly I can't add more than to emphasize the Grafdigger's Cage and Chandra's Phoenix on the sideboard. +1

The reason that I don't play Grafdigger's Cage + Chandra's Phoenix in the sideboard is simply because I know they will be running artifact hate post sideboard. When i did try running it, it was destroyed 4/5 times or they would Mental Misstep it (who plays that that >.>) that and it takes up a large portion of my sideboard that i would other wise have better cards for other matchups. However, thank-you for the input, I did try it and it just wasn't working for me is all.

nice! +1! check mine out deck:metal-obliterator

love the deck! +1 from me ! Check Out my decks killer89247

Have you thought about Faithless Looting in this deck? Maybe it can help you accelerate your game a bit, and you can always discard a phoenix to make him come back from the graveyard, although it can give you a bit of card disadvantage... =/

Aggro got you down? Batterskull.

Also I feel obliged to mention Arc Trail as another incredibly effective way to neuter aggro.
