That's what appears to be happening but on the back end I have my accordion panel open, spoilers inside, then the endpanel. For some reason the panel is closing before the endpanel command.

For instance, where the panel first has an uncoded break is written exactly like this (copy and pasted):

Mono Green Karn Show

On the Play: In 1x Stubborn Denial 3x Portable Hole 2x Glass Casket 3x Hushbringer

Out 1x Springleaf Drum 2x Eater of Virtue 2x The Blackstaff of Waterdeep 1x Patchwork Automaton 2x Shadowspear 1x Bomat Courier

On the Draw: In 1x Stubborn Denial 3x Portable Hole 3x Hushbringer 3x Boros Charm

Out 3x Springleaf Drum 2x Eater of Virtue 2x The Blackstaff of Waterdeep 1x Patchwork Automaton 1x Ornithopter 1x Bomat Courier

Reasoning: In this match up we need to stop their Karn from hitting the field as that stops our artifacts from activating and is just a lot harder match up because they can search for things like Ratchet Bomb with a Karn. By countering the walkers and having a Hushbringer we stop their creatures from gaining them value and hopefully slow them down enough to win. After dealing with the previous mentions the deck becomes a Mono Green build so we still need to get by large blockers and swing backs and lifelink and trample can help us accomplish this. Eater of Virtue was removed as they don't pack much in the form of removal. On the play we will want access to as much removal as we can to slow them down. On the play we can use a 2 mana removal spell on their dork to slow them down and keep pressure on. On the draw we don't have the option to do this and so we opt for more removal in the form of Boros Charm where we can kill a walker with it if it comes down or finish the game with double strike or direct damage. Both on the play and draw The Blackstaff of Waterdeep is a bit slow and I would prefer having some Ornithopter as they can only block it with 1 playset of creatures they run. We also cut 1x Bomat Courier as it quickly gets supercedded by larger creatures and later can't activate if they have a Karn out. We don't cut them all as we can get 1 out and crack it before a Karn can hit.

The panel is closing right after the On the Play paragraph in this spoiler for some reason, but my endpanel is all the way at the end of the Specific Sideboard Guide.

I thought it may have been spaces or the omission of spaces but that appears to not be the case. It used to work previously and broke one day without my meddling with it.

Awesome to see this, very cool!

Considering all these artifact creatures, Tempered Steel is obviously powerful, as is Urza, Prince of Kroog. Clock of Omens and other ways to untap your creatures would be pretty cool. Also, maybe Lita, Mechanical Engineer? She even kind of references Battle Angel Alita, so somewhat on flavour? One more, Padeem, Consul of Innovation and Bronze Guardian for more protection.

Finally, Patchwork Automaton looks like something from a transformers cartoon.

If you are trying to make this more competitive then there is a bit I would cut from your deck. Here are some of my thoughts about some of the cards you are running that may need to more consideration to how your deck is crafted. You can see suggested cards towards the bottom.

Automated Artificer - Not that impactful of a card for your deck as most your artifacts that it could help you ramp are already cheap to cast, it doesn't have a good place here.

Jaxis, the Troublemaker - I'm honestly not sure what you are trying to copy here for value. Card feels like you want to get a Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  ^Flip.

Kami of Terrible Secrets - The size of the body for cost situational card draw would make this a cut. Better cards to be running that can give you better value.

Karn, Living Legacy - While your welcome to run the card, this is more a meme then a serious play card I would imagine. It doesn't do anything impactful to the board and the mana rocks it generates are that useful to your build. Trying to go the keep +1 to get to ult seems like a hard reason to want to keep.

Jodah's Codex - This is expensive card draw to be playing and would not trying running this card unless you are trying a domain build where the draw becomes free.

Dragonspark Reactor - is a cool card, but I don't think you are using enough cards that are artifacts to warrant this in deck unless you make changes.

Ghoulish Procession - seems interesting, but you may want to trim this to make room for more artifact based cards to get better synergies.

Patchwork Automaton - If you wish to run this, then I would suggest adjusting your deck to run at least 20 artifacts that you can cast for the trigger.

Cards you may be interested in using are that are seem as "staples" to the rakdos artifact deck are: Experimental Synthesizer, Bloodtithe Harvester, & Voltage Surge. These offer you card advantages that work well with the anvil and also have some flexibility in their use.

From the new set I would say check out Garna, Bloodfist of Keld. This lets you get some extra burn to your opponent if you creatures die outside of combat, but you get extra card draw bonus for each creature that dies in combat. Please note that you could sacrifice your artifact creatures to Oni-Cult Anvil after damage step if they survive before leaving combat if you need that draw.

Last note I would have is you would likely want to be running 4 Oni-Cult Anvil if you plan on building around them. More of them in play is always better as long as you don't get hit by a Farewell.

If you have any questions about the suggestions or comments please let me know and I will try to help.

itsbuzzi on Jeskai Ensoul (PNR)

Hey Alebasso, no bother at all! I only have a free account here so I can't have fancy updates showing cards in and out so I tried my best with my update section. Glad it got you to the correct answer because, yes, they aren't there because I never considered them for the deck.

I felt like Smith's etb ability is nice to get another body but growing was a bit slow, and you can't Ensoul them. My list goes to get damage in quick. If they searched for an enchantment and put the artifacts on the bottom instead of giving me a Gingerbrute and putting my enchantments on the bottom that would be nice. Plus with the addition of Hushbringer in the side running Smith is pretty bad because no etb trigger.

Patchwork was a brief thought but I played Hangarback Walker prior and felt that they are very similar and both was too slow as well. The ward ability is nice but can still be played around. Similar to Hangarback Walker where once destroyed he made at least one body, that was then shortly destroyed as well.

Not that either is a bad card I feel they don't fit with my deck. There are a few ways to build Ensoul. UR goes for more aggressive plays, UW is more artifact heavy, Jeskai is a bit of both. There may be other color combinations but I feel these are the most popular 3 and personally the best versions. I like Jeskai because you get a bit of both sides of the coin although playing it you need to figure out which side is better for what you have.

Both Ingenious Smith and Patchwork Automaton are decent cards but better in a more artifact heavy build like the UW version. I only have some of this artifact heavy aspect here but not enough to go "all in" on the specific archtype.

Hope that helped!

Those three would all be interesting! Especially Patchwork Automaton!

Video was great, so is the deck. I wonder if doubling down on the artifact synergies and adding Patchwork Automaton could be even better. Experimental Synthesizer makes for a nice combo with Voltage Surge. Sokenzan Smelter could also be interesting in a Mono-R version.
