Design philosophy: Maximize artifacts and synergy from them. Expensive threats
replaced with cheaper creatures that are not only good in early game, but also
scale and are capable of abusing the generated mana (Hangarback Walker, Walking
Ballista, Sai, Master Thopterist). Rest of the deck tries to support these
tactics with cheap artifacts and cards like Meekstone, Tangle Wire,
Opposition... Land mana base is kept mono blue to better maintain Back to
Basics compatibility, artifact mana is able to generate splashes for Engineered
Explosives.
