IHATENAMES on All Your Base

First I would actually cut green for uw. Go a more controlly or taxy versions. Ethersworn Canonist Lodestone Golem a few like 3 main board counters 3 baby teferis 4 mystical dispute in sideboard. Slowly stealing your opp stuff seems better in this type of shell

I would highly suggest putting Chromatic Star and the other simular effect back in the deck.

Also other cards that might make this work

Swift Reconfiguration turns a creature into a artifact and janky removal.

Master Transmuter eot return an artifact put memnarch on the battlefield is a easier way to win in think but may take away from the focus of the deck.

Neurok Transmuter creature to artifact a bad one but it does things.

Edurne85 on New Permanents/Objects after Zone changes

1. The effect granting Undying ends at the end of turn (because that's what the spell says) or whenever the permanent changes zones (because that's what the rules say), whichever happens first. In deeper detail, CR 400.7 states "An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence. There are nine exceptions to this rule:", then lists those exceptions as subrules (400.7a through 400.7j), but none of those applies to this case.Yet, when the creature goes to the graveyard, state-based actions are checked and the game sees it had Undying, so the ability triggers and goes to the stack. By the time the trigger would resolve, the creature card in the graveyard no longer has Undying, but this doesn't prevent the ability from resolving (it was already on the stack). The ability does find the creature due to exception 400.7d, so it will come back and get the +1/+1 counter.Bonus: if, in addition to getting rid of the counter, you somehow grant Undying to the "new" creature, it could come back again. Also, if you have a creature with Undying (as part of the creature's text, so it doesn't "go away" that easily) and can get rid of its counters, it could come back over and over again.

2. Here comes a pedantic technicality, but understanding it may help with many rules questions: an "artifact" and an "artifact card" mean slightly different things (the same would apply to "creature" and "creature card", and also for other permanent and card types).When some effect refers to an "artifact", it referes to a permanent on the battlefield with the permanent type "Artifact"; when it says "artifact card" it means a card, in any zone, with the card type "Artifact". Most cards with the card type "Artifact" become permanents with the type "Artifact" when they enter the battlefield, but effects can add or remove types from permanents (Neurok Transmuter is a good example of adding a type to a permanent). So you may have a creature card, that became a creature (a type of permanent) upon entering the battlefield, and then was given another permanent type by some effect: this doesn't change the card type, unless the effect explicitly says so (there are some that do change card types of cards not in the battlefield, but those are worded very explicitly). Even if the creature were granted the artifact card type while on the battlefield by some object, once it gets bounced by Master Transmuter it changes zones, so as per 400.7 (mentioned earlier) that type-changing effect would lose track of it. By the time you get to the second part of the Master's effect, that card is definitely not an artifact card. Notice how the same ability uses just "artifact" to refer to the permanent type, but explicitly states "artifact card" to refer to the card type.

So, I'm pretty sure the answer to these is no but want to confirm.

1. I have a creature and cast Undying Evil targeting the creature. The creature comes back from graveyard with +1/+1 counter. If I had a way of removing the counter would the creature still have undying?

2. I use Neurok Transmuter to turn a creature into an artifact and then Master Transmuter to return that creature to my hand. Can I use the second part of the ability to put the creature back into play or does it cease to be an artifact once it goes to hand?

Hey there! In the future, this question probably belongs in one of the forums, but some cards you might be interested in are Ashnod's Transmogrant, Neurok Transmuter, Thran Forge, Transmogrifying Licid, and Liquimetal Coating.

Nice deck! Here are a few cards that let you take advantage of Memnarch's 4-mana ability: Liquimetal Coating, Neurok Transmuter, Argent Mutation, and Myr Landshaper for lands.

dimmer winner dinner is a deck i built specifically for weird combo of exiling creatures to play them, funny to run across this list right after. Lost Legacy? Harmless Offering fits nicely with an Abyssal Persecutor. Lich's Mirror + Demonic Pact or Immortal Coil ? Phage the Untouchable. Transcendence! Harmless Offering + Midnight Oil + Vampire Hexmage. Spinal Parasite. Spellbook or Stitcher's Graft? I've always wanted to see what kinds of builds are possible with Neurok Transmuter. Is Isochron Scepter too popular/not wild enough for this?

I don't think Whir of Invention fits into the mana curve of the deck very well. 3 blue mana in a red/green heavy deck is tough. I think Fabricate is much better.

Neurok Transmuter just acts as another Liquimetal Coating, I think two is fine.

Hellkite Tyrant acts as a creature able to basically steal any permanent that the opponent controls with Liquimetal Coating. I really like having 1 of him.

Whir of Invention to get Liquimetal Coating.

Hellkite Tyrant seems a little awkward in this deck as you're trying to destroy artifacts, not keep them.

Neurok Transmuter seems good, I would include more.

Vandalblast and Shattering Spree could be cool too.
