So... a few thoughts. This needs focus.

I'd ask these questions. What powerful thing are you doing to win the game? How are you interacting. What is your plan b. And is there a better way or is your pivot worth looking into.

My suggestion look up mud decks in legacy for a base. Then adjust the top end to get closer to what you want. Most of your 1 ofs aren't worth it in legacy and it's going to be too slow. Other ideas that may drop the artifact only theme is like This affinity deck

What stands out to me as a potential powerful thing you can focusmore on is Mystic Forge for card advantage and Lodestone Golem for slowing down your opponent. Going all artifact based is a cool idea but to build it needs a better payoff.

Blinkmoth Well - Synergy with blinkmoth urn + politics

Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant - To recover after a wipe.

Mystic Forge - "Draw"

Although not on theme, given the lack of draw, perhaps a Kozilek, the Great Distortion?

Hi Profet93! Thanks for your reply. I think I want advice on overall deck balancing (mana curve, deck composition, removal/wrath/card advantage) and some combos. I know Mystic Forge and Sensei's Divining Top can be quite good

Mystic Forge + Top + artifact cost reducer = Draw your deck. Forge is great "draw" so to speak as well.

Ugin, the Ineffable - "Draw", removal and ramp

Buried Ruin/Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant - Recursion

Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter/Vedalken Orrery - Flash. Might be anti-synergstic with the haste commander but mitigates over-extending and allows your "trigger each turn" card to trigger more often. Plus, isn't it cool to be like the blue player?

Maybe Strionic Resonator - Double attack and ETB's, also note Lithoform Engine for flexibility

Mycosynth Lattice

I have the Necron Dynasties precon that's currently being upgraded, let me know what I should add next or remove to make it more appealing and competitive in the casual pod. This seems to be a really good commander deck full of sacrifices. Here's the list of the cards on the deck:

Illuminor Szeras Grim Haruspex Scrapyard Recombiner Gate to the Afterlife Sojourner's Companion Dross Scorpion Frogmite Smothering Abomination Meteor Golem Noxious Gearhulk Workshop Assistant Diabolic Tutor Scrap Trawler Marionette Master Foundry Inspector Gray Merchant of Asphodel Myr Retriever Disciple of the Vault Staff of Domination Psychomancer Triarch Praetorian Dread Return Cranial Plating Mask of Memory Sol Ring Barren Moor Myriad Landscape Arcane Signet Mind Stone Wayfarer's Bauble Desert of the Glorified Vault of Whispers Anrakyr the Traveller Chronomancer Cryptek Lokhust Heavy Destroyer Necron Deathmark Out of the Tombs Royal Warden Shard of the Nightbringer Shard of the Void Dragon Skorpekh Lord Technomancer Their Name is Death Their Number is Legion Trazyn the Infinite Canoptek Scarab Swarm Canoptek Spyder Canoptek Tomb Sentinel Cryptothrall Ghost Ark Sceptre of Eternal Glory Tomb Fortress Living Death Reliquary Tower Mutilate Caged Sun Mystic Forge Sculpting Steel 30 Swamp

Mystic Forge + artifact cost reducer + Sensei's Divining Top = Draw your entire deck

Chromatic Orrery/Everflowing Chalice (4 Counters) + Voltaic key + rings = {INFINITY}{C}

Blinkmoth Well + winter orb = You untap, others don't. Should you enjoy having some mild stax, Storage Matrix is a potential consideration which works as well.

Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant - Synergy with emrakrul. It's great to flash in after a vandablast

Karn, the Great Creator - One sided nullrod which can recur exiled artifacts and can animate opposing artifacts for you to destroy. Adding Myconsith lattice to it would be a hard lock.

Buried Ruin - Recursion

Profet93 Finally got my hands on a Mystic Forge, which took the place of Phyrexian Fleshgorger. I'm a little sad to lose one of my two Phyrexian Wurms haha, but the Forge is much more useful. I also ended up slotting in Heroic Intervention in exchange for Haunted Mire. The average CMC of this deck is low enough that I don't mind going to 33 lands. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Ghaileon +1 , void mirror + knowledge pool....that's one I haven't heard of. Note: You have your commander in your decklist, removing it allows you to get one more spot for one of the cards below....

Mystic Forge + Sensei's Divining Top + artifact cost reducer/Ugin, the Ineffable = Draw your whole deck

Basalt + forsaken = infinite {C}

Basalt + Rings = infinite {C} + top = Draw and cast your entire deck

Ancient Tomb - Ramp

Karn, the Great Creator + Lattice = Hard lock. Better than the void mirror + knowledge pool lock IMO as karn can act as artifact recursion (for the key pieces which will get exiled)

Everflowing Chalice (4 counters) + Voltaic Key + rings = infinite {C} + top = draw your whole deck

Chromatic Orrery + Voltaic Key + rings = infinite {C}

I had a couple questions regarding creature card choices like Cathodion, Chronomaton, Wall of Junk. Are these just cheap artifacts to increase your artifact count? Why not swap them out for something like Lightning Greaves which also add to your artifact count and protect your commander?

Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant - Recover from wipes. Also goes well with Emrakul, the Promised End should you wish to add an eldrazi as an alt wincon.

Looking forward to hearing your response, great deck. Makes me want to build one
