Brutal. This is a mean vintage pile. If you are already bending the rules why not throw in Tolarian Academy?

Urza's Saga would be a strong addition.

Crypt of Agadeem too slow?

Ritual of the Machine and Koskun Falls color pie bending tech.

Echo of Eons I find myself sneaking this into all kinds of different strategies. You are already running the original maybe this could be a solid second copy.

There's Storm the Vault  ^Flip as a reference of how many hoops to jump through is too much, I don't think that one sees a lot of play, even though it's effectively a Tolarian Academy.

I don't like the name though, Moxen are mana artifacts that cost {0}.

WotC finally printed a creature version of Gaea's Cradle in the form of Circle of Dreams Druid. meaning that it counts itself for its own ability, so I decided to create an artifact version, since Tolarian Academy does not count itself, and here is the result of my work:

Mox Quartz Show

Mox Quartz

Casting Cost: {3}

Artifact

{T}: add {U} to your mana pool for each artifact that you control.

I kept this card very simple and straightforward, but, if anyone feels that 3 mana is too low of a cost for such a card, please let me know, and I shall make a version with a higher mana cost.

What does everyone else think about this card?

Also, as a side note, it has been years since I last played Dungeons & Dragons, so does Circle of Dreams Druid represent a specific location or element in that game? If so, I would be very disappointed, as that would limit the sets in which it can be reprinted.

I remember that music like I heard it yesterday.

Cool deck, what about Storm the Vault  ^Flip would give you a decent amount of buffs on damage or if you cast it mid game and have a semi decent board could just flip into Tolarian Academy which is pretty busted.

In pioneer there's a deck making good use of Hidden Strings and Pore Over the Pages to storm off with Lotus Field mana.

The thing they used to do with Turnabout and Frantic Search, or maybe even Time Spiral or Treachery, anything to untap Tolarian Academy for insane amounts of mana.

And Twiddle of course, can't forget that one.

That's in addition to the extra turn argument I tried making in my last post.

Blue untaps a LOT of lands, more with spells than, permanents, although Fatestitcher and Vizier of Tumbling Sands aren't new cards either.

I’ve been working on a list on my side: 22-01-23-eKY-myr The list is not final

Some interesting cards for the deck:

• Storm the Vault  ^Flip This card is basically Tolarian Academy in this deck for only 5$

• Darksteel Forge this could be interesting since the deck is mostly artifact based it is very vulnerable to removal and so this can help protect your board

• Kuldotha Forgemaster this lets you tutor out any artifacts in the deck for free (this would be what i use most of the time to put Darksteel Forge on the board)

• Other artifact tutors: Inventors' Fair Fabricate Reshape Saheeli's Directive Whir of Invention

• Recursion: Buried Ruinsand Myr Reservoir

• Finisher/wincon:

• Ruthless Invasion This can let you easily go for the kill on everyone with pumped Myrs unless they are also playing an artifact based deck

• Mechanized Production Just cast it targeting a myr token et voila

Other Utilities: Alibou, Ancient Witness and Karn, Living Legacy Both let you go some damage or removal while helping you ramp or scry your deck

If the BW deck uses lots of enchantments, Ancestral Mask is pretty strong. It's also a card that's a great payoff for using lots of enchantments yourself. For the record, I suspect Enchantments as a theme is much more supported than Equipment is, there are incredibly borked cards like Serra's Sanctum (Tolarian Academy is banned), Academy Rector, and Replenish (the best of it's kind, but there are assorted other cheap versions), while stuff like Hall of Heliod's Generosity and many various Enchantresses (there aren't as many for Equipment I think) including Verduran Enchantress and Kor Spiritdancer are also very good. I have a Boros deck that uses creatures that draw cards off of enchantments being cast and stuff like Flickering Ward that I can recast over and over, I think Green has a bunch of other solid Enchantress cards, stuff like Setessan Champion. I think you can definitely run both and do fine, but if you wanted to go all in on one, Enchantments is really well supported in Bant.

If your Commander will usually have Double Strike, you probably could run Inquisitor's Flail, it's a really strong equipment with First Strike damage.

Not sure if you've got enough creatures to make it a viable alternative, but something like Pathbreaker Ibex could be an amusing backup Commander if you lose Rafiq somehow, maybe an Oubliette. The neat thing about Pathbreaker is that it can also double it's power (and get trample) after you buff it up, so it can be a very fast clock as well, and it has the not insubstantial upside that if you have a few creatures out with Rafiq you can just clobber people with a big Ibex swing.
