WE GOT BIG-ASS CREATURES
Scuttling Doom Engine
,Ensoul Artifact AND WE GONNA BLOW THEM TO SHIT!
Let's get a breakdown of who does what here.
Star-Players
Chief Engineer
/Renowned Weaponsmith - Play those artifacts!
Ensoul Artifact - Turn 2 5/5 actually causes rage quits.
Monster swingers
Scuttling Doom Engine
- Pretty much the best big artifact, 6/6 with an extra 6 damage on death that's hard to block.
Ugin's Nexus - Playtests show this is great. It's scary, allows for big plays and can be used to draw counterspells out. I managed to get 3 turns in a row at an FNM with this card, that was fun.
Keranos, God of Storms - Good for card advantage and damage, rarely becomes a creature, but he's good enough as is.
Other stuff
Shrapnel Blast - this card combos with
Scuttling Doom Engine
really well, 6 combat, 5 spell and 6 ability is the best case scenario, worst case you'll always do 6 because of the sac effect. This is really strong.
Ghostfire Blade - cheap and easy to slap onto most of this deck's creatures.
Goblin Rabblemaster - Red aggro always likes goblins, not to mention easier convokes. Still in testing but has potential.
Dig Through Time - You can either play this, your graveyard isn't filled with dead things and you're winning, or it's turn 3. Easy card replacement.
Ensoul Fodder
Ornithopter - Used for convoke, sacing and ensoul. Not much use on its own
Darksteel Citadel - Indestructible 5/5 is good, but it cuts off 1 mana, it should be second priority
Other mainboard spells shouldn't need explaining.
Sideboard
Phyrexian Revoker - Counters decks that are built around one ability, it's very useful and gets side boarded in most games, but I can't justify it in a starting board.
Swan Song - Gotta do something about control, and a 2/2 flyer shouldn't be a problem
Stormbreath Dragon - White causes problems, especially in the form of siege rhinos, this helps solve problems.
Tormod's Crypt - Delve is a problem, here we can ensoul this, and clean up graveyards. Good value in the right matchups.
