Deck has finally had a chance to be tested! —Aug. 22, 2019
Alrighty, so I got to use this deck finally!
It did pretty decent, though I would have been able to draw more cards with Thoughtcast if I would have not just drawn Mountains for lands. I did manage to get a Prismatic Lens on Turn 2 though which helped. Led to Saheeli being on the table by Turn 3 and started using her ability to turn servos into Prismatic Lens. Popped out a another rock and Noble Benefactor as a means to make them reluctant to send their tokens creatures after me.
Turn 4 was tutoring up and prepping for the big combo and keeping mana open for Swan Song . I had enough servo tokens out at this point, both opponents were reluctant to attack and had no answers to my artifacts.
Turn 5 I got the Dramatic Scepter combo out with enough mana rocks out and Burst of Speed in hand. 1000 servo tokens per opponent with haste ended the game. Given that neither player had seen the deck before, they peeled through it after to see just what else it could do.
Considering I was going against Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God with Deliver Unto Evil. The other was Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge with I forget what as the SS. It was never cast. Both appeared to be a type of Super Friends build given they each had a couple of Planeswalkers out by the end of Turn 5 and some mana rocks.
Play for the first game was interesting enough. I think I'll keep it together and bring it out from time to time, but I feel this deck isn't something that should be used frequently on a mostly casual group. if the group was more competitive, I could see using it more. But I think it might be a bit too much while players are still feeling out the game format.
Again, suggestions to improve the deck are always appreciated!
