This deck basically has a ton of search to get out Power artifact+Grim monolith for infinite mana.. It wins pretty consistently..

Then again why wouldnt it if you can look at the top 3/5/10 cards of your library every game.

It is kinda funny to stroke yourself for most of your deck and drop 3 artifact bombs :eek:

(61 cards)

Spells
4 Accumulated Knowledge
4 Sleight of Hand
4 Impulse
4 Power Artifact
3 Ancestral Knowledge
3 Portent
3 Stroke of Genius
2 Fabricate
2 Mystical Tutor
2 Prosperity

Artifacts
4 Grim Monolith
2 Magma Mine
2 Rocket Launcher

Lands
22 Island

I don't hate it...

I would change the card drawing around some and add a bit of countermagic (Force of Will especially, and Counterspell probably).

I would go with multiple copies of Stroke and probably Braingeyser. I would definitely eliminate Prosperity, as it is dangerous...

What about Eyes of the Watcher?. Really abuse the scry mechanic by scrying before you draw...big difference. Also what about maindecking the Metal Worker/Galvanic Constuct combo? So that way your not S.O.L. if your monolith is oxodized, naturalized, and etc.

Here's what I'd roll with:

Artifacts: 15

4 Metal Worker
4 Voltaic Construct
4 Goblin Cannon
2 Rocket Launcher
1 Grim Monolith (it's restricted)

Spells: 22
4 Power Artifact
4 Accumulated Knowledge
1 Frantic Search
1 Fact or Fiction
1 Braingeyser
1 Stroke of Genius
2 Impulse
4 Brainstorm
3 Eyes of the Watcher
1 Fabricate

Land: 23
22 Islands
1 Tolarian Academy

EDIT

I agree with Oversoul. Unless I'm going to be killing everyone on the table through a Underworld Dreams or something, I never run Prosperity.

true.. i had a metalworker construct deck and found it ridiculously cheesy... only problem is they're aren't many artifacts..

I like the eyes of watcher idea.. Might as well use my braingeysers... I will under no circumstance drop ancestral knowledge though :)... best draw stacking in the history of magic. :D

I would run more than one Braingeyser (or switch over to Strokes maybe if it gets unrestricted). But I like RL's list. Maybe Intuition could be squeezed in there as well...

the problem is i need blue mana more than anything. The only way i think i could get more blue early is to make it a tolarian deck, which might work as well.

So what did the deck end up looking like? I'm in the market and this one certaintly grabs my interest...

Well the outcome is usually the same. By turn 2 i usually have my infinite, and usually multiple copies of the card in hand. Sometimes turn 3-4 if im playing around.

The problem is its just not fun, it's predictably good. :(

22 islands are in this.

You can run saprazzan skerrys, chrome moxes.

Then you have it. I just like the consistency of all islands.

Then how is the following even remotely accurate?

Because i tried to remember what the deck was instead of actually posting the precise deck. I did the same thing with another deck describing a synergy with aether vial, when i ran them in the sideboard...which wasnt listed.

My mistake.
