Small Artifacts (Pre Sword Unban)

Modern Artifact Competitive Control WUB (Esper)

Sideboard


This is a brew I've been working on for a while now. The "Trinket" category includes cards searchable with Trinket Mage. Including Darksteel Citadel , there are 13 unique searchable trinkets. Some trinkets are removal (Engineered Explosives), some are utility (Nihil Spellbomb), some ramp (Mox Opal), and even a Sunbeam Spellbomb against decks threatening to burn me out.

Looks like a pile, and it kind of is, but Trinket Mage and Artificer's Intuition hold it together. Early game control, late game spit out thopters.

Nothing from BFZ, no surprises there.

Bumped up to two Hangarback Walkers in the main, and considering adding more. Grafdigger's Cage remains good in my local meta, stopping reanimator, flashback, and CoCo/Chord decks. In metas where those strategies are less prevalent you could probably cut it for another Engineered Explosives or Hangarback Walker.

I need advice on the sideboard - is Spellskite worth it? Twin generally sides out their combo against me, and bogles run Stony Silence. Normally I'm not too worried about redirecting a removal spell to it. Cutting Skite lets me go up to 4 Wear / Tear and add another card, maybe another Swan Song. Open to suggestions here.
