Minion Reflector, Throne of Geth, Bitter Feud, Thornbite Staff and Molten Psyche doesn't seem to be that strong in your deck. You don't have many good targets for Minion Reflector, the effect of Throne of Geth seems to be too week for sacrificing an artifact, Bitter Feud isn't very useful as this isn't an aggro deck, Thornbite Staff is just too week and Molten Psyche is also not very strong and an aggro card. I can suggest you Karn Liberated, Blightsteel Colossus, Gamble, Wheel of Fortune and many other expensive cards you should know. Thopter Assembly, Lightning Greaves, Hammer of Purphoros, Hellkite Igniter, Staff of Nin, Mizzium Mortars, Squee, Goblin Nabob, Clock of Omens and Worn Powerstone could be good and cheap options for your deck.

Oh, I read Minion Reflector false, it's playable in your deck.

DrkNinja: First thing I ask everyone is: What is your budget? This is helpful to know so I know what cards to suggest for better improvement.

@abzanforever So let me explain some things, this deck is completely a sac engine, I'm a Johnny player and I like winning in silly ways. Thornbite Staff + Krenko, Mob Boss is infinite mana & tokens; plus it syncs well with anything that taps as I always am sacing things. Throne of Geth is infinite loyalty counters or pentavus counters or -1 counters or any of that through Dross Scorpion combo. Bitter Feud is literally there for me to go "oh hey I'm tossing my 20/20 colossus or pentavus at you with bosh... bye". Molten Psyche I like a lot because it's a Wheel of Fortune with "hey take some damage too" But I get that Wheel allows you to draw 7 guaranteed.

As for the rest while I like Karn, he's too expensive to not do anything for me combo wise... I refuse to run Blightsteel because infect is stupid and shouldn't exist. I don't like gamble, period; just not my flavor.

I like the staff, the hellkite, and clock of omens could just replace Dross Scorpion altogether... Also fued may come out but so far it has served me quite well with the Darksteel Forge

@Guerte I'm not like going for the 1k build or anything but I'll pay for a card if it's like <50 and is going to help.

So Anafenza, Queen of Off-color control hoses you? Or do you care about artifacts in yard and not creatures?

@Drakon562 Na, it's only creatures and that doesn't scare me... I can cheat the artifacts out and then get a bunch of mana to face roll with.
