Created: Fri May 24 17:50:56 UTC 2011 Design philosophy: Unload hand of cheap artifact creatures, utilize a manabase with various colorless lands that come into play untapped. Stretch the deck to be as colorless as possible. While pressuring, deny mana. Use cards that benefit from saturated amount of artifacts. Empty hand fast, refill it with draw-7 spells.
