Working in a tempered steel deck but I don't wanna buy mox opals so that said, if you guys could give me suggestions and feedback that would be great! I haven't looked at other tempered steel before building this it's just my first attempt by myself so let me know what you think

Get more artifacts. Living Weapon cards, other good artifacts and a couple Brass Squires. Also for good measure and in two or three Myr Sire. (this is advice for the sideboard)

Glint hawk idol is a must.
Etched champions.

I have 3 champions, 4 idols, and 2 mox opals if you wanna trade.
Shrine of loyal legions is great too.

I'd be interested in the champions and the opals I have the idols I'm not sure why I didn't think of them lol

How will the equipment help it exactly with {brass squires} if I'm relying on tempered steel for artifact creatures? I mean the germ tokens can't get a bonus I believe, unless you mean to make the cards like etched champion and hovermyr better?

I run temp steel on fnm . It eats people . I would think of {jor kadeen} kus if you stall and drop a jor your etched swing for 5 pro colors pre temp steel .. Inkmoths 4/1 .... I only run 2of them

I actually have a few jor kadeen...I'm definitely gonna consider that

Jor is good. But not needed. I ran the Connelly woods pro deck for a while. Equipment isn't really needed. If everything goes well, you can pretty much win by turn 4 or 5.
Grab. Few shrines and crack them at the end of their turn, swing for fatal. Ts easy to make 5 or 6 3/3 or 5/5 myrs with it.

I think I have a few shrines I can put in

Only prob now is I'm short 2 cards
Title: Re: Tempered Steel
Post by: ryannorris16 on March 12, 2012, 01:01:19 AM
I ran
4 {glint hawk}
4 {glint hawk idol}
4 {origin spellbomb}

The legionarre isn't bad, a little expensive.

I'd replace him with the idol and run some spellbombs.

Tbh it's my best standard deck, it's won me the most matches and it's an overal fun deck to have and make and totally worth the money

Do you run etched champions as well?
Title: Re: Tempered Steel
Post by: MaDeM MaD on March 12, 2012, 03:00:27 PM
I run 4 {etched champion}s, replace hovrmyr with {glint hawk}. Add {glint hawk idol}s, {origin spellbomb}s

It's funny because there aren't alot of TS decks in standard right now. Nothing beats having 2-3 creatures out and being metal crafted on turn 1 and then having a TS out on turn 2

Really gotta whatch for overextending though. Don't do too much at once
Title: Re: Tempered Steel
Post by: Validan on March 12, 2012, 05:25:32 PM
With red there's not a lot of draw spells without a kicker to them, I mean faithless looting is nice but I still have to pitch two cards
Title: Re: Tempered Steel
Post by: ryannorris16 on March 12, 2012, 05:27:07 PM
It easy to complicate a deck like this. Id try to stay one color honestly.  This deck should be short and sweet.
Title: Re: Tempered Steel
Post by: Validan on March 12, 2012, 08:32:37 PM
It seems easiest to stick to one color because it works so fast as it is...
Title: Re: Tempered Steel
Post by: ryannorris16 on March 12, 2012, 10:08:41 PM
Exactly. I did white. I splashed blue with some dual lands for midnight haunting and spellskite. Just 4 sources though.
Title: Re: Tempered Steel
Post by: Elitehalo360 on March 13, 2012, 12:02:35 AM
Same with {razor verge thicket} but a {mox opal} covers your lack of what ever color you need, wither it be {spellskite}s blue or {Vault Skirge}'s black

{whip flare} is good if you go R/W
