Well this is certainly a beginner deck, ha ha. I don't mean that as an insult, we all start somewhere. But like most beginner decks, it's really just "a pile of cards". It would be hard to make suggestions without pretty much completely remaking the deck. Instead I'll offer some general advice:

  1. Stick to 60 cards. About 24 of those cards should be lands, though that can vary depending on the deck.

  2. We use "U" to represent Blue, since "B" is already used for Black. (So this is U/W deck)

  3. Cards like Ashes of the Abhorrent, which attack a very specific strategy, are called "hate" and generally would go into your sideboard instead of your main deck since they won't do anything to hurt most of your opponents. In fact, in this case it's a card that hurts YOUR deck since it shuts off Metalwork Colossus's graveyard ability.

  4. Your deck should be more focused. You do have one pretty specific plan: use Metalwork Colossus. Unfortunately only a small part of the deck is based around that plan, while the rest is trying to do different things. You have Slither Blade and One With The Wind, cards that are best in the early game. Then you have cards like Fleet Swallower and the counterspells, which are better in a long game. When your deck tries to do "everything" it ends up doing "nothing".

  5. I would suggest to focus more on Metalwork Colossus. You have a good start with Cultivator's Caravan and Prophetic Prism - those are both great cards in a Metalwork Deck. Vehicles in general are nice since they "are" creatures when you need them to be, and "aren't" creatures when you want to make Metalwork Colossus cheaper to cast.

Blue White is U/W not B/W

Thanks for the awesome feedback AUAIOMRN. I knew that this deck was/is pretty crappy, so no offence taken. I had no idea that blue is represented by a U. I removed a couple of cards and added some artifact creatures to help summon Metalwork Colossus faster.

If there are anything else I could improve, please let me now.

As AUAIOMRN, the One With the Wind and Slither Blade are decent early game cards, but when going for Metalwork Colossus you will be going into the late game most of the time.

There are a couple of things that i would suggest, however i do not know how "simple" they would be to use for a beginner so if you feel like testing them out but dont fully understand it feel free to ask.

  • First thing i would suggest is possibly going with Aetherflux Reservoir and Paradoxical Outcome. These cards together with all of your artifacts you have can do amazing and you would be surprised how easily you can get up to that 50 life. This can then be used as an alternate win condition.

  • Next suggestion could be to use Farm / Market over the Divine Verdict for a cheaper removal and more card draw late game

  • another would be to use the Puzzleknots. Since you are using Prophetic Prism and the Cultivator's Caravan, you can have access to any color of mana. with this, you can use the Metalspinner's Puzzleknot for extra card draw. you can also do the same thing with the Implements. Implement of Improvement is a cheap card that give you some life gain and also card draw while Implement of Examination costs a little bit more but also give more card draw instead of life.

i hope these suggestions are at the least a little helpful
