[Deck] Painter-Stone

[keys]

Is anyone else liking Transmute Artifact much better than Trinket Mage?

Pros:
-can actually get both combo pieces
-costs at least 1 less to get Grindstone into play with it, costs less to get Crypt, costs less to get LED, costs less to get Top, etc etc


Cons:
-UU cost means you can't play it turn 2 if you led with a sol land or with Furnace + Welder and have no active Opal
-Needs an artifact to sacrifice (this has definitely not been an issue with this deck:)
-Does not produce a Grizzly Bear

I just personally liked it better in testing and thought I'd share.

I like that you can also use it as a psuedo entomb with something like Wurmcoil or Sundering Titan as well. It's definitely more awkward to cast than Trinket Mage or Fabricate, however.

Another option is Tezzeret 1.0. Anybody tried this? He's tutor and an alternate win con all in one.
