But of course its too slow and disruptable, so suggestions to speed it up or make it more defensive while still keepin the drops to turns 4-6 is the aim right now. Halp?

Add 4 X  {Sol Ring} and maybe  {Dreamstone Hedron} or  {Pristine Talisman}

Also, for land, run 4x  {Cloudpost} and  {Glimmerpost}

This right here ^. {Cloudpost} is a great way to build up mana, and {Vesuva} helps with consistently having cloudposts, though its gotten more pricey recently. Perhaps something like {Master Transmuter} would help speed the deck up.

You posted this in casual??

And they are amazing.  I use them in my Eldrazi deck, and they're absolutely beautiful.

 {Blinkmoth Urn} if you are running lots of artifacts  {Darksteel Juggernaut} for the face slap and your {Steel Hellkite} to use the extra mana as pump.

{darksteel juggernaut} and {steel hellkite} are my mains in this deck, and {clockwork dragon} always can soak up extra mana. The only issue i have with {blinkmoth urn} is that its simply unecessary except to add even more ridiculous pump to clockwork. By the time i can play it, i can already play almost every card but {darksteel juggernaut}, and because it empties after every phase the mana can only be spent on that one ability from clockwork. Itd be a great card if i had more relevant abilities

How often does {Darksteel Colossus} hit the field?

I think Urzatron is still cheap.

Darksteel colossus is usually playable by turn 7 and hits the field probably most games. Im thinking of dropping him or making him a 1-of though, because once he drops hes just big but provides no outlet for mana. Steel hellkite can generally swing for 11-13 consistently with some mana to spare by the time my colossus can attack. Hes simply $3 i dont need to spend at this point in my opinion

Ok this deck feels good. Chances are i wont be messing with the sideboard because of priceyness and its not really cards ill need, idk how to make a good sideboard.

I have been playing for a few years now and it still takes me hours of {Ponder}ing to get a sideboard I like :P

2 Colossi seems a little unnecessary.  I would prolly only run 1.
Title: Re: ICantFigureOutArtiRamp!!
Post by: MisterJH on December 25, 2012, 05:01:34 PM
Im really prefering the {clockwork dragon} because hes definitelly gettinf 1-5 counters every tun, if my mana ramp just starts dropping... But i think a colossus is more reliable
Title: Re: ICantFigureOutArtiRamp!!
Post by: Silent1236 on December 25, 2012, 05:04:15 PM
Run a {Darksteel Colossus} and a {Blightsteel Colossus}?  Drop both of those and you'll lose friends ;)
Title: Re: ICantFigureOutArtiRamp!!
Post by: MisterJH on December 25, 2012, 05:06:17 PM
Problem is my perfect balance of ramp/creatures, in fact i often run out of things to drop, at which point i pump hellkites and clockworks like a madman.. I think i could work those in but i need some help on what to take out.
Title: Re: ICantFigureOutArtiRamp!!
Post by: Silent1236 on December 25, 2012, 06:16:54 PM
Oh I mean just taking out one darksteel for a blightsteel could be fun
Title: Re: ICantFigureOutArtiRamp!!
Post by: MisterJH on December 25, 2012, 06:25:32 PM
The current deck -3 tezzeret's gambit +3 fabricate seems to be the shizz
