Artifact Deck At Work

[Darklineage]

Hello everybody. This artifact deck is still in production and I have not yet put it together. This will be a change from my usual deck and I would like to know if it could be any better. Also I would like to know if it would stand in a tournament. Just to let you know it is type 2 and I know people that have been playing magic have seen this deck many times. This is just my version.

4x Ancient Den
4x Vault of Whispers
4x Seat of Synod
4x Glimmer Void

4x Ornithoper
4x Myr Enforcer
4x Frogmite
4x Disciple of the Vault

4x Thought Cast
4x Pyrite Spellbomb
4x Cranial Plating
4x Condesend

Sideboard

3x Shrapnel Blast
3x Serum Visions
3x Overide
3x Cloudpost
3x Mana Leak

Thats basicly the jist of it and you can clearly see the strategy with ornithoper and plating. I have hopes for this deck so please lend me your opinion. Thnks a lot.

-2 Glimmervoid (bad turn 1 land, too much artifact hate out there, they rock turn 3/4 though)
-4 Ancient Den (not exactly sure why this was here, lack of other artifact lands maybe?)
-1 Vault of Whispers

+3 Great Furnace
+3 Darksteel Citadel (indestructable = good)
+3 Blinkmoth Nexus (this is the "omfg, I kick much ass" land, way too useful to leave out)

+4 Arcbound Ravager/Atog (sac machine)
+4 Arcbound Worker (chump blocker, adds counters to Ornithopter)

consider replacing Enforcers for Retrivers as well.

-4 Pyrite Spellbomb
-4 Condescend (normally you won't be playing with enough mana for this to be worthwhile as you are going for the turn 4-6 win)

+4 Chromatic Sphere (mana smoothing, cycling)
+4 Shrapnel Blast (some say you don't need it, but I think it is essential to have at least 3)
Consider finding room for some Aether Vial, they add excellent speed and are a cheap drop (use either 4 or none).

SB:

Use for additional removal/artifact hate

Terror, Electr******* Bolt, and Shatter are all good ideas.

Hope this was helpful.

What you said about blinkmouth is true. I completely zoned out with that part. Ravager was in the original plans but it was at the peak of it's hype and was selling for about 25$$. I just didn't want to pay that much for it. So I replaced it with other cards. Your right about shrapnel blasts. Thanks for your assistance in helping me with this deck.

NP. Atogs are a good, reasonably cheap, alternative. With the added bonus of it still being good to keep a couple decked after you get your Ravagers. Good luck.
