MTG Salvation

Ive got a Ramos, Dragon Engine deck that runs all of the signets from Ravnica as well as a couple other artifact accelerants.


Problem is these are pretty bad draws in the late game, anyone have any ideas on cards that can repeatably sac artifacts or permanants for value? Ramos is all 5 so color isnt an issue.

It's kind of on the nose, but have you considered replacing them with the clue stones? They're 1 cmc higher across the board but you can at least ditch them to draw a card if need be.

Barrin, Master Wizard and Claws of Gix give you an effect for sacrificing any permanent while Slobad and Bosh give you a repeatable artifact sac outlet.


Throne of Geth could be useful if you're planning to sacrifice a lot of artifacts over the course of the game and Trading Post can be a swiss army knife.

Krark-Clan Ironworks will do it, although not sure how much use you can make of colorless mana.
The above recommendations are good. Teading Post will turn them into cards. Phyrexia's Core, I guess. Infernal Tribute and Reprocess are decent too.

Trading Post is probably my first choice when it comes to a versatile, useful, and fairly inconspicuous value engine for artifact decks. Definitely give it a test run... I'm sure you will not be disappointed!!

Yeah, it definitely is a 'swiss-army knife' card. I use it a ton.

Feel pretty silly for forgetting about the cluestones. But I think Trading Post or Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer are pretty much what I was looking for.

Just remember, Trading Post is once per turn unless you can untap it. I guess if its just for the signets you won't need it to pull major weight.
