What a tongue twister.

This is my U/B artifact deck. When I decided to build a dedicated artifact deck I wanted to do something a little off the beaten path. That's why I chose Dimir as my color combination for this deck. Blue can carry any artifact strategy by itself, but I like the synergy that black "artifact matters" cards bring to the table.

This deck can win the game in a variety of ways. Most methods rely on swarming the board with artifacts which can be done relatively easily with the amount of mana rocks and artifact cost reducing cards, like Etherium Sculptor, that reside in the deck. Once our hand is deployed the deck usually looks to start attacking opponents to pressure life totals, control the board with Arimx, Filigree Thrasher, and generate card advantage with Silas Renn, Seeker Adept. Alternatively to simply winning through combat, we can create multiple value based loops using the wide board that we create. Time Sieve can generate multiple or infinite extra turns by sacrificing tokens generated off of cards like Efficient Construction and Sai, Master Thopterist.
