(0.0.1) No Golden Guardians —April 27, 2018
-2 Swamp
I noticed that Golden Guardian Flip was way too slow, so I wanted some other artifact creatures to replace him with. I chose Foundry Inspector to make stuff a bit cheaper and Scrap Trawler to get some value from artifacts going to the grave. Also I cut 2 Swamps for 2 Desert of the Glorified to be able to cycle them when I'm fludded.
@Noriyatsu I think Metalspinner's Puzzleknot works better, since it is also an artifact (so it could get discounted by Foundry Inspector. Also I think Arguel's Blood Fast is a bit slow.
I think Treasure Keeper could be interesting, but I would need to cut a 4-drop and I think the current ones are better. But it could be a pretty good budget alternative to Karn, Scion of Urza.

I know this is mono black, but have you thought about splashing red? I have a similar deck thats mono-red, Flingin Artifacts at YA FACE!. GL on crackin a Karn, Scion of Urza! That plus Weatherlight & Phyrexian Scriptures I think really helps really boost this decks power level

@Onyxio I hadn't thought of that, what would suggest I'd splash?

ClockGear Pia's Revolution, Abrade (For sideboard), Ravenous Intruder, Fling (Sideboard against exile decks to still push damage)

@Onyxio I think Ravenous Intruder is better in decks that can produce a lot of artifacts (like servo's), in this deck it will probably be able to sac like 2/3 artifacts and it also dies to Phyrexian Scriptures. I think Fling might be a bit too aggressive and it sucks if it gets countered. Pia's Revolution is an interesting card, but I'm not quite sure what I would cut for it, I don't think I can cut any more creatures, but the noncreature spells feel like they're stronger than Pia's Revolution. Abrade is a very strong card (which I would probably even try to fit in mainboard, but if it's the only card to splash red, I'd rather not do that, since then I can run a lot of colorless lands with upside.
