So this is a deck I have been developing and testing online for several months. I don't play magic with real cards or play in tournaments, just online play(but I play a lot). I would say that based on the number of wins I have had with this deck that it would probably be close to a tier 1 deck if played in tournaments. The deck is deceptively fast and quite deadly.
The use of Etherium Sculptor and Foundry Inspector greatly decrease the cost of our creatures and copy creature effects. This allows us to do things like play/copy 4 Lodestone Golem(s) in one turn, multiple [Master of Etherium], etc. This causes us to build up a powerful creature army very fast. Usually of fatal size by turn 4.
Disruption for the opponent is built right into the deck. The first part of this is Thorn of Amethyst. This really screws up many decks that are not almost all creatures. A trick with this deck is you can use Phrexian Metamorph to copy these and really jack up the prices on non-creature spells, many decks simply fall apart to this. Thorn of Amethyst meanwhile doesn't really impact our deck very much. The vast majority of our cards our creatures or lands. We do have sculpting steel, which increases in price, but that won't matter for we will reduce the cost more than we increase it. Phyrexian Revoker(s) add additional disruption.
This gets even worse for most opponents when you play a Lodestone Golem and make copies of him. This is truly devastating often making even artifact hate spells far out of reach for the opponent to cast.
Vs Affinity - I usually can beat affinity. The goal here is to race them to big creatures and also disrupt their strategy. Revokers are useful here targeting -
Springleaf Drum
, Cranial Plating, Mox Opal, Arcbound Ravager, Steel Overseer. Sideboard in 3 Hurkyl's Recall removing 3 Thorn of Amethyst. Be careful not to overprice Recall.
Death's Shadow - Death's shadow is probably 60/40 to beat us first game. After the first game I sideboard in Chalice of the Void and lock it for 1. The next match's are generally favorable.
Tron(whatever variety) - If you can get some early Phyrexian Revoker this is favorable. Targets - Expedition Map, Karn Liberated, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, Oblivion Stone
Infect - Can usually beat infect if I can get out an early Thorn of Amethyst.
Burn, Skred, Scapeshift, Storm. All fall before the taxes.
Decks with EBT Trigger Combos sideboard in Torpor Orb (This doesn't effect your copies).
Don't be afraid to copy opponent's creatures when advantageous things like thought-knot seer are great to copy.
I would be curious what people's thoughts are on this deck. I'd especially like to hear about anyone's experience's playing it.
Toughest matchups are probably big green ramp with Craterhoof Behemoth, etc. Still beatable, but tough. Dredge can also be tough, but for that we side in Grafdigger's Cage
