I move away from the third color & lower the curve as much as possible. I have 16 1-cmc creatures (Stonecoil is my midgame threat too) & ALL are evasive (VS ~10 incl. non-evasive Bomat), and 4 Obsessions (VS Shrapnels).
What I like here is I don't sacrifice Bomat or anything to Shrapnel, I rather draw with Obsession and try to keep my threats alive.
The Sirens are the spiciest touch of my list, I like the idea nothing is easy to block unless I face Angels or Spirits, and Stormtamer can crew Copter and carry enchants, while Metallic Rebuke can't. Rebuke may be a nice split with Denial, I have to make some tests.
I was playing a version of this deck when the format just came out;
Shrapnel Blast is the real deal. Especially if you can rip 2. Such a fast clock.
Pia and Kiran were, fine? aswell, if not a bit slow.
All that glitters seems really all in; how's it been working out?
Yeah the deck struggles at getting the last damage through. Blast can really win games I can't with UW. With my version, I failed short VS midrange and their million removals, flying creatures.deck and a few decks that just kill faster than me (and sometimes gain life).
All that Glitters is nice, but it can be stronger in auras decks.
Shrapnel Blast is surely the way to go.

I noticed the few lists I found played Bomat Courier and Shrapnel Blast as their red spells. They also have Steel Overseer and Hangarback Walker to complete their artifact package.

Is Skilled Animator better than Tezzeret's Touch or is it only because of the mana cost ?
Or shall we think about the affinity builds with 4x Steel Overseer and the Drums?
