Ok guys... I'm not that much of a MTG n00b... I've been playing it for 3 years but I still lack.. .the fire or brain to make a good deck... I usually make them so my luck saves my butt, and I'm gonna have my first amateur tournament this friday, and I'm... well, scared
The guys I'm gonna face go from the typical dude who will be using a Begginer Deck or 2011 core set... to some REALLY cheap guys... so I wanna be cheap? Yeah.
My idea for my deck is combining both Artifacts and White Magic... the problem, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! I want to focus it arround my Darksteel Juggernaut using other artifacts to pump it up, the levelers to gain terrain until I can summon it, and the auras to make the Juggernaut more unstoppable than it would already be... the problem is: By the time I have the right cards, I barely have any Life left I have, tough, Decimator Web... when I've had luck that's the card that has made me win... I would use Caravan Scort to reduce the damage 1 point at low level and then at max level, 2 points, combined with Ghosts of the Innocent (all damage is halved) a 10 damage source would become a 3 damage one :). The Juggernaut + Echo Circlet + Accorder's Sheild = WIN
Yeah... I mean, that's my crappy deck, and I guess the reason is because I have so many cards I can't center the strategy on the Juggernaut correctly... I need SERIOUS help before friday or else I'm done for TAT... and nope, I won't be able to get any new cards for a while (I have a plethora more back home but they don't quite fit the strategy... I think...)
Quick clarification - is your friday tournament a Standard FNM tournament? If so, you've got to update to the newest standard environment. Zendikar block rotated out.
If it's just a casual tournament where anything goes, then you won't need to worry about that.

Nah... it's not Friday Night magic, if it was like that I wold be doomed already
It's a casual tournament held every 2 fridays in our local manga/anime store... and there are Decks, money and other thingies as prices so it's woth giving it a shot... I just need to see WHAT THE HECK fails me from my deck... it is a ghood deck whenever it wants to, I tried it against a Planeswalker deck (a friend's... and it was trough a deckbuilder program xD) and it worked out well... most of times -.- Others it just sucks and lets me down the first 3 rounds...
When I think of an artifact deck with white spells in it, the first thing that comes to mind is a Tempered Steeldeck. I would go for more of a creature heavy build in this deck (obviously artifact creatures:)), probably myr. You may also want to look into metalcraft.
I only really play limited, but I remember that in scars block, whenever someone was able to build around Tempered Steel, it was devastating.
Hm... sadly I couldn't find Tempered Steel anywhere nearby, and I used all the money I had on that "Trascendent Master" I ordered at the anime shop
-.-
But I got a Myr Generator, every turn I can put a 1/1 colorless Myr artifact creature, so that means every turn I would be able to add a 1/1 to my Juggernaut...
But, if you would use my deck for a battle... what would you remove from it? :/
Tempered Steel or not, I recommend cutting down on the variety of cards in the deck. Pick a small handful and run 3-4 copies of each one.
As you specify wanting to focus on Darksteel Juggernaut, do just that and run 4 of them. Upping your land count to 24 by adding 4 Ancient Den would enhance things, as might adding a playset of Signal Pest.

From there, your deck gets mana hungry, so perhaps Kor Cartographers and/or Wayfarer's Bauble/Wanderer's Twig, or dare I suggest Endless Horizons?
Solemn Simulacrum, Ichor Wellspring, Mycosynth Wellspring, and Spine of Ish Sah are useful artifacts, especially when alongside Glint Hawk or Krark-Clan Ironworks.
Go heavy enough into artifacts, and Scourglass is an ugly card.
Just some thoughts.
Cheers!
