It's been awhile since I posted on the forums. I took a 0.5 year break from MTG and now I'm back. I still dislike the official EDH committee/banlist etc so I revisited MTGS' EDH community, found the French/MTGS 1v1 banned list and gave it a nod over the 'official' rules/banlist.
Since Metalworker has been fairly unbanned in the MTGS banned list, I figured I work on an artifact deck immediately. People who know me would remember my Arcum Dagson Primer on MTGS. I have since left the deck as I continue to sink into depression as I witness the deck becoming more diluted in power (Tolarian Academy being banned). In all honesty, I fully believe that Academy should be included in any banlist since it is the focus strategy of many decks that seek to abuse mana easily. Giving that a future thought, I decided to just work on a list that has little risk of being unmolested by future banlists, and at the same time is fun to play competitively and casually, both 1v1 or in multiplayer games.
And thus began my journey for the artifact EDH deck, and as I shifted across the plane of Mirrodin, a silver golem scarred amongst the Scorched Ruins appeared before me.
So I said to Karn, "Karn you play EDH?"
and he replied, "Can you play EDH?"
Karn you play EDH? Y/N

- [c] are creature cards
- [g] cards are golem-themed
- Note this is a tier 1.5 Karn deck since it is built with both 1v1, multiplayer and casual considerations. But it can be tweaked to be tier 1 (take out a few cute golem-themed cards)
- Goals I want to achieve in this deck:
1) Prototype Portal/Mimic Vat: Sphere of Resistance/Lodestone Golem with Voltaic Key in play
2) Possessed Portal locking the game, and hopefully I have a temporal aperture out
3) Casting Emrakul off Temporal Aperture on turn 3
4) Grim Monolith/Basalt Monolith/Mana Vault + Voltaic Construct + Karn + Voltaic Construct = infinite mana, toss in Planar Portal + Karn and infinite mana = tutor your whole deck or with Magistrate's Scepter + Karn = take infinite turns.
5) 'Fact or Fiction' multiple times with Phyrexian Portal
6) Myr Incubator -> 50+ Myrs and cast Altar Golem or clamp them all!
7) Winter Orb + Tabernacle
8) Erratic Portal Emrakul/Kozilek every 1-2 turn, lol lol.
9) Ward of Bones casted off Scorched Ruins/Lotus Vale/Mishra's Workshop locking game at 2-3 lands.
10) Helm of Possession + Miren
11) Assembling the URZATRON!
12) Need to put up more achievements...
