Replaced Fervent Champion with Esper Sentinel.
My playing opportunities have all but evaporated the last couple of years.
No more FNMs or gamenights recently. ( btw started playing right before release of Stronghold - Tempest Block )
My...
This line got me thinking.
I already confirmed your point that I was regarding Puresteel more as a combo engine.
But ... if you think of Puresteel NOT as a combo engine, and it is quite OK if you...
Why not add Simian Spirit Guide ?
T1 Champion, Outfitter, Reyav or Sram or
T2 Valduk
What's not to like ?
SSG also helps out with great opening hands with just 1 land and can also help out as...
The roots of this deck go back to a Living Weapons deck I posted in '21.

Despite the obvious synergy with Stone Haven...
Sorry, it took me so long to reply FTW.
I'll get back to this thread tomorrow but want to reply just quickly to the above points.
In above example, with an Outfitter in play it even becomes a 5/3...
It seems to me that Daru Warchief would be a no-no with Delney as he pushes most creatures' power up to 3 and thus eliminates the doubling effect. No?
Goblin Tomb Raider seems worth trying out in this deck.

Not sure about any cards yet except for Aisha and Burning Wish and a wishboard with a number of high cost powerful sorceries.
It will be fun designing something for her though.
Any help or...
Building a deck around Aisha seems challenging because there are so many great Sorceries to sort out.
Sorceries have arguably the strongest effects in the game to compensate for the fact that they...
Aisha of Sparks and Smoke
Aisha still seems to hide under the radar but this card is just waiting to be abused.
She just needs to deal damage ( NOT necessarily to your opponent ) to trigger her...
Changes made so far.
The cards that underperform :
Stoneforge Mystic
As fun as it may be to be able to get a Kaldra Compleat in play sometimes, spending two mana to go fetch a 1CC Equipment...
I figured since I get to 3 artifacts no later than T2 and often T1, Dispatches were preferable over StP.
Using Prismatic Ending instead opens up your possible targets but what about let's say a T1...
Points all taken to heart.
The reason I omitted Sai is because of the Danger of him just getting into GY after Emry entering BF.
To somehow solve that, I'd have to play multiples. Possible.

I'm aware the Servitor is not a Tier 1 creature but in my (limited) experience he seems to hold up.

It's a possibility but it overlaps very much with Animation Module, I think
and AM has the advantage that it can be tutored up, has no sac restriction and can use up all your mana every turn.

This deck plays surprisingly fluent.
It has multiple win avenues and has plenty of answers.
Unsure about the Dispatches w Emry, but what else ?
SB WIP.

Nice surprise play with SFM possible when you have a Kaldra or Batterskull in hand.
Play SFM for a Sai or Shuko, like SFM poses no real threat of bringing something really dangerous into play, then...
Doing some draws atm and just wanted to mention this great 1-land hand I kept :
T1 - Ancient Den - Sai - Mox - Sentinel
T2 - SFM for Kaldra
Paradise Mantle instead of one mox ?
I like Batterskull over Shadowspear here. Cheaper and needs no other creature.
You're correct about Bitterthorn. I figured it could thin the deck but the 3CC cost is an obstacle.
Adding Paladin left just a few red cards in the deck, neither of them vital.
Mono white looks more potent.

You make very solid points regarding the Paladin, FTW.
Your input is very much appreciated.
I think I'll give the Paladin a shot.
Let me digest this a bit ;)
I don't view her as a bottleneck. If she gets removed, so be it, you can get a draw for it and there are other good creatures to pick up the Equipment.
It's not like the deck can't function without...
At the heart of this deck is Stone Haven Outfitter.
A creature that has not one but two abilities that can be key to winning games in Magic.
It's also a T2 drop with an OK body and only one white...
