This is a casual deck, and so it isn't combo Sharuum, more like mid-range beatdown Sharuum. There is, of course, the Sharuum + Sculpting Steel + Disciple of the Vault combo, as a panic button. It isn't the main intent of the deck, just an alternate win con. I just like to swing with dudes into your face.
"I will flay the skin from your flesh and the flesh from your bones and scrape your bones dry. And still you will not have suffered enough." -Greven il-Vec, to Gerrard
A fun trick I always like to point out for Sharuum decks is using Tunnel Vision on yourself targeting Open the Vaults it takes 2 turns to execute the combo but it usually results in half of your deck in play
Ohhh and Sculpting Steel is one of the most basic artifacts for a Sharuum deck. Using it you can recieve infinite coming into play / leaving play artifact triggers which work well with both Disciple of the Vault and Arcbound Crusher. All you have to do with the steel is play it with your general on the board. Target your general with it. It will hit play as a copy of your general and trigger the rez an artifact as well as kill itself and your general off at the same time. With the rez thats still on the stack you then rez your general. Your general hits play and gets a rez, he uses it to rez the sculpting steel which comes into play as a copy of your general again. The general's ability on sculpting steel kicks in again and they both die. and welll... you see where im going with this right?

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
You're more than welcome to check out my decklist for ideas. (Follow the link in my sig). It's casual, budget, 1vs1, so there are many similar aspects.

Bitter Ordeal and Extractor Demon also go with the Sculpting Steel combo. I like them also because the Demon is just a good beater, and even without comboing you can nullify your opponent's key cards/combo pieces with Ordeal.

Once he's in the graveyard I can create my copy with the Vat, bringing the real one back from the graveyard into play. I'll probably need a Voltaic Key/Infinite mana combo to keep tapping and untapping the Vat though. It could be difficult to pull off, but if I did it would be amazing!
@chadmart...just use sculpting steel...
also you do know you can choose to put your general in the grave when it dies?
Of course... but the situation I was considering was exiling him to imprint on the Portal or Vat... then to bring it back from exile I would have to use Pull from Eternity.
As for Sculpting Steel... that would be good, but I don't have one. Yet. I will eventually though.
Also, I want to take out Mind's Eye. Any suggestions on what to replace it with?
EDIT: Will change some more once I get Besieged stuff.

master transmuter is amazing. "Here let me return a sol ring for a sphinx of the steel wind!"
Also I would suggest magister sphinx. It's good in 1v1 and against life gain decks. Otherwise it just make everyone hate you

I'd recommend Glassdust Hulk and Sculpting Steel to be added if you would like a way to combo out for the win.
Fact and Fiction / Careful Consideration / Thirst for Knowlede have been good card draw for me since you want stuff to go into your graveyard for Sharuum to dig up anyways.
Hope this helps.
