This deck came together because i wanted to build an original deck that can also hold its own and after many iterations i have, what i believe, a fairly powerful deck. It is interesting as it is an artifact based deck yet artifact hate doesnt really do much to this deck. It can have an extremely explosive early game by getting out Salvage Titan as early as turn one and it can be a powerhouse in the late game. Also, i am still working on the sideboard so if you have any recommendations for that they would be greatly appreciated!
CREATURES:
2x Arcbound Ravager: it may be weird to see this guy only as a 2 of in an artifact based deck but this guy can be very conflicting when it comes to the main win-con of an early game Salvage Titan but he is just way too good not to include.
4x Memnite: there isnt really much to say about this guy that isnt blatantly obvious. This deck runs 0 drop artifacts that can do things and a 0 drop 1/1 is an auto include.
4x
Ornithopter
: same deal as Memnite plus Hes a decent early blocker, he is a flyer that can be given counters from Arcbound Ravager and if nothing else he can, and most likely will, be sacced.
2x Salvage Titan: this card just makes me extremely happy! He is a big dude that i can usually play as early as turn one and he can be brought back to my hand from the graveyard with ease! This guy is just an absolute monster in this deck.
3x Slag Fiend: this card is essentially this decks Tarmogoyf except he can and usually will be much bigger! The synergy with this guy and Arcbound Ravager on the field together can be crazy and makes for one hell of a time! I only have 3 in the deck due to the fact that if played early game this guy is almost guaranteed to get hit by removal right away so 3 sounded like a proper number.
OTHER SPELLS:
4x Chromatic Star: ok, so this deck obviously has a thing for saccing artifacts so i included cheap artifacts that involve drawing not only when activated but also when they are sent to the graveyard and Chromatic Star is the poster child for this so it is an obvious 4 of.
3x Galvanic Blast: this deck needed some sort of burn/removal spell and this card fit the bill in almsot every way. It will almost always do 4 damage so It can take out many creatures that threaten this deck, plus it can hit the opponents face, what more can i ask for!
4x Mox Opal: no explanation is needed for a 0 drop that produces free mana and can be chained for multiple instances of free mana!
2x Ichor Wellspring: a cheap artifact that draws you two cards and is asking to be sacrificed, yes please!
3x Shrapnel Blast: 5 damage at the cost of one of your many artifacts that you plan on sacrificing anyways? Of course this card makes it into the deck!
4x Welding Jar: a 0 drop that will be sacced many times but it also serves as a very reliable way to make sure your Salvage Titan or Arcbound Ravager stays alive considering all the removal in the modern meta this card deserves its place in the deck.
1x Scrapyard Salvo: i added this card as an alternate win con. This card usually wont be relevant until late game which is why its only a 1 of but it can do a ton of damage in this build!
4x Thoughtcast: i just recently changed this deck to be R/U and of course this card will be included as a 4 of in this build.
4x Ensoul Artifact: another big win con in this deck that can make many of my small creatures or even
Darksteel Citadel
s a decent threat.
The lands in this deck are very straightforward and really dont need an explanation. If you like the deck please give it an upvote and let me know what you think!
