{hurklys recall} can be much more devastating......but you can't not build a deck because of a couple hoser cards.

*and yes I totally used a double negative in that statement......but I had to not not make my point 😜

Yeah..those artifact lands help you a whole lot...but they can also hurt you because they count as artifacts.

Ok these are the cards I am going to point out for re-consideration:
3 {Vedalken Archmage} cool but to slow
2 {Etherium Sculptor} don't need it if artis already low CMC
1 {Lotus Petal} dead draw, only helps if it is opening hand
1 {Mirrorworks} too slow and too high CMC w/out sculptor out
1 {Ponder} ok if you don't have more {brainstorm}
2 {Voltaic Key} this is a control oriented card that is more reactive and not too useful in an Aggro arti deck IMHO
2 {Howling Mine} yes card drawing is nice but your opponent benefits from your wasted mana on T2 for the mine.....
1 {Welding Jar} I can see it being useful at times but you could fill this spot with something to hurt your opponent more.....chances are if you need this then you are in a losing game anyway


Now I would recommend 4 of {thoughtcast}....epic affinity card...get 1 more.
3-4 {mishras factory} will give you 20-21 lands which helps cast your 4 CMC Tezzeret and the factory is so helpful as a sleeper creature, it avoids {wrath of god}, can help attack of course, and he is a 3/3 blocker by himself since you assign him to block then tap him to give him +1/1.

{springleaf drum} can be useful early game to reach affinity maximum on T0 by helping turn a {ornithopter} into another mana....Example: play arti land, cast signal pest, play ornithopter, cast drum, tap ornithopter to cast thoughtcast...all on T0

{vault skirge} flying 1/1 lifelink for 1 mana and 2 life......give him cranial plating or use Tezzeret -2 to make a 5/5 flyer lifelink...nuff said

I like {master of etherium} in SB to swap out {etched champion} in case opponent has artifact or land creatures to block the champion

I would love the mishras land, but they like to be expensive as hell and hard as hell to get my hands on them.

Dude the Legends version are expensive.  I got a playset of duel deck version from eBay for $12.

Coffee Vampire
