My first attempt at an artifact deck in vintage.
Intended for casual, yet semi-competitive play in vintage format.
(Legacy format without the card Mishra's Workshop)
It is semi budget because of Mishra's Workshop.
Strategy and combos below decklist.
The Strategy: Stall (with Tangle Wire or cheap blockers) until you get one of these combos out and overwhelm opponent:
Infinite Mana Combo: Rings of Brighthearth and Basalt Monolith --> Tap Monolith for 3 mana, untap itself with that mana, pay 2 mana of your own from lands to replicate untap, then tap twice for 6 mana, use 5 to untap twice, tap for 6, etc, etc.
Infinite Creatures/Direct Damage: Pair infinite mana combo with Doubling Season and Pentavus to get infinite tokens --> Pay mana to move a +1/+1 counter onto battlefield. Because of doubling season, there are two tokens, move the two tokens back onto pentavus creating 4 +1/+1 counters, etc, etc... You can also use Bioshift to move infinite counters from Pentavus to Triskelavus, create a ton of tokens and sacrifice for infinite damage.
Infinite Power/Toughness Clockwork Dragon: Use infinite mana combo to give him infinite +1/+1 counters. Kind of obvious...
Metalworker & Staff of Domination, but I would ask for this to be moved to casual or repost in casual - I think you will get more help/suggestions. Cut the Glasses.
It's certainly capable of doing some fun things, but it cannot disrupt another Vintage deck, it cannot race a Vintage deck and is all likelyhood Budget on top of it all - thus no suggestions to add Moxen or Lotus.

Also... Infinite mana helps with summoning Draco and Darksteel Colossus.
ANY SUGGESTIONS? I am looking for ways to make it faster/or stronger/or with more combos.
