a artifact tax deck

It was a difficult job to create a deck that would tax my opponents and let me play freely.

Playstyle

Playstyle is based around knowing what card is on top of your library and being able to cast that card

Key components playstyle Show

• Elsha of the Infinite
• Mystic Forge
the combination of Elsha of the Infinite + Mystic Forge let me play everything from the top of my library unless there is a land or non-artifact creature on top.
• Shimmer Myr
• Thran Temporal Gateway

taxation

this was the difficult part of the deck. make it to tax my opponents and not myself (to much). Most of my taxation gives me even more of an advantage over my opponents in stead of blocking everyone fron playing spells.

• Ethersworn Canonist prevents my opponents from playing more than one nonartifact spell each turn
• Winter Orb limits the mana consumption
• Smothering Tithe creates the opportunity for more mana every time an opponent draws a card
• card:God-pharao's statue classic tax
• Overburden limits the ammount of creatures on the battlefield
• Amulet of Safekeeping counter effects if opponents don't pay extra
• Ensnaring Bridge i love this card! because of the reason that i don't have much card-draw and play most of my cards from the top of my library creatures with to much power can't attack and makes it more likly that i win by a win condition
• Propaganda another classic taxing card
• Ghostly Prison and another
• Karn, the Great Creator
• Rhystic Study gives me a bit of card-draw or extra taxing

Win Cons Show

• Mechanized Production
• Mirrodin Besieged
• Hellkite Tyrant
• Aetherflux Reservoir + Sensei's Divining Top
with any cost reducer

There are a lot of creatures in this deck but they are mainly for utility.
