THOPTER SPY NETWORK INFINATE COMBO CRACK

Lightning Greaves was simply redundant given PadeemвЂ™s hexproof ability, and while it was true that the Greaves could protect Padeem, I have a better pair of cards in mind for that purpose. Mind Stone is a fine mana rock, but I wanted to trim your ramp package a little, and I much prefer the bigger rocks you were running like Dreamstone Hedron, at least for a deck that needs to reach eleven mana at some point in every game. Key and Clock are both fantastic combo pieces for a wide variety of decks, but other than marginally speeding up your ramp and letting you untap a few creatures as surprise blockers, you simply donвЂ™t have a use for these cards. Voltaic Key and Clock of Omens are both fantastic cards that are getting cut because they donвЂ™t really do anything in this deck. Since there were other high-costed artifacts I wanted to include that are both better for your gameplan and would bring far less hatred down on your head, I didnвЂ™t feel too bad about cutting such an individually strong card. Memnarch is very, very, strong, but he draws hate like no other card IвЂ™ve seen. Sage of Lat-Nam is great for combo or control decks where you just want to fill up your hand, but in a beatdown deck, battlefield presence is far more important, especially since your commander negates spot removal, so you wonвЂ™t even have the benefit of sacrificing doomed creatures to draw cards. The last two creatures IвЂ™m cutting are powerful, but they have other problems. ItвЂ™s your only piece of countermagic, but countermagic that your opponents see coming is always subpar, and the 1/3 is just going to sit there and get outclassed. Similarly, Wizard Replica is just underwhelming. This deck has enough card advantage built in that you donвЂ™t really need the death trigger here, and you have much better bodies than a 2/2 for three. Gaining two life is so much worse than ramping a basic land onto the battlefield that the Fox costing one less doesnвЂ™t come close to making up for it. It doesnвЂ™t generate so much value that itвЂ™s a shoo-in for every commander deck ever. Filigree Familiar isnвЂ™t Solemn Simulacrum. I know people are quite high on Filigree Familiar now, but letвЂ™s make one thing clear. This isnвЂ™t that kind of deck, and IвЂ™d much rather just have more aggressive creatures than a slow way to bring one of your beaters back after it dies. IвЂ™ve played Myr Retriever in several artifact decks, and the only time IвЂ™ve ever been happy to have it is when I need the ability to recur very specific combo cards.

Longtime readers know that I have a fondness for artifact decks, so despite Bennie SmithвЂ™s fantastic take of Padeem, Consul of Innovation last week, I decided to take a crack at the new Artificer legendary creature myself. Second, am I missing any helpful blue or colorless aggressive elements? I want to make sure this deck hits hard and hits often. Is there any way to be a bit more innovative with my artifact beatdown deck? Padeem wants to be impressed, and I would love nothing more than to do just that. First, March of the Machines decks have been done before, and I feel as though mine retreads a lot of covered territory. The titan-esque statue is one of my favorite pet cards.

Plus, any deck in which I get to play Colossus of Akros makes me happy. I like my aggressive elements, and I feel like I am making the most of my land base despite being monocolored. I have good artifact mana generation and a handful of card advantage aside from Padeem.

I like a lot of whatвЂ™s present in the deck. Plus, beatdown decks could often use a bit of passive card draw, and with Padeem and expensive artifacts in play, that passive card draw is more likely to be active, if you catch my drift. March of the Machines is one of my favorite cards, and granting immunity from targeted removal to my robotic beaters is delightful. Where I want to go with Padeem is artifact beatdown. Sure, one could go down the busted-combo-deck road, but Padeem isnвЂ™t forcing you down it itвЂ™s merely offering the choice. Padeem simply offers hexproof to your artifacts and some situational card draw. However, I was happy to see Padeem, Consul of Innovation was not the next Arcum Dagsson. Mono-blue Commander decksвЂ“especially ones with an artifact slantвЂ“usually set off busted-combo-deck alarms.
