This does not belong here.
Wizards and any affiliated companies, organizations, stores etc need to stay out of politics. What one gamer does is not the business of a franchise and their product has nothing to do with the behavior of single people.
Wizards getting involved, this website getting involved and others continuously commenting on this and getting involved is what is destroying not just this society but even the American one with the larger more political events.
There will always be sexism and racism what people need to do is stop being hyper sensitive and stop coddling wounds and focusing on the predators. Christine Sprankle lost when she stepped out of the community. Rather than just stick up for herself publicly or take it to court and use out judicial process available she simply gave up and whined about it.
This is a far deeper issue in not just this community but society. She expects us to do things for her, defend her, and react to her "sorrow"
This is the problem. People need to learn to grow a thick skin and defend themselves appropriately.
And wizards apologizing for things like the garruk and lili art coddles this childish behavior.
We cant even have our FU**ing game bc people are too sensitive. The hyper sensitivity and need to coddle those with these ideals seeps not only inot our game but into star wars and now marvel comics with their female iron man and captain america.
Its frustrating to see these companies getting involved in these ideals rather than staying true to their fans and the game/story.
This is the same for this website. We dont care about opinions anymore. State your opinions ONCE and move on. STOP lingering on emotions and the same thing and move on. Jeremy is so guilty of this i mean his videos are 20 minutes long because he rattles on about the same shi*.
He is out of hand and offending ppl unnecessarily but on the flipside others need to stop being offended and move on. And we must all recognize that he does have a point on the leftist philosophies seeping into our games and hobbies and that is very frustrating.
It does decently well enough to have fun. I tried his list but with mantis rider instead of the angel yesterday and it didnt do well at all. So idk how hes has so much success with it.

The deck feels great and I feel is really tight in its play. Has answers for alot of decks and I am hopeful that with the printing of damping sphere it will give it a huge chance vs what i feel is the toughest matchup(tron).

I think Zyrnak proves this point pretty well. Turn 2 7/7 followed by turn 3 8/8...
This is some very powerful stuff. Good sh** Zyrnak love your content.
Though can you explain to me why the inclusion of master of etherium?
I just dont feel his potential is that great in this deck. There isnt very many artifacts. Wouldnt it be better to play equipment or something? Instead of master?
Idk if you run him or not but i see alot of others do.
I also dropped loadstone golem as I prefer to put in more powerful or useful threats. This is my current build. I am even considering main boarding amethyst as a two of bc the affect is good but just not on a 4 drop creature imo.

I originally had the assistent and a zahir djinn of the lamp. Both are sub optimal. Sage imo is far better then the bird especially if you cant land a artifact till turn 3-4 which makes your bird just sit there. Sage is perfect and the inclusion of fetches helps so much if you only want 1 out of the four he filter. Glint nest crane helps so so much when you are set up with no place to go. I have managed a turn 4 inkwell leviathan and myr superion off of a turn 1 sage, turn 2 glint nest crane and turn 3 architect into a immortal sun. Which is a segway to the next point.
My previous build suffered in that it dumped its hand and was set up with no place to go. Immortal sun is the truth. i run 2 because it is just so so good and sage has pretty good synergy with it too.
Secondly, glint nest crane took the place of etherium sculptor. Late game after removal has been administered by my opponent i find sculptor to be a really poor draw. Where as glint nest is can refill the hand to something you may need or can use in that moment like a ballista or hangarback.
Anyways i think this build helps alot with consistency. I have never played lodestone golem as i just cant get sold on it. As i mentioned above If i need the effect i bring in the amethyst which is really good against control and the like as you all probably know. I also believe the inclusion of spellskite mainboard should be looked at more closely in this meta especially his ability is just made for this deck. Protect the engineer and architect so we can get the fatties out. Anyways still testing any advice is great.
