Smokin' Titans aka 5c Staxx

[schorchi]

Hi there,
I try to use Grim Monolith and Voltaic Key to generate much mana an cast artifacts fast.
Chalice of the Void has to go for Goblin Welder. So I also play Metalworker (of course) Lightning Greaves are very useful, but take a look:

Main:
4 Goblin Welder
4 Metalworker
4 Grim Monolith
4 Smokestack
4 Tangle Wire
4 Thirst for Knowledge

3 Lightning Greeves
3 Voltaic Key
3 Trinisphere
3 Crucible of Worlds

3 Sundering Titan
1 Bosh, Iron Golem
/40

Lands:
4 Wasteland
4 City of Brass
4 Ancient Tomb
3 City of Traitors
3 Gemstone Mine
1 Academy Ruins
1 Miren, the Moaning Well
/20
//60

Side:
4 Ethersworn Canonist

3 Krosan Grip
3 Extirpate

2 Triskelion
2 Duplicant
1 Platinum Angel
//15

You can do crazy things with this deck, but I took a mulligan quiet often.
What do you think?

Have you tested this even a little? You have so few colored mana sources that you will not be able to cast any of those spells. There is a really good reason Stax decks are always one color.

Do some research. Try out some of the existing Stax designs and take advantage of the experience of others. Then decide if you still wish to pursue this deck.

Seems loosely based on the 5c stax decks from Vintage. Difference being, in vintage you have lotus and moxen to help with colors.

Up the color fixers, and I think it'll probably work fine.

This reminds me some kind of the Teen Titans-deck a time ago (the old Extended, around GP Eindhoven 2005). Maybe you should play it more in this direction, with more Discard (Thoughtseize, Careful Study, ...) more Fat (Inkwell Leviathan, Platinum Angel, ...) and more Reanimation (Reanimate, Exhume, ...) and even Entomb, Force of Will, ...? But, it might be that this would just end up into a bad Reanimator-deck, I don´t know for sure. At least it would have nothing to do with Stax anymore^^. Just my 0.02
