This is a really neat and tidy deck right there! I am thinking of steering a rather aggro deck to this template. I hope you don't mind a few questions Do you feel like the indestructible tap-lands slow you down to much in aggressive match-ups? Also, which would you play if you only accommodate for 4 cards: Ensoul Artifact or Rise and Shine? Have you thought of a few copies of Cleansing Nova or Cease / Desist against artifact or enchantment heavy decks? Cease / Desist cantrips and helps you slow graveyard strats without taking a spot in your sideboard. Upvoted!

Hello Xica! I very much appreciate you taking the time to look at the deck and leave your thoughts. Let me see if I can address some of your points and explain why I made the choices I did.

1. Field of Ruin and Demolition Field I agree with you these are great denial cards that can fit in many decks, and are especially good when you can combine with Leonin Arbiter and additional cleansing effects like White Orchid Phantom or Geomancer's Gambit. This is generally how I've seen LD built in modern the past couple years and, frankly, I've found this build to underperform. There are a couple reasons that Fields do not fit in this shell, the main one is they are slow colorfixing (2 cost) vs. Ghost Quarter which, combined with any darksteel land, provides immediate colorfixing. This is really important for the deck as a big part of our plan is sticking the turn 2 tempo play of Boom or Cleansing Wildfire (on myself). Opening Darksteel Citadel + Demo Field is just not what we want to see. These are also SOFT land destruction which use up an entire turn of play in the early game, and don't even tempo the opponent. That plus a tight manabase with limited slots for basics is why I don't run these.

2. Experimental Synthesizer This is a solid engine card and you often see it paired with Gleeful Demolition and similar effects. I've built with this card and Ichor Wellspring in previous versions of the deck. The main reason I avoid these here is simple, Thoughtcast is better card advantage and I don't need artifact fodder because the darksteel lands reliably turn on Gleeful already. The fact that you can only play the exiled card on the current turn when we run so many high-cost bombs we may need ALL of our mana to cast, is sub-optimal.

3. Rise and Shine Alright, so I never said I didn't like this card. I've actually been really close to trying to fit it in here, as a 1-of probably. I just think Kappa Cannoneer is better in the slot. As a 2 mana play, it doesn't fit well in my curve where I want to cast boom on turn 2, drop an opal, then do mycospawn/charmaw/saga turns 3-4-5. The reason this deck works is because it chains that early tempo into this creature-based hard land destruction or saga beatdown almost immediately, keeping the opponent on the back foot for the entire game. 4/4 indest body for 2 is very good, but it just doesn't work with my gameplan as well as the other cards I have chosen because it has no tempo value. Our first priority is to disable the opponent, after which we have much more time to worry about the beatdown plan.

I hope that gives you bit better understanding of the deck! Like I said in the description, I've spent quite a bit of time and effort to develop this and I'm pretty confident I'm running about the best cards I can. Mostly I just want to try and fit a 4th Ghost Quarter, Mishra's Bauble, or Thoughtcast, if I were to change anything at this point. I think I'm probably doing something right here because my testing record is currently an absolutely insane 33 match wins to 8 losses.

Thanks again for your feedback, I'd be happy to check out your list and share my thoughts a bit later when I have some more time!

Hello, i just wanna chime in, about the tension that seems to exist in your deck between the "destroy artifact for value" and "care about number of artifacts in play" effects.

Gleeful Demolition goes well with the multitude of old and new "gains value on sacrifice" artifacts, like Clockwork Percussionist, Experimental Synthesizer, and Ichor Wellspring.
And it makes possible to run Kuldotha Rebirth, and Shrapnel Blast.
...when/if Orcish Bowmasters are present in numbers, being able to exile cards to cast from exile instead of drawing em can be relevant (for whatever it is worth).

And imho MHayashi is onto the correct idea with land destruction decks in modern.
Its best to build them with playset of Demolition Field and Field of Ruin, with 1-2 playset of best spell based land destruction in addition to that.
Using your land to remove opponent's land leaves you with more slots for spells in your deck, compared to using sorceries to destroy lands.

P.s.: I disagree with your take on Rise and Shine (and awaken mechanic in general), those cards are THE reason to splash blue in artifact deck.

Cool deck! Personally I would make these swaps:

Propaganda -> Cephalid Broker
Ethersworn Sphinx -> Alhammarret's Archive
Jhoira's Familiar -> Shorikai, Genesis Engine
Hydroid Krasis -> Arcanis the Omnipotent
Whirler Rogue -> Rise and Shine

Idk how it works/interacts with vehicles and if they get crewed later, but for your consideration: Rise and Shine。At the very least, works really well with the artifact lands you're already running. Additional land to consider running: Power Depot. With all the other artifact synergy，Kappa Cannoneer might be a good include and I'd definitely consider adding a Steel Overseer. Idk what to cut for them, but all would probably get some good value, imo.

Cool deck! Personally I would make these swaps:

Messenger Jays -> Academy Manufactor
Lieutenants of the Guard -> Coalition Flag (fun to put on Tivit since he has Ward 3)
Venser's Journal -> Auton Soldier (can copy Tivit!)
Winged Words -> Battle Mastery (double strike on Tivit to double his effect)
Propaganda -> Thorough Investigation
Warden of Evos Isle -> Worn Powerstone
Emergency Powers -> Anointed Procession
Fact or Fiction -> Spark Double
Dig Through Time -> Irenicus's Vile Duplication
Eligeth, Crossroads Augur -> Inspiring Statuary (can tap itself to reduce costs, also allows you to tap clues & treasures to reduce costs)
Sphinx Sovereign -> Brago's Representative
Treasure Cruise -> Sakashima of a Thousand Faces
Opt -> Sakashima the Impostor
Unesh, Criosphinx Sovereign -> Time Sieve
Vexing Sphinx -> Mirkwood Bats
Aetherize -> Mondrak, Glory Dominus
Sphinx of Foresight -> Rise and Shine
Glyph Keeper -> Cyberdrive Awakener

Triton thanks for the vote and suggestions:)

Rise and Shine looks very good, I’d missed that one!

The other suggestions I did / would consider, but I’ll give you my reasons for why they aren’t in the build.

Riddlesmith doesn’t actually draw as many cards as the Koi, as it triggers on cast where as Kointriggers on ETB, so the koi triggers off Mishra’s tokens. I also found there to be enough draw in the Artifact triggers.

However, Skullclamp could actually go in as a replacement, I have found that I’m often not even casting Koi in the play tests, I’ve had turns with 2 coveted jewel triggers and drawn 6 on turn 6, and clamp would benefit from the death of the token too.

Trophy Mage was in the build until I Put Arcum Dagsson inas that’s repeatable and he can sacrifice the tokens made my mishra.

And finally Ruthless Technomancer was considered for a while but I realised I’m not running enough artifacts I want to sacrifice and not making mass tokens to benefit from his ability, at first I did lean into treasures but as the build progressed realised it was a more efficient to not have the treasure production and have more value with Mishra if that makes sense?
