v1.3 - New Capenna + smoothing things out a bit —May 7, 2022

OUT - Kuldotha Forgemaster, Witching Well, Workshop Assistant, Meteor Golem

IN - Master Transmuter, Gilded Pinions, Myr Retriever, Spine of Ish Sah

Only a single card from New Capenna made the cut for this deck. Gilded Pinions, a simple little common. The other changes were made due to feedback from the comments and helps to smooth out the deck slightly.

Deck is basically stable at this point. Probably won't see any changes until the next Dominaria sets later this year.

A few basic optimizations really stand out to me. For example, swapping Workshop Assistant for the cheaper Myr Retriever or the flying Junk Diver. Etherium Sculptor over Jhoira's Familiar is another- though being fair the former doesn't discount non-artifact legendaries.

Unless you need it as a creature, Spine of Ish Sah is probably better than Meteor Golem especially as it synergizes as sacrifice-fuel, and can be tutored out with Arcum. It has the ability to also take down problematic lands if needed, like Fields of the Dead or a flipped Thaumatic Compass.

I'd also highly, HIGHLY recommend Master Transmuter - she's a wonderful addition, her worst case scenario is flickering your artifacts- getting an additional ETB out of them, by putting back down the same artifact you picked up. Her best is swapping a Sol Ring for a Darksteel Forge at instant-speed.

^Thanks for the advice! Most all of those cards are ones that I have laying around and have been in and out of my Rebbec/Glacian deck. I'll add them to the maybeboard and give them all another glance over the next time I make an update.
