Hit Me Baby One More Time! *PRIMER*

Neat idea and looks like a solid execution on a budget! To me this feels sort of like 60 card azorius control that you might see in standard But with a built in huge flying beater and card draw. Seems like it would work pretty well either in 1v1 where you are all tempo like a standard deck, or in multiplayer where you can sit back and accumulate cards, using interaction sparingly to stop key plays and eventually attritioning/beating players down, just like the 60 card deck would do with Hall of Storm Giants.
I was going to recommend more wrath but I suppose if you want to be attacked you don't want to wrath too much. Though wraths still seem really good to me in a deck with 43 instants, since you don't have much board commitment. Cards that can hard clear arts and enchants are generally very good, like Hour of Revelation, Planar Cleansing, and Urza's Ruinous Blast. But there's definitely tension between these and your mana rock acceleration. I think maybe a build is possible with more wrath and white catchup ramp that nets lands in place of the artifacts. Also Skyclave Relic is great for this. But the nonland wraths totally crush decks which over-commit to the board, such as the fast aggro or artifact based combo decks which could maybe out-speed and overwhelm you. Since you have a focus on protection for Isperia, wrathing then having her out on an empty board ready to chunk opponents seems pretty good. Finally on the topic of protection, it seems you have a lot of indestructible spells but not much hexproof for things like Plow. What about the classic Swiftfoot Boots? Haste makes a lot of sense too for a commander that wants to be attacking. Anyways that turned into a lot, lol. Cool deck!

Thanks for the comment! Rebound is great but its only problem is if you don't cast it from your hand you don't get the effect and full value of the card. Which is why I only have the one rebound card in there.
After playing this deck a bit I will probably be adding Academy Manufactor but I'll most likely replace The Battle of Bywater as creatures tend to get bigger then 3 power really quickly. Urza's Ruinous Blast wipes out your foods which is really bad so I'm probably gonna replace that with Farewell so I can get rid of whatever I need to while keeping my foods.

I recently made a Rocco deck myself. Glad I stumbled across your build. I was wondering what spells to use for casting from exile and you have done a great job giving ideas. I even remembered Rebound was a thing I could use because you're using Terramorph.
From your Maybe board I would definitely recommend Academy Manufactor instead of the Urza's Ruinous Blast. It would create some aggro because you have the creatures that react to artifacts entering the field, and the Academy Manufacture will triple the damage output, but you add Clues for draw and Treasures for mana ramp. The Ruinous Blast may be a good reset button, but it resets yourself as well, but that's just my opinion.

Urza upgrade
2 years ago
Hey, some nice upgrades to the precon so far. Good additions of wincon combos: Sword + Foundry + Altar and Urza, PoK + Altar + Battlesphere.
Consider cutting a few of the lesser unnecessary higher mana cost creatures for some more draw? Constructs have an easy time if they can attack at doing combat damage to an opponent thanks to menace from Urza. If you can draw a card each time a Construct does combat damage to an opponent then you're getting great value from Constructs and a good reason to want to attack. Bident of Thassa is in the precon and it's repeatable draw with Constructs. Research Thief is more repeatable draw with Constructs that's also a flying artifact creature. More repeatable draw from Constructs can help to draw combo pieces.
Skullclamp is in the precon and it's excellent with Sword + Foundry combo since it creates 1/1 Thopters that can then each be saced for 1 mana to draw two cards. Because Urza's artifact creature affinity can pay for his Commander tax then Skullclamp with Urza is another way for repeatable draw.
Grim Hireling doesn't draw with Constructs it makes ramp, treasures which can help with Revel in Riches since the only reliable source of treasures here is Tithe. Hireling's effect is like Thopter Spy Network where you can trigger it more than once if you have creatures do combat damage to more than one opponent.
When deciding to add a card, it can help deck building and the mana curve to cut a card that's more mana cost. Wire Surgeons is a lesser 6 drop here than the rest and it's effect is only artifact creature not artifact. Having to pay the mana cost of an artifact creature in your graveyard to then exile that artifact is not good. Sharuum the Hegemon another 6 drop here who reanimates an artifact which is much better than what Surgeons does. Marionette Master can be a wincon with combos: Sword + Foundry + Altar and Urza, PoK + Altar + Battlesphere, but this is adding a fourth card, 6 drop, to the combos which is a lot and is really not needed because these combos create infinite artifact tokens which gives Constructs infinite power/toughness.
If you want to combo with Sword + Foundry then you can't control any effect that increases p/t of artifact creatures. Thankfully, Foundry can sac any nontoken artifact, before you want to combo with Sword + Foundry sac the artifact anthem effect. This makes anthem effects that increase p/t that are artifacts better than anthem nonartifact cards. Urza, Prince of Kroog is the exception since it's part of another combo. Since playing Sword + Foundry consider cutting Tempered Steel?
You want to avoid artifact exile effects as much as possible because you have no way of getting back a card in exile. Playing some more Counterspells is a mana efficent way to counter opponent exile effects. Urza's Ruinous Blast hurts you too much since it exiles all Constructs and all combo pieces here except Urza, Prince of Kroog. All the 4 drops here have effects either when ETB or repeatable except Filigree Attendant doesn't, making it a much lesser card that could be cut?
Steel Seraph is a reasonable priced upgrade for Hexavus. Seraph can be cast with prototype for 3 mana giving you a 3/3 artifact creature flier to help artifact creature affinity for Urza and it can on your turn at combat give a creature you control flying including Urza. Wonder is another better option then Hexavus for flying, Unctus, Grand Metatect or Armix, Filigree Thrasher can discard it while in combat. Discard Wonder when you have to discard down to 7 card hand size because you drew so many cards.
Good luck with your deck.

But to be sure to see the destruction caused by Urza's Ruinous Blast, some Sunglasses of Urza are sorely needed.

Baron_Pretzels okay. The reason I put some of the cards in is because it's not just the multicolour but I also wanted each solo colour to be represented by at least one creature and one spell:
CREATURE
White: Sisay, Weatherlight Captain, Odric, Lunarch Marshal
Blue: Esior, Wardwing Familiar
Black: Drana, Liberator of Malakir
Green: Sakura-Tribe Elder, Fallaji Wayfarer, Esika, God of the Tree Flip, Kolvori, God of Kinship Flip
SPELL
White: Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Urza's Ruinous Blast
Blue: Negate
Black: Yawgmoth's Vile Offering
Red: Mana Cannons
Green: Beast Within, Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, Farseek, Nature's Lore
Another Blue creature I was thinking was Fblthp, the Lost
Reason I put The World Tree was probably cause I've put Esika in.
