Updated. Ran it tonight didn't lose once! Vault skirge is beastly an so worth the 2 life loss with the lifelink lol my new fav deck hands down
Thats great, just a question, why do you run more ornithoptrs than memnites?

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
Ohhhhhhhhhhh *Face Palms*

Lol yup! It's a super fast deck! Usually t4-t5 win

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.

Darksteel juggernaught is a no go

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 {Arcbound Ravager}?  I don't know how to process that.

I ran without them for a long time before u could afford them.  The deck works without them.....I will.say.

But they're so good!  Makes your opponents removal super hard to use effectively.

I agree.  I still need 1 more come to think of it lol.  But I don't really play affinity anymore myself.

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.
