Ever get tired of knowing how you are going to win before the game starts? Ever look at a combo and think "that's not enough cards to be interesting"? Muzzio is your boy.

This deck crams artifacts on to the board until you have enough engine pieces to go off. Muzzio filters the deck quickly to find your engine pieces. We can win through infinite damage, control locks, or fatty beat down.

An aggressive suite of mana rocks can lead to explosive starts, but a low land count means mulligans are important. We're light on tutors to keep the deck surprising. Instead we'll rely on Muzzio to find us some shiny toys. Focus on playing cards from your hand until you have a 4 cmc artifact in place. This will ensure Muzzio's ability is likely to "hit". You really don't want to time walk yourself by wiffing on a Muzzio activation.

Artifacts work well with a Stax theme, but I have avoided many of these options for the sake of my play group. They have more fun when we all get to play with our toys. I have also generally avoided 2 card combos in favor of jank. Anybody can make infinite dudes with Kiki Jiki! Watch me do the same thing with about 6 cards...

You will have to find a different path to victory each game, but there are a few paths to keep an eye on. A few suggestions are included below:

-Spam Muzzio activations. Use illusionist bracers, Rings of brighthearth, and extra copies of both to rapidly generate card advantage.

-Cheat Blightseel on to the board. Rogue's passage will be your friend. It can be hard to clear the whole table, but he is excellent for a finishing blow or an early snipe. I have opened with Sol Ring and Lightning Greaves for a (risky) turn 3 kill. Keep a sac outlet handy to ensure your nuke isn't used against you.

-Nevinyrral's Disk, Darksteel Forge, and Mycosynth Lattice is a repeatable wipe for everyone else's board

-Recur Spine of Ish Sah. Infinite mana and a sac outlet will allow you to clear the table. Also works with paradox engine and a few mana rocks.

-Karn and Mycosynth Lattice will let you attack their mana base. Sometimes you have to fight dirty.

-Master Transmuter will let you loop things all day. Have fun with your ETBs!

-Karn, Silver Golem Beat Down. Sometimes you find yourself with a board full of artifacts and no win in sight. Get that junk-pile on the move!

-Infinite turns. Prototype Portal printing Ugin's Nexus into a sac outlet.

-Infinite Mana. Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth. Karn, Silver Golem + Voltaic Construct + any rock that taps for 3. Untap hyjinks with doubling sphere. There are more ways to do it, but these are the obvious combos. Once you have that infinite mana you can pour it into Memnarch, untaps for staff of nin, steel hellkite, or any other mana sink you can come up with.
