Very nice! I love smashing in with a 5/5 Darksteel Relic on turn 2 :)

Hi DreadKhan!

Than you for the ideas! I really like the ones you mentioned, seems great Vorthos targets for the Lich, a so much valuable object like the Crown it's perfect target haha Following the "empire" cycle you mentioned: Hand of Vecna, Eye of Vecna and The Book of Vile Darkness seem great and flavour objectives.

I like all the indestructible artifacts: Stuffy Doll, Creepy Doll, Darksteel Axe, Darksteel Citadel, Darksteel Forge, Darksteel Ingot, Darksteel Juggernaut, Darksteel Pendant, Darksteel Plate, Colossus of Akros, Darksteel Colossus, Darksteel Myr, Darksteel Relic, Kaldra Compleat, Shield of Kaldra, Necron Monolith, That Which Was Taken. I do not note the worse indestructible cards

The arficat lands as you say it would be great, at least I can be use the mono-black artifact lands (maybe there's only one).

If it was dimir or golgari I could use more liches but I can't, it's a pitty

Thank you for the ideas!

If you look up the Baldur's Gate release notes and find the entry for Kenku Artificer, it is mentioned that "The artifact retains any types, subtypes, or supertypes it has."

The "it's still a land"-part is only needed when the ability has to target a land, and adds a type to it (usually makes it a creature). Kenku Artificer's ability can target a Darksteel Relic, so any "it's still a land"-clause would confuse more than it helps in that case. Which is why they don't mention it on the card, I presume.

Nothing beats the do-nothing ability of Darksteel Relic. Here are some others:

Tower of Coireall

Pyramids

Cyclopean Snare

Darksteel Relic could be fun in here alongside the Mistvault Bridges. A copy or two of The Blackstaff of Waterdeep would be a slightly weaker but more reusable animator.

The Illusory Angels seem a little out of place. You have options for cheap, evasive creatures with the core of the deck, so maybe those spots can be used for Counterspells or removal.

For my own Zedruu deck, I found more so than giving away nasty bombs, I did better to draw into more answer and bigger threats by giving away garbage. Things that are neither a benefit to the person I give them to nor are they explicitly going to hurt them. They're just kind of there drawing me extra cards.

If you're interested, some cards that went this route include: Darksteel Relic, Sphere of the Suns, Transmogrifying Wand, Pentad Prism, Weapon Rack, Marit Lage's Slumber (at least if you're in a group with people not running snow lands), Absolute Grace. Also you could run a few other effects that give themselves away like Humble Defector, Perplexing Chimera, Shuriken, and Chromeshell Crab. Also another newer meaner card to give away to maybe consider is Fires of Invention since it will limit when and how many spells an opponent can play.

I'm curious as to why Darksteel Relic is in the deck? Is there some interaction here that I am missing?

Hah, Taniwha was a "lovely" gift, thanks for that one. I also feel that the Darkstell Potato does pretty well for crappy gifts, so nice work on it's inclusion ( Darksteel Relic ). It's always annoying to know that I am giving you cards and life for an rumpy darksteel turd I cannot simply destroy!
