Cards I would remove: Mana Web, Mindlock Orb, Worn Powerstone, Lodestone Golem, Aura of Silence and No Mercy.

I suggest you look at this deck: I Protect the World, the World Protects My So copy. It is a mono-white artifact lock deck with two infinite combos as the win condition. It is practically complete, as nothing else really can go in it. It is a copy of my first attempt with Nahiri, the Lithomancer.

Femme_Fatale thanks for the input. I gotta ask why you feel I should remove so many things? Is there something else you think I should have in, instead?

I took a look at your deck, and it looks very solid, although I am not a fan of Infinite Combos in this deck and have opted to exclude them.

You have far too many non-artifacts to make Lodestone Golem worth while, and in general, things that increase mana don't do very well (Thorn of Amethyst and Sphere of Resistance should thus go to). Grand Abolisher, Hive Mind and Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir would work much better. Also, Mana Web doesn't work in tangent with orb effects as they are just going to be tapping all the lands anyways. In playtests that I've found, anything that can hinder your mana base with the orb effects is a no-go, and you definitely need something to untap your stuff. Sword of Feast and Famine, Unwinding Clock and Clock of Omens are all good choices considering you aren't running green.

Smokestack requires being able to have some sort of reanimation or token producer. I see a total of 4, with 1 of them being conditional and the other 2 really slowing your advance down. You'd need at least 7 to make it work effectively, and as since you have wraths, they aren't really necessary. Cards that work better are The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale and Magus of the Tabernacle.

You need stuff to protect your stuff. Avacyn, Angel of Hope is nice, but I suggest more. Leonin Arbiter, Fountain Watch, Cloud Cover, Darksteel Forge and Mycosynth Lattice are all powerful in this regard. Finally, you need to protect yourself from infinite combos. True Believer, Aegis of the Gods, Leyline of Sanctity and Solitary Confinement all come to mind.

As for other locks, Portcullis, Silent Arbiter, Moat, Magus of the Moat, Island Sanctuary, the other lock angels, Rising Waters, Peacekeeper, Overburden and Crawlspace work much better than things like Kismet and Blind Obedience. No Mercy is bad because you don't want them hitting you in the first place. Mindlock Orb also hurts you as you have a fair portion of tutors. Aven Mindcensor would do better in this regard.

Wondering where Plea for Guidance, Scroll Rack, Weathered Wayfarer, Twilight Shepherd and Consecrated Sphinx are. These are powerful utility cards that I enjoy using.

I completely forgot about Twilight Shepherd good call on that one. If you do decide to run Hive Mind adding Pact of Negation can easily deal with players that are not using blue. Also Master Transmuter might be useful in this deck. It allows you to either blink an artifact or cheat out an artifact you know will get countered or has a high mana cost

I have never played a deck like this, and only rarely come across it (Senn Triplets are kind of big in my meta, but not huge).

With all the lifegain you have, have you considered Felidar Sovereign?

Hi SquishyPanda, yes, at a couple points I have had both Felidar Sovereign and Test of Endurance in the deck, but have opted to go without because I didn't want to take the "cheap" way out. My aim is to win.. Soundly, Fairly, and Painfully.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has commented and upvoted this deck. It's almost at 10000 views, and hit #16 today in the rankings, which is pretty awesome! Without all of the ideas (used or unused) and feedback, I don't think that this would be where it is today. Please keep it coming! Your help is appreciated ;)

You are more likely to go up in rankings with comments then you are with upvotes.

You really should clear the comments. Looks good! +1

Femme_Fatale Good to know, because I didn't know that.

quesobueno123 I've thought about it but also like the idea of being able to reference back to be able to see what's been suggested and to look back at the development of the list over time.

Is there a way to archive old comments before paring down the older comments?

Yes they are saved in the update you just click comments and it shows them.

quesobueno123 I've removed a bunch manually, but am not sure I understand what you mean. If you don't mind elaborating, I'd appreciate it. And thanks for the +1

You don't need to remove them manually. The updates clear them all for you! Just add an update.

i'll look when i have more time, profiled for now.

You create an update, then click clear comments with update, and then all the comments are removed from the deck and stored in the update.

Cleared the comments.

Please feel free to suggest cards and ideas. I'm currently at a point where I'm pretty happy with this list, but there is still room for improvement.

I still feel like adding a few counterspells would make sense, as ever though, I can't figure out what to cut as everything feels important to me.

I just picked up a copy of In the Eye of Chaos to add in. I'm thinking of pulling Defense Grid to make space, and possibly swap in Seal of Cleansing instead of Return to Dust to lessen the impact that In the Eye of Chaos will have on my own instants, and to increase synergy with Hanna, Ship's Navigator and Serra's Sanctum.

Anyone have any thoughts?

In the Eye of Chaos is certainly interesting. Though it will drive a lot of hate towards you. I'm uncertain of just how effective it is vs Defense Grid however. Defense Grid costs 1 less, and is colourless. Meaning it is very easy to get a turn one play off of it. Which is very important against control decks. Don't forget about Grand Abolisher.

Femme_Fatale I'm not worried about hate... The deck already gets it in droves.. I suppose the trouble for me is that I haven't actually played Defense Grid in actual play yet so I don't really know how effective it is. Perhaps instead of cutting Defense Grid, I could cut Frozen AEther instead, as I do still have Kismet and Blind Obedience in play.

I'm not forgetting about Grand Abolisher, but I am kind of ignoring anything that comes on a body that isn't essential, just because this deck really likes to hate out critters... I know from past experiences that Grand Abolisher can be amazing, but i'm just not sure I really need him in here.

Do you think it's worth cutting Return to Dust for Seal of Cleansing? The re-usability of Seal through Hanna is tempting, but the utility, surprise, and exiling effect of RtD is also really relevant.

Definitely remove the tap enchantments whenever possible. I would remove Kismet over Frozen AEther, because that gives you malleability if your mana base has a freak chance of not working out.

As for enchantment and artifact hate just keep Return to Dust. If you want to use the Hanna, Ship's Navigator and Seal of Cleansing synergy, you already have Aura of Silence for that.

lol if someone managed to get a Blood Moon out

Yeah, Blood Moon is always dangerous, but I hope to have an answer, plus in multiplayer I'm sure I wouldn't be the only person at the table wanting that dead.
