To everybody concerned about
Metalwork Colossus - yes, I'm aware that it will cost the full amount. It's synergy with
refurbish and being able to sac two artifacts to get it in your hand is what interests me. You can either get it on the field or you can punish the opponent via
Pia's Revolution. You go through so many cards with Cathartic and
Fateful Showdown that you will find one or two
Refurbish to play. During playtesting I've found it works about 2 games out of 3.
Concerns: not enough removal, protection of big creatures from board wipes.
additional synergies:
Hope of Ghirapur, swing in and then sac it to prevent the opponent from casting non creature spells next turn. Can work well with
Pia's Revolution to bounce back into your hand.
Demolition Stomper: takes 6 off Metalwork, can be crewed easily and then
Fling at opponent
