Design philosphy: Try to get curve and land count as low as possible.  Exploit
fast, colorless land - and artifact mana to deploy the artifacts. (and dark
ritual). Edit: am I sure about this, since this is not artifact based
permanent and would later be an awful draw.
Edit: then again, I can filter them out by deck's mechanics. Let's see if I
need desperately more fast mana... Edit: I can use eggs and Monolith --> are
artifacts.
Prefer discard over counters, prefer no creatures to blank their removals, prefer permanent
based (is:permanent) answers to creatures instead of one-time wraths, prefer narrow type
permanents (saturate with artifacts) over multiple different types in order to
keep opponents' answer density to break the lock low.
Since the deck is well explored in Modern card space (legal:modern = 10000+ cards), double
check with "not legal:modern" what else there is (Scroll Rack, Unexpectedly
Absent, Hymn to Tourach)

Consider: I can add the eggs from academy for added consistency (eats tempo
though, and I have no addded tactics for them, e.g. Second Sunrise)

Consider: Pox, Smallpox, Sinkhole

Todo: Investigate if UW shell is enough. Edit: not. Try UB.
