Mono Green Karntrol (Modern MTG Deck)

This deck was inspired by the jankmaster Saffron Olive's creation Mono-Green Liquimetal Control with some additonal twists of my own. (https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-magic-65-32-tix-mono-green-liquimetal-control-modern-magic-online)

Señior Olive's deck idea is still unchanged: early game ramp, turn my opponents stuff into artifacts using Liquimetal Coating and blow them up with cards like Reclamation Sage.

2023 updates

Newcomers to the deck are Haywire Mite, Viridian Revel, Urza's Saga, and Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth.

Haywire Mite is the new hotness for this deck. Not qute as good as my other destroy artifact cards b/c it cannot kill creatures, it more than makes up for it by exiling rather than destorying, gaining me life upon death which is super helpful against aggro. Its inclusion has prompted me to rebuild the manabase to fully utilize it.

Urza's Saga is now in the deck as a finisher with the construct tokens and as a way to tutor out Haywire Mite for removal. To go along with this plan I have added Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth so that I can untap Urza's Saga with my Arbor Elf and squeeze out another construct token if I have the mana.

Viridian Revel has been a surprising powerhouse in early testing. With Treasure tokens, Mishra's Bauble, and other cheap artifacts sacrificing themselves all around the modern format it has become my new favorite pre-sideboard card to keep up with my opponent's card advantage and cantrip with all my artifact destruction.

Support cards

In the mana base we have 12 Forests to keep it simple. 3 Boseiju, Who Endures as some instant speed removal. 2 Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth for my Arbor Elf + Urza's Saga shenanigans. Also, 1 Turntimber Symbiosis to dig seven cards deep for another threat; and in 2024 we can't run a deck without some MDFC action.

In the Flex slots are Ancient Stirrings, and Viridian Revel. For consistency we have Ancient Stirrings to dig for my all important Liquimetal Coating and the deck all-star: Karn, the Great Creator.

The Karn Plan

Karn, the Great Creator is what brings the deck together. On my turn he can +1 to make my opponents lands into 0/0's with Liquimetal Coating. He cuts off all activated abilities on my opponents turns I target with Liquimetal Torque. He can grab important sideboard hate with his -2 or my spare Liquimetal Coating. If the game is going to go long and needs a finisher he grabs God-Pharaoh's Statue to drain my opponent out and make their stuff way too expensive.

In the sideboard we have a hodgepodge of random artifacts to tutor up with Karn. The sideboard has changed a lot recently thanks to BRO and is now mostly all artifact silver bullets. I refuse to take out my 2 copies of Splinter because it is too funny when it works against a combo deck to surprise Surgical Extraction them, or to punish a poor mono color deck when I remove all their basic lands.

Is this deck any good? IDK... I'm traditionally a casual Commander player who just plays pet cards and never optimizes his deck. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
