Holy Grail 82 cards, 16 sideboard 11 {Plains} 11 {Island} 22 lands 4 {Peace Strider} 4 creatures 4 {Venser, the Sojourner} 4 {Chalice of Life} 4 {Elixir of Immortality} 4 {Golem's Heart} 4 {Pristine Talisman} 4 {Manalith} 4 {Warden of the Wall} 4 {Mirrorworks} 4 {Unwinding Clock} 4 {Golem Foundry} 40 other spells Sideboard 4 {Contagion Clasp} 4 {Contagion Engine} 4 {Golden Urn} 4 {Norn's Annex} 16 sideboard cards

Here's a fun deck that my housemate and I are putting together.
There are a few cards I don't yet have (the 4 vensers, and I only have 1 Mirrorworks)
I've been play testing it in cockatrice and it's surprisingly good.

If you can use venser to bounce stuff while you have a mirror works out things start to get crazy, then add the unwinding clock to the combo and you end up with a ton of artifacts to tap for life or death on each turn. I added the contagion guys for some off turn proliferate too, which makes things even crazier. Lol

The biggest threat I've found (other than really fast decks) is infect, as I have very few blockers till late game. :/

You have blue and white add in control cards like {mana leak} and {day o judgement } or {oblivion ring}

Or add black and get tezzeret and get creature destruction like doom blade and go for the throat

Yeah I thought about colored spells, but I thought it takes away from the rest of the decks main ideas. {norn's annex} might slow down a few attacks, but if they have heavy hitters they should do enough per hit not to wory about the 2 life loss. :/
Any other artifact suggestions?

Haha I was thinking about making a deck just like this! Was having trouble figuring out a good way to survive if Chalice got surgically extracted, and you guys did an awesome job.

I run a mono white chalice with Gideon, swords, Batterskull, doomed traveler and gain life spells. Also with With white you can clear the board with Day of Judgement easily.

I might try and refocus with this, possibly dropping my creatures.
