Thinking of adding some Tezzerets, yes? No? Maybe? Kill myself for even suggesting it? What? I need you guys for this!

I'd say no tezzie and that i think {thoughtcast} is better than {galvanic blast}. Also, ravager isn't too great now, so i might only run 3 mainboard and add in another {Memnite}.

Looks great! I don't know if you need the extra island over an additional one of the 3-ofs in the maindeck, but that's your call. +1

It's really a fallback. Thanks, but this is mainly a netdeck. I made some edits but not many. What should the sideboard be?

Ornithopter is used over memnite because of evasion. With a cranial plating on it your opponent will be on a 2-3 turn clock

{Ornithopter} is better, yes

On the side you may want {Torpor Orb} and {Whipflare} for pod, {Blood moon} for tron and uwr, {thoughtseize} for any combo, {dispatch} for value, {relic of progenitus} for pod and living end, and {silent arbiter} for splinter twin.

I don't understand the name...
I'm pretty sure it's a reference? Y'know, "In that moment I swear we were infinite"?

That and affinity, which is the name of this type of deck (artifact super-aggro).

Looks pretty standard/awesome, I recommend +1  {Steelshaper's Gift} and dropping 1 {Thoughtcast}. I've found T cast to be underwhelming most of the time. Plating is the best card in the deck.

I understood that it's an affinity deck, and it sounds like infinity, but am I missing a movie reference or something?  It's really annoying be being confused.
It's a movie, if memory serves, but I don't remember which one...

I'd drop {galvanic blast} before I'd drop {thoughtcast}. Even though plating is great, you will usually just need more fuel to close out games, rather than just having a fifth copy of your best card.

Idk maybe I didn't do enough testing with thoughtcast but it was never that great for me. Either I was ahead/winning and the additional cards werent needed or I was behind and had to tap out to draw two cards because of a low artifact count.

Steelshaper's is best used when there is a sword or another equipment in sideboard. Pointless otherwise.

Why is {Cranial Plating} so busted? Did wizards just say hey let's give artifact decks the most over powered card in the world?

Well, equipment was first introduced in the Mirrodin block, I don't think Maro realized how powerful it would be or how strong Affinity was.
Cranial was a development idea, not design.
