As with many other Commander players, I was disappointed to find there would be no UR artifact-themed legend in Aether Revolt. I even built the from of a UR artifact deck in anticipation. But do you know what's red and artifact-themed that did come out in Aether Revolt? Indomitable Creativity. When played well, Creativity is like a Genesis Wave in red, and I love that. I took that frame of a UR artifact deck, gutted the blue out of it, threw in white because Boros decks are my favorite, pulled out my copy of Jor Kadeen, the Prevailer, went through my spare cards for anything that works well with Indomitable Creativity or Jor Kadeen (or both), put it all together, cut it down and that's the list you'll see here.
Usually my lists are pretty well-tailored by the time I make a threads for them here but this one's pretty raw so I can playtest it this weekend and I've got a proxy standing in for Indomitable Creativity at the moment. I'll make adjustments to the deck as I find cards suited well for it.
You might notice my land count is relatively low. I usually like to groove with 38 or more lands, but I dropped the count to just 34 for this build because I intend to jam as many inexpensive mana rocks as possible. I'm missing a few very worthwhile ones (like Boros Signet), but they'll come in time.
Soulblast is a very niche card that I always fantasize about completely blowing somebody out with. This deck should be one of the best decks to take advantage of it. If Jor Kadeen's out and Metalcraft's online, everything gets +3/+0, and that makes Soulblast way better.
Thanks for the input! Yeah, I'll definitely be moving those sorts of cards in as I find them. Angel of Invention just works too perfectly in the deck - she makes tokens, which happen to be artifacts counting toward Metalcraft, and buffs the team. I'll be prioritizing the ETB trigger token makers though to take full advantage of Panharmonicon.
