It also makes your battlesphere lethal when you forgemaster on their endstep and your turn.

I'll have more content on the deck posted up on quietspeculation later in the week.

yeah hellkite was a kind of catch all answer/sweeper. I didn't forgemaster for it once in Indy. I could see replacing it with duplicant main.

Cutting crucible to improve the consistency of the manabase makes no sense at all. Crucible adds consistency to the mana base.

Trinisphere is pretty terrible. I've already replaced it in the...

Sorry I mistook Razormane for Moltentail.

I'd still recommend the original it is far easier to actually cast.

I'll be there!

There are answers to nullrod, they just can't be red.

People keep missing this but unless you alter the manabase red answers to nullrod do not work. This is because all your red sources are artifacts.

The more non-artifacts you add to the deck the worse metalworker gets. If you are going to build a colored deck I'd move away from metalworker into some other strategy.

In my initial testing I ran 2x original masticore for quite some time. It was really good at dealing with the aggro decks and provided a nice discard outlet for welder. When I added greaves and top...

I would not recommend cutting voltaic key. It is one of the big reasons the deck is so fast, grim monolith becomes quite a bit worse without key.

Thanks man, you were a pleasure to play against and I was glad to see you finish well :)

Here is my second place report from Indy with a description of the deck and my card choices:

My tournament report and deck breakdown is now available.

Chalice turns the match in your favor against zoo. It blanks half of their deck.

All is dust not being an artifact actually mattered in my testing, it proved to be less than impressive.

The Combo hate in the board is important. You are fairly weak to them game one but...

I felt it was also win more. It is only good if you have metalworker.

I don't think the stax approach works very well in legacy.

I considered it but didn't test it seriously, let us know how it works for you.

Here is the deck I played to a second place finish in Indy this weekend. I know there is already a mud stompy thread but it sucks pretty hard so I figured I would start a new thread for this deck.
...

If you want more card draw I'd go to 4x top instead of 2x top. It has all the same synergy with welder and forgemaster you wanted and it is cheaper.

Please don't play terrible cards in my deck.

I attend them every once in a while :P

I'll be bringing a small group of people from Miami University.

repeal actually seems really good. It dodges thresholds curve with a CMC of 3 when bouncing counterbalance while also keeping the CMC of the deck lower so it doesn't bolt you like rushing river or...
