[DECK] Quick Silver/Blue Steel

[Thor Hammer]

I wanted to make a competitive legacy deck that can get big game changing/ending artifact cards out asap. Thoughts? If there has already been a thread created for this type of deck I'd like to see it. Also, I don't know if I should name it Quick Silver or Blue Steel.

Does Chalice of the Void belong in this deck?

IDK. Just asking.

It could certainly be worked in. You just have to make sure that once you set it that you already have enough blue creatures out to cast a fat artifact.

The absence of blightsteel seems odd

Blightsteel has a CMC = 12. That's too much even for this deck, unless I run some Cloudposts and Glimmerposts, but then the strong manabase of this deck that I want to use almost exclusively for counterspells becomes less reliable in that regard.

I do think that taking out Elbrus, the Binding Blade and putting in a Steel Hellkite would be a good idea though. I just love the flavor of Elbrus and I've always wanted to put it in a deck, and I figured this one is as good as any.
