I've had some fun playtesting this deck. I added Gingerbrute and two cards that help ensure we trigger modular more regularly: 1. Angelic Purge to wipe away anything, and 2. Nature's Claim for a bit of life gain for low investment.

I also toyed with Carapace Forger and Arcbound Stinger over the vanilla 2cmc white modular creature to balance the curve. Travel Preparations is a wonderful inclusion with flashback, too!

I see what your saying but I just got ride of Carapace Forger because first it isn't a artifact and second it wont get hit by Ancient Stirrings . I kept Myr Enforcer because it counts for the artifact count and i has the chance to be free where Carapace Forger will always be 2 mana. Seek the Wilds is a good card but i can hit so much more with Ancient Stirrings like my other artifacts.

Nice decklist. Only thing I would consider changing out is Myr Enforcer for 3 Carapace Forger if you're looking for more aggro. High chance that you would be able to play Forger on turn two and have it as a 4/4, and Enforcer would most likely come out turn 3 with reduced cost. If it's too much colour when digging with Ancient Stirrings , maybe try out Seek the Wilds . I like the versatility of Sojourner's Companion .

I do not think that Arcbound worker is necessary - swap the 4 Darksteel citadels for 4 Tree of Tales and add 4 Carapace Forger. If you feel the need for more artifacts, swap 1 battle rage for Ichor Wellspring.

Disciple is a cool idea, but Carapace Forger is just so strong. It's the better 4-of, IMO. Disciple doesn't do anything unless you trigger it, whereas Forger can win the game by itself if it has to

Wurmlover, welcome to pauper!

I run affinity and WUBRG, which is a tron variant. WUBRG is usually a good match for Affinity, seeing as its main focus is to cast Fangren Marauder and sac a ton of artifacts. The marauder also triggers for affinity's artifacts, which negates damage dealt by Atog. With WUBRG, I run 4 Chromatic Star, 4 Chromatic Sphere, and 4 Prophetic Prism, to name a few, which help me build up Mana for my 3 mainboarded Rolling Thunder. The marauders also provide nice blocking fodder against Myr Enforcer and Carapace Forger

landofMordor on First deck you Built

I built a terrible UG Metalcraft deck with Carapace Forger, Copper Carapace, Scrapdiver Serpent, and so forth...my first cards were built from a blind box with Magmaw as the only rare and 50 copies of Sky-Eel School. (After that, I built a UW Auras deck when Sphere of Safety came out.)

But I guess it did inspire a love of the Scars block for me, so I owe that humble little UG deck one.

BerylLasko Thanks for the tips. From what you said, I went ahead and updated the land base to 20 and added the additional Prophetic Prism and two Springleaf Drum. I also added the creature cards to the main you mentioned and the deck feels more dynamic now. I especially like Carapace Forger as a 2 drop.

I feel there's still a way to go to call this strong but I think the base here is reasonable to start.
