Manabase: pretty straightforward. {Ensoul Artifact} your {Darksteel Citadel}s and fetch basics if you're up against {Blood Moon}. Play your {Glimmervoid}s after you get an indestructible on the board if you can.


{Arcbound Ravager}: affinity staple for making your opponents removal worse and blocking hard. Being as this deck often gets 2 for 1'd this helps patch that weakness. It's too good of a card not to run.

{Memnite}: all about that turn one metal craft and {Cranial Plating} buff. Not a priority target for {Ensoul Artifact}.

{Ornithopter}: Pretty much the same as {Memnite} only it's preferable to {Ensoul Artifact} this as a 5/5 flying is never something to laugh at.

{Darksteel Myr}: an {Ensoul Artifact} target that's also nice to just play for {3} and block for days.

{Vault Skirge}: turn two 5/5 flying lifelink anyone? It is doable turn one but unlikely.

{Darksteel Axe}: great {Ensoul Artifact} target while providing an okay buff if I've got nothing better to do.

{Cranial Plating}: a card that needs no introduction.

{Mox Opal}: for the craziest turn one and twos.

{Welding Jar}: cause removal's a jerk.

{Ensoul Artifact}: the card this deck is built around. Turns almost anything in this deck into a must answer threat.

{Thoughtcast}: cause more cards is always better.

{Darksteel Relic}: help the turn one, save {Glimmervoid} and a great {Ensoul Artifact} target.

{Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas}: {Ensoul Artifact} on a Planeswalker body.

From the testing I've been trying this is a slower but way more resilient Affinity. {Path to Exile} is the bane of this deck's existence.

What combination of {Darksteel Myr}, {Darksteel Relic} and {Darksteel Axe} should I be running?

Anything I overlooked?

{etched champion} is ludicrously good

Actually he's not that great as he can't be {Ensoul Artifact}'d or {Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas}'d. That's what led me to cutting it. I might put one or two in the SB.

Bump for reference and others.

I run a deck quite similar to this but instead of the glimmervoid's I'm running Inkmoth nexus

I have lost a lot of games by colour screw. I've lost even more from going {Inkmoth Nexus}, getting it removed, and coming up short. I prefer {Glimmervoid} in this build.
