    Sen Triplets - I want to play dumb artifacts.dec

    Alright, here's the deal - I'm bored with Azami, but I like doing broken stuff. I don't want to paint a target on my head, but I like playing Broken Artifact Mana into overpowered spells. I'm fine with being blown out by Austere Command (in theory). Here's a preliminary list:

    Sanctum Gargoyle
    Sharding Sphinx
    Sharuum the Hegemon
    Skill Borrower
    Sphinx Summoner
    Thopter Foundry
    Tidehollow Sculler
    Time Sieve
    Unbender Tine
    Copy Artifact
    Disciple of the Vault

    Sword of the Meek
    Mana Severance
    Goblin Charbelcher
    Demonic Tutor
    Vampiric Tutor
    Darksteel Forge
    Mana Drain
    Force of Will
    Rewind
    Duplicant
    Crucible of Worlds
    Memory Jar
    Cloud Key
    Helm of Awakening
    Thousand Year Elixir
    Exploration Map
    Voltaic Key

    Azorious Signet
    Chrome Mox
    Coalition Relic
    Darksteel Ingot
    Dimir Signet
    Fellwar Stone
    Gilded Lotus
    Grim Monolith
    Krark-Clan Ironworks
    Lotus Petal
    Mana Crypt
    Mana Vault
    Mind Stone
    Obelisk of Esper
    Pentad Prism
    Prismatic Lens
    Sol Ring
    Talisman of Dominance
    Talisman of Progress
    Thran Dynamo

    Ancient Den
    Darksteel Citadel
    Seat of the Synod
    Vault of Whispers
    Tundra
    Underground Sea
    Crystal Vein
    Petrified Field
    Scorched Ruins
    Academy Ruins
    Tolaria West
    Tolarian Academy
    Minamo, School at Water's Edge
    Godless Shrine
    Hallowed Fountain
    Watery Grave
    Island
    Island
    Island
    Island
    Plains
    Swamp
    Mishra's Workshop
    Volrath's Stronghold
    Ancient Tomb
    Mishra's Factory
    Deserted Temple
    City of Traitors

    Any glaring omissions? Any obvious mistakes? Remember, this one isn't supposed to be Über-brokken, just fun-broken.

    Mycosynth Lattice is fun in Sen Triplets. Not really broken, but fun.

    Re: Sen Triplets - I want to play dumb artifacts.dec

    Fatestitcher (I'm going to put this in Oona too, don't know why I hadn't had it)
    Rings Of The Brighthearth
    Staff Of Dominance
    Darksteel Forge (Isn't this a must for you?)
    Power Artifact

    No Demonic or Vamp?

    And seriously? You were just talking about how you wanted to play Yawg Will and it's not in THIS list?

    I do want to play Yawg Will, but it's terrible in this deck, since all the mana costs are so prohibitive. The best I could muster would involve saccing a shitton of stuff to KCI in response to Will, and hoping for no counter. With that on the stack vs. most non-blue, there'd be scoops across the board anyway. Like I said, I think this is more in the fun realm than the broken.

    On cards -

    Fatestitcher is good, but I put the Unbender Tine in that slot since it's an artifact. In Azami he's nuts because haste and Wizard, but I think I like the Tine better here.

    Rings, Staff, and Power Artifact are all nice, but I don't know on them. Of them all, I think Rings is the most likely to see its way in.

    Forge is nuts. I forgot it.

    Lattice costs a million mana, and I wouldn't want to play it unless I was running Mycosinth Golem, too. Which I would consider anyway.

    Duplicant should probably make its way in. So should Platinum Angel, and probably Solemn Simulacrum, too.

    D tutor and Vamp are nice, and they may find their way in - honestly they aren't even what I'm looking for. I know that seems stupid. If I do add them, it would be for Bstorm and Ponder (counterintuitive, but again - I'm not focused on going broken, just playing dumb fun artifacts).

    Yawg Will is good even if you're not doing really broken stuff with it. It can get you back into the game after an artifact sweeper resolves.

    Also I forgot about Beacon Of Unrest.

    Darksteel Forge is so good that it's now become Plan A.

    I messed up the manabase badly when I ran through it the first time. I've updated the list to make some changes.

    This is a lot like a Mono U Barrin list I have been working on for the past couple of weeks.

    I'm a big fan of Extraplanar Lens. Not sure if it will be so useful in your deck as you are running three colors and far fewer Islands than I do.

    Rhystic Study is pretty bomb, so is Mind's Eye.

    What are your thoughts on Etherium Sculptor? I have yet to try it, just looked like it didn't do enough. I guess coupled with Cloud Key it could be good.

    Mycosynth Golem is hot hot hot.

    There are only four Islands in the deck, which means Lens is bad. Rystic Study is good, but much better when you run more "No's." Also, I'm running Sen Triplets as the General, so it's a strange interaction.

    Etherium Sculptor is awesome. There are only 4 non-artifact permanents, and 17 total non-artifact spells.

    Arcuum Dagsson and Lightning Greaves.

    I really like Arcbound Reclaimer and Scarecrone. It's really absurd when they play Wrath of God, you put Scarecrone on top of your library with Academy Ruins and start bringing your whole board back.

    Re: Sen Triplets - I want to play dumb artifacts.dec

    Nevinyrral's Disk (for panic button and post-darksteel forge silliness)
    Strip Mine
    Proteus Staff (general removal)

    Maybe Mycosynth Golem? Myr Incubator if you feel like taking a huge risk?

    Cut Chrome Mox because it's non-artifacts to imprint

    Re: Sen Triplets - I want to play dumb artifacts.dec

    Nevinyrral's Disk?
    Inkwell Leviathan?
    Sphinx Summoner?
    Where is Sundering Titan?

    Tawnos's Coffin can combo with Sundering Titan/Sharuum/Magister Sphinx and temporary lock out one general.
