I dismantled this deck. It was too unstable and unreliable. Many of its components will be reused in my other decks.

Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer tries to play a lot of cheap artifacts and creatures to buy time to bring out big threats, then make them indestructible and clean house.

Probably needs some more board wipe tools. There aren't a lot of sizable blockers so big tramplers will crush me if I can't crush them first or wipe the board. I also don't have real exile effects, relying on Aladdin for my goofier way of dealing with problems.

Anyway, Goblin Welder is pretty important for being absurd, so he even has Goblin Matron there specifically to find him. He's the easiest way to get things out of hand, in any case. Anything that produces artifact tokens turns him into free artifacts in play, aside from liking anything that can two-for-one on leaving or entering play. (Slobad himself benefits from the leaving play or entering graveyard triggers also.)

Voltaic Key and Karn, Silver Golem also open up various goofy avenues.

Currently the deck is lacking speed and its big threats aren't big enough yet. It is relying on Steel Hellkite and Hellkite Igniter to carry us in the absence of some silly infinite Myr combo.

I'm experimenting with some different tools now. I seem to need to learn to shuffle better, there are cards I never even see sometimes. I had Sword of the Meek in there for awhile but never had it do much.

Removed:
- Haunted Plate Mail - too much mana for a result (shame I like it)
- Mark of Fury - in practice I it isn't as useful as a bigger effect in this deck, and nothing interacts with it
- Puffer Extract - too many artifacts consumed for a result
- Serum Tank - too much mana for a result
- Urza's Factory - too much mana for a result

Added:
- Bosh, Iron Golem - I need a big trampler, and he can Fling artifacts too!
- Illusionist's Bracers - Experimenting with the usefulness of this ...
- Moltensteel Dragon - I needed another big attacker, but he might be too bland
- Tsabo's Web - Cantrip artifact, and it trips up certain defenses
- Unwinding Clock - Experimenting with the usefulness of this (particularly without tools like Grim Monolith)

I really need to put in Spine of Ish Sah but can't decide what to take out to do it. Hopefully playing with these changes will direct me a bit more.
