@APPLE01DOJ:: Unfortunately, it's a bit too slow since the only creature I would put it on would be Metalworker , who taps for mana anyway.

This looks like fun. I've play-tested it a couple of times and it seems pretty consistent. What decks have you tested against? How does it fare against control like U/W Miracles?

Could a single Trading Post be a worthy addition? maybe in the SB...

@CalciferDK: I just switched to the 12-post build (before I was running Mishra's Factory and Darksteel Citadel ) and I can say this version with Cloudpost is a lot easier to mulligan with. I don't know that I'd play with Trading Post since Staff of Domination makes infinite....everything...once you have a Metalworker and three artifacts in hand. The decks I've played against:

Ahh didn't realize the infinite combo there.. I thought the tradingpost could be a real beating against the miracles (recurring/sacing wurmcoils and sundering titans). But i guess it is quite inefficient compared to the staff:)

@XTowelie: Emrakul, the Aeons Torn indeed costs too much mana. I have trouble casting Blightsteel Colossus from my hand. He's also not an artifact, so I can't dig him up with Kuldotha Forgemaster . Nor does he add mana with Metalworker . Lastly, any Lodestone Golem s are going to make him cost one more mana. These are the same reasons I don't play Karn Liberated .

I've thought about Expedition Map s before and you'll see 12-post decks with them, but this one is running Chalice of the Void . On turn one, I'm either playing Metalworker , Chalice of the Void for one, or Cloudpost into play tapped. Voltaic Key untaps Metalworker and Grim Monolith , so I'd be more inclined to pay that (it leads to stupid things like turn two Blightsteel Colossus ). Seeing as how I'm not playing Voltaic Key , I'm hesitant to include Expedition Map . It's even more problematic if I get hit by Wasteland , in which case, I may not be able to even activate it.

But anyway, this archetype is the reason Cloudpost is banned in Modern. Tron wishes it were this consistent lol.
