Creature (4)


Without Metalworker, the deck loses some of its crazy versatility, especially that belonging to the control elements. Instead of hybridizing the deck and forcing control into it, I think pure combo is the more consistent role for the deck to play, freeing up slots for library manipulation and cantrips. The deck feels like the little cousin of Forgemaster MUD. The Transmuter combo works to cheat large artifact creatures into play as early as possible and use them to beat down your opponent. This is done mainly by casting Master Transmuter and then using her ability to bounce herself or another artifact back to your hand, replacing it with a much more frightening machine. The interactions don't stop there, as the bouncing cost of Transmuter makes for some pretty cool plays. For instance, artifact lands act as free artifacts to bounce, which effectively means you can turn your lands into giant artifact monsters for little effort. Also, Transmuter does not specify that the artifact you bounce must be something other than herself. While this is nice in and of itself as far as cheating guys into play, it means she has defense against removal. If your opponent tries to target her with anything, you simply bounce her in response and play her again with her own ability. Outside of the combo, ramping into artifacts shouldn't be difficult with the Sol lands, Grand Architects, and Vedalken Engineers. If all that doesn't work, lay the beats down with the Grand Architects which incidentally function as lords for the deck's creature base.
