From the outside looking in you're probably thinking this deck makes very little sense - 1 of most things in the deck? This isn't tiny leaders? Or EDH? Da fuq.... But, if you're to look at the deck through that lens then you're missing something even bigger - control.
Basically, the way I've made this deck is so that you're using it like a toolbox. There's things available to shut down opponents and win you the game - you just have to find them.
I've made the search and tempo aspects very simply - 4x
Artificer's Assistant
, 3x
Whir of Invention
, 2x
Tezzeret the Seeker
and 1x
Artificer's Intuition
. You have the tools, now go find the stuff you need.
The deck gets its name from the use off wellsprings (i.e.
Mycosynth Wellspring
and
Ichor Wellspring
and
Servo Schematic
), which have abilities when they enter and leave. I stuffed the deck full of 4x
Shrapnel Blast
to remove big shit or punch opponents where it hurts, which is the complementary card to complete the wellspring package.
Taking a little further look at the deck we see 4x
Ensnaring Bridge
and 4x
Mox Opal
. These cards speak for themselves and do not count toward the singleton theme of the deck considering they're integral to the deck surviving in the first place.
So, now you must be wondering how this deck wins? Simple
-
burn damage from a combination of
Ghirapur AEther Grid
,
Galvanic Blast
,
Shrapnel Blast
and recursion of
Pyrite Spellbomb
from
Academy Ruins
.
-
Thopter Foundry
and
Sword of the Meek
combo, which let's us attack with 1/1 flyers while our
Ensnaring Bridge
keeps opponents from attacking us.
Lastly, looking at the singleton cards in the deck we have the following:
-
Pithing Needle
for shutting of pw's, creatures and fetch lands
-
Pyrite Spellbomb
for burn recursion and draw
-
Relic of Progenitus
- to keep graveyard decks in check
-
Torpor Orb
- for stopping kiki, pod, snap, HSA, etc
-
Sorcerous Spyglass
for removing cards with activated effects from your opponents
