May go with this instead of the "Blights torn pact" deck I made. Seems fun and competitive

I don't even know if this is supposed to be named affinity actually since I'm only about a year on and off into the game 😁

Because they're flyers :) memnites are fine and dandy as 1/1 0 drops but I'd prefer a pumped up 0/2 0 drop flyer simply because it goes straight over them when equipped with cranial platings and pumped up with signal pest, master of etheriums, and steel overseers

I feel like you should be running {Darksteel Colossus} or {Blightsteel Colossus} with those tron lands. Maybe even {Darksteel Juggernaut}. Otherwise I'd suggest some {Glimmervoid} as you currently have 4 {island} and everything else is colorless.

It's basically the weakest Darksteel card there is. It has p/t equal to your artefacts, it takes up an entire turn when you'd rather be doing something else, it's flippin 5 mana In an aggro deck. If that doesn't explain it I don't know how to get it through to you

I'm just thinking with the tron lands he's going to have more mana then he knows what to do with. I see what you're saying, fair enough.

The reason I have the Tron lands is for some reason if I'm getting my butt kicked quickly I can trade in {Platinum Emperion} from side board also I switch this deck out with a Blue Tron deck list I have in which I run Emmy and Blightsteel. It's just a quick switch to throw off my meta in the area I play. They won't know whether or not I'm runnin my beefy Tron or quick affinity :)

No answers for Stony Silence in the 75 seems poor, as does the lack of manlands. Being able to threaten infect kills with {Inkmoth Nexus} is one of the strengths of the deck. The Tron package is adorable.

As adorable as it is it's what I do at my local cardshop and tournaments. No Grand Prix for me. And I do have arcbounds and have ordered the ink and blink lands so it'll be a little more adorable for you bud. Was runnin what I had on hand.
