Tricky Treasure - Deckstats Challenge: Artifacts, Standard (Standard)

Sacrifice treasure / other artifacts to trigger Marionette Master. Use instant speed pump spell on MM while artifact gy triggers are on the stack. Looking for T6 kill, maybe 5 if small creatures do a few points of damage.

Land Marionette Master and use the fabricate 3 etb trigger to make the MM a 4/6. Sac 2 treasures to make 2 red mana, while the artifact death triggers from Marionette Master are on the stack, pump MM with Invigorated Rampage using 2 of the floated mana. Pump resolves to 8 power, crack another treasure in response - triggers resolve for 24 lifeloss. So, how do we set this up?

Treasure Map is the quickest way to both get the necessary treasures as well as digging through the deck to find the combo pieces. My 2 drop creatures not only buy time against aggressive creature decks, they all help make treasure or draw cards. Dire fleet hoarder's 2 power can make very early attacks unprofitable, or unopposed it can whittle down life total for a 2-treasure kill at 16 lifeloss. Gleaming Barrier bricks a lot of attacks and I want both it and the hoarder to die blocking (casting invigorated rampage on the barrier to take out a steel leaf champion is fun). The vampire did its work on etb with the card draw.

Yahenni is there to get that early damage, and with the removal in the deck, they can grow to be a bigger threat. Sacrificing a treasure producer is not such a big cost for the indestructible effect. Yahenni can also be used to sac a creature you target with supernatural stamina to repeat a needed etb effect, or if another treaure is needed by saccing it again. I've cast marionette master and created 3 servos, supernatural stamina on MM, sacced MM to yahenni, MM comes back tapped and pick 3x +1/+1 counters, then sac the 3 servos to yahenni for 12 lifeloss from MM.

Removal package is fairly 'Standard' in a mostly black deck. I considered unlicensed disintegration but it was troublesome to cast this turn 3 instead of scrying with treasure map. Cut/Ribbons while sorcery speed provides a little more direct damage with the aftermath half.

I've played over a hundred rounds with versions of this deck; this is higher budget only in an additional Karn and Ballista (instead of a 4th hoarder and 4th wall, or 2x cast down to save $40+ bucks in budget). I played a $25 version of this in grixis and it held up.

I dont think a sideboard was required, but I made one from habit. Sideboards are very dependant on personal metagame.
