Herald of the Machine Age

So, due to the relative popularity of the first deck I posted, I have another, this time for all of you artifact fans out there. Artifacts are one of my favorite card types; their mostly colorless nature means they can be included in just about any deck, whether it be for combos or just fun effects, and I've always had a bit of a soft spot for automatons. So, therefore, the only natural thing for me to do was construct an entire EDH deck based around them. Blue is a color that lends itself easily to this task, but a friend of mine who heard about my plans gave me a Bosh, Iron Golem for free, and I just felt it wouldn't be right not to include him. So, faced with the need for a deck with a blue/red color identity, I turned to the only Dragon Wizard (and only red/blue legendary in my possession at the time) that I knew would be up to the task: Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind. After all, who else would be better suited to lead a mad machine army in the pursuit of science? And so, without further ado, here is the deck list for Niv-Mizzet's Mecha Marvels:

Though he was a general born of necessity, Niv-Mizzet's ability to give me an extra card each turn has proven invaluable in a deck where I often find myself without cards in hand (especially once Mycosynth Golem makes it free to cast most of my creatures), and his damage capabilities have pinged many a small nuisance from across the board. My favorite part, of course, is when Mycosynth Lattice is on the field, and I'm the only one with a legendary Cyborg Dragon Wizard. I'll let that sink in for a bit.

I likely won't be writing about Magic for a while after this post as I endeavor to start an AAR and continue work on a short RPG I'm designing, but look for more content sometime around the middle of the month, hopefully with a complete listing of two new deck ideas I've come up with!
