Created: Sun Jul 10 19:37:51 UTC 2016 Design philosophly: Like Cheeri0s plays out: play 0-cost artifacts and creatures, net cards while doing so. Minimize land mana.

Alternative approach, with creatures only: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1746269#paper Legend: 1: part of the initial build (Created) +1: added/to be added to the build -1: removed/to be removed from the build ?1: maybe to be removed Mana (17): 1 City of Brass 1 Mana Confluence 1 Tendo Ice Bridge 1 Gemstone Mine 1 Glimmervoid 1 Gemstone Cavern 1 Tolarian Academy 1 Academy Ruins 1 Gaea's Cradle 1 Tropical Island 1 Tundra 1 Savannah 1 Underground Sea 1 Volcanic Island 1 Misty Rainforest 1 Flooded Strand 1 Polluted Delta 1 Scalding Tarn Some more mana (10): 1 Simian Spirit Guide 1 Elvish Spirit Guide 1 Mox Opal 1 Chrome Mox 1 Lion's Eye Diamond 1 Lotus Petal 1 Mox Diamond 1 Dark Ritual 1 Cabal Ritual 1 Land Grant 1 Songs of the Damned Engines (4): 1 Glimpse of Nature 1 Beck // Call 1 Puresteel Paladin +1 Sram, Senior Edificer Zero-equipments for Sram and Puresteel Paladin, and Paradoxical Outcome (7): 1 Accorder's Shield 1 Bone Saw 1 Kite Shield 1 Paradise Mantle 1 Sigil of Distinction 1 Spidersilk Net *+1 Cathar's Shield Free creatures, of which artifacts are (12/26): 1 Ornithopter 1 Phyrexian Walker 1 Shield Sphere 1 Memnite *1 Phyrexian Marauder 1 Shifting Wall 1 Hangarback Walker 1 Walking Ballista 1 Frogmite (in, if criticsl amount of artifacts is reached) 1 Myr Enforcer *1 Mycosynth Golem 1 Salvage Titan 1 Crimson Kobolds 1 Crookshank Kobolds 1 Kobolds of Kher Keep *1 Skyshroud Cutter 1 Endless One 1 Krosan Wayfarer 1 Tinder Wall 1 Wild Cantor 1 Blood Pet 1 Skirk Prospector 1 Myr Moonvessel 1 Blisterpod 1 Summoner's Pact (Skyshroud Cutter, Wild Cantor, Elvish Spirit Guide) 1 Postmortem Lunge (Ornithopter, etc.) Fillers.
