Looks solid (but 1 Serra's Sanctum is enough i think - the AI won't mulligan with only 2 Serra's Sanctum as lands). I'd say it's a little too powerful for medium.

Hah, I was going to make one too. Manfred von Richthofen and his arsenal of flying artifact creatures.

The deck looks interesting but the manabase looks unstable, running 4 Clifftop Retreats doesn't seem to work when you don't have enough of the land types for it to enter untapped.

EDIT: Woah, I got a pretty neat idea.

Yea, I think when I was writing it up, I was thinking it was the 3 or less land, not the same type land. And then I kept trimming basics as I was swapping in other lands. Can easily shuffle the land a bit to pull in more pains/shocks/etc. I think a few of the 4 utility lands can probably be dropped, but I wasn't sure which would be best, so I just left them all.

Veteran Armorer and Glorious Anthem look a bit out of place here without artifact synergy. What about Chief of the Foundry and Thopter Engineer?

This deck has potential, the AI keeps wasting mana on Feldon however even when there's nothing in the yard.

Neither of those boost Goblin Kaboomist to keep him alive, and if one of the primary goals is to keep spitting out traps on a stalled game, he'll die without something to boost him.

I just fixed that issue yesterday. For some reason the CopyPermanent AI didn't actually use the targeting Zone, and instead assumed it was the battlefield.

Three versions of a defender deck.

They are looking good, especially the first one is quite polished (but could make use of the Colossus of Akros tech from the second deck). I'm a bit concerned about Axebane Guardian - does the AI use it well?

In what way? For all I know, it gets mana and spends a lot of spells. I couldn't tell if there was anything wrong with that. Does the AI have trouple splitting the mana into different colors or something?

I tried working on a deck that gives the player painful choices, unfortunately it could use some early-game control as it's slow to start up.
