My earliest tournament days were in Mirrodin, when I easily cracked tournaments with Affinity brews. Since then, I've been fascinated with artifact decks. This is my current version of Blue Artifacts: aggression with a side of combo.
We've got the aggression turned way up with Ensoul Artifact, which works great with Vault Skirge, Frogmite, or Pili-Pala. Wait a minute, why do we have the latter jabroni in this deck?
Pili-Pala + Grand Architect = Infinite mana!! This makes Increasing Confusion a solid Plan B if we find our way into aggro parity. Thoughtcast helps us put this ensemble together. If nothing else, that card draw will replenish our aggro heartily.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. What do you think?
This evolution of the Mono-U Vedalken aggro shell is neat. Do you think Myr Superion wants a spot in the deck? Also you have Darksteel Reactor listed in your lands with no mention of its abilities in your summary. Did you mean to tag Darksteel Citadel?
Myr Superion would take me down the rabbit hole of Vedalken Engineer. I've avoided it until now, but it could be worth exploring. Colored artifacts are back on the table, as are many artifacts with activated abilities.
You're so right about Darksteel Reactor! I didn't notice when I posted the list. Waxing nostalgic about my Mirrodin days must have made me remember the Reactor + Dismantle deck I played. I've fixed it in the OP.
On with the list!
