Does what it names ;)
Burn combined with some Affinity moves - or call it Artifactial Burn. You can also call it Mechanical Zoo^^
The reason is short:

Get the power of affinity and combine it with some burn spells.
Possible Card choices:


Mana:

Ancient Den - for W
Vault of Whispers - for B
Great Furnace - for R
Seat of the Synod - for U
Tree of Tales - for G
Glimmervoid - enables all colors with just 1 artifact
Mox Opal - all colors with 3 Artifacts
Mishra's Factory + Blinkmoth Nexus - artifact creatures, might be interesting!


Here we will pick of course Great Furnace (to support Burn!), Seat of the Synod (for Thoughtcast,Master of Etherium, Spell Pierce as Sideboard option) and i prefer as third color the B splash (Diciple of the Vault and Dark Confidant+Duress/Thoughtseize as Sideboardoption). Some might prefer the green Splash for Tamogoyfs or even white.
I personally think, that the UBR will be the best.

Possible Creatures:

Memnite - 0 mana for 1/1, great!
Ornithopter - 0 mana for 0/2 but evasion and heavy with plating!
Frogmit - 4 mana, mostly a freeplay but just 2/2
Myr Enforcer - 7 mana, will come not for free, will cost you mostly 3 mana, playable but not as fast as possible in mono brown
Arcbound Ravager - nothing else to say about it. Pumpin good

Disciple of the Vault - call him Ravager ping or let him make extra damage with shrapnel blasts.
Dark Condidant - more card = more pressure!

Master of Etherium - 3 mana for 4/4 or more? and you get the lord effect for free ;)

Best possible Spells:

Lightning Bolt -3 for 1? get it.
Galvanic Blast - 4 for 1? even better!
Shrapnel Blast - 5 for 2 - still ok ;D
Chain Lightning - not as good as the above
Fling - not necessary but thinkable, like chain lightning, we dont have the slots.
Thoughtcast - card draw is always nice!

Enchantments?

Standstill - might be thinkable because we're faster!

Other Artifacts:

Cranial Plating - 4 of course!

The first mainboard card choices are simple:
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Galvanic Blast
4 Shrapnel Blast

4 Cranial Plating

4 Memnite
4 Ornithopter
4 Arcbound Ravager
4 Master of Etherium
4 Disciple of the Vault
4 Dark Confidant

4 Mox Opal
4 Great Furnace
4 Seat of the Synod
4 Vault of Whispers
4 Glimmervoid

It feels great - fast, effective and hard to hate before the boarding!

After the boarding, we will see lots of hate, so we have to board in counter parts, to defend our bord position! Even our combo matchup sucks.

Because we're playing UB, we can think of:

U:
Force of Will
Spell Pierce

B:
Duress
Thoughtseize

All those cards will establish a more controlish part of the deck - easily.You might even think of boarding Challice of the Void, Red Elemental Blast and Leyline of the Void.

Great Artifact-Sideboard Cards:

Pithing Needle - stops Planeswalker, Equipments, Survival and every other nasty activated ability!
Tormod's Crypt - 0 mana artifacts are always great in this deck!
Relic of Progenitus - also playable and ok^^

Just imagine the possibilities and let's build it up!

I might say Frogmite or Myr Enforcer over Ravager at this point.

Needs moar disciple of the vault 'cause galvanic blast,disciple,shrapnel blast can cause some serious life loss. So in my opinion yes to ravager.

4 Lightning Bolt
4 Galvanic Blast
4 Shrapnel Blast
4 Thoughtcast


4 Cranial Plating

4 Memnite
4 Ornithopter
4 Arcbound Ravager
4 Master of Etherium
4 Disciple of the Vault

4 Mox Opal
4 Great Furnace
4 Seat of the Synod
4 Vault of Whispers
4 Glimmervoid



Tweak it a little to maybe incorporate 4 Bobs to draw even moar burn! Not sure what to cut though, maybe 4th Mox Opal and a couple of Ravager/0cc artifact. You need to conitnue drawing cards to put out pain. Without Enforcer and Frogmites, Bob seems too good to pass, let him eat an StP so your Master beats in, or not eat an StP and win!

he would cut thoughtcast^^
but do we really get statistically more than 2 cards with a bob?

The fact that bob is a creature is actually very relavent in this deck, excluding the number of cards in draws. I would main deck 4x Bob over 4th Ravager, 4th Master, and 3rd+4th Thoughtcast. I really like this list actually, it looks exactly like zoo except a turn faster, but quite a bit easier to hate out, and weaker to sweepers.

Any consideration for Fire/ice? It fits the theme of Burn + Card Drawing/tempo, especially in place of 4th Shrapnel, 3-4th MoE, and possibly 4th Memnite.
