So with the release of the new Brother's War set on the horizon, comes a few new potentially useful cards. Now it's just figuring out which ones are gonna fit in the deck well.
A few ideas have come to mind.
Liberator, Urza's Battlethopter is gonna be a sure-fire replacememt for
Shimmer Myr, downside is that its got less power, but it does everything
Shimmer Myr does and more.
Portal to Phyrexia is looking like an amazingly good card for controlling the board, wiping out three creatures from each opponent and then getting a pick of which ones to bring back. A bit pricey to cast, but honestly, shouldn't be casting it.
Slagstone Refinery is a great combo with Sharuum and a
clone, making infinite tapped Powerstones, the mana is limited as you can only cast artifact spells and activate abilities with it, but as it works with affinity I can overlook the downside. It makes
Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge a wincon, and
Time Sieve will give infinite turns at this point.
Smelting Vat from the Commander Precons is looking to be pretty good, even sacrificing a token has a chance of hitting artifact lands, so a bit of pseudo ramp, and it allows my to sacrifice my
clone artifacts to set up a combo win if I've had to use them earlier on to ramp/survive.
So far, this is everything that I've found that I'm looking forward to, now it's just figuring out what to take out to replace the cards with.
