The concept of this deck is simple. And that is to just swarm the enemy with your artifact creatures, and shut down their spells with cards like Lodestone Golem (thus I made the deck run almost on artifact cards, except for Jace for some control.)

This deck is definitely screaming for the card Ethersworn Canonist, to further shut down your enemy's options.

The deck also abuses the affinity mechanic along with lowering artifact costs through Etherium Sculptor thus allowing you an early Master of Etherium drop.. which essentially allow you to play your huge cards Mycosynth Golem for a very cheap cost.

Howling Mine also abuses your "free" artifact creature spells, thus allowing this deck to even gain more speed, making it deadlier with precision. This deck can be shut down however with control decks, and anti-artifact decks, so this deck is far from being overpowered.

I'll try to post an AI version of this deck soon.

That reminds me, I have to post Deadly Toys #2 one of these days. We love so many of the new artifact cards.
