Excerpt from: The 10 Greatest Boogeymen from MTG History by Brian Demars

Technophobia (Fear of Machines), 2003

It’s safe to say that Urza Block had some bah-roken cards in it.

The Top 8 of Pro Tour New Orleans 2003 was seven Tinker Decks and a Psychatog player who was adept at dodging Tinker opponents in the Swiss rounds.

Extended Tinker is one of the most ridiculous MTG decks I’ve ever seen. I played Tinker in Extended before the release of Mirrodin, and it was a great deck, but after Mirrodin it became a house of horrors.

Not only did the deck gain several huge Tinker targets, it also gained artifact lands which could be Tinkered away or used as fuel for Goblin Welder. It also gained Thirst For Knowledge as a way to always stay gassed up.

Is this mana base good for an Extended deck?

City of Traitors, Ancient Tomb, Seat of the Synod, Great Furnace

Yikes.

It’s worth noting that Mirrodin’s Tinker effect expanded well beyond Extended. In Vintage, Control Slaver won the Vintage Championship in the hands of Mark Biller amid a sea of Trinistax decks and remained (in my opinion) the best deck in Vintage until the Time Vault errata heralded the rise of the Tezzeret Era.
