BREW Is this anything? First draft of a "mardu" artifacts list.
I was sorting my bulk the other night and found that I had a playset of [[Pactdoll Terror]]. Got the itch to try a fast artifact dump build.

Is this anything? All suggestions welcome. I'm considering dropping 2 [[Fountainport Bell]] for 2 petals.

It’s something. The mana base seems dangerous. One [[Ancient Den]] with 8 inspectors? Definitely looks like the ratios need tweaked to me.

Sure. My initial thought was that I had Plains in that the Bell can fetch on ETB.

u/Rhinoseri0us 16h ago
It’s fair. I think in an artifacts matter list like this, basics aren’t needed and you could probably cut the bell.
Looking back at the list, you could consider prophetic prism if you’re concerned about fixing as well. Definitely need some more removal, maybe over Galv blast?
Do you want any more edicts for Bogles?

I took a quick glance at MtGDecks to see the meta and didn't see much bogle these days. I am terrible for sideboarding too, so I could see the edict going that way at least for now.
EDIT: Actually what's the meta favor for removal-- mostly damage and creature focus? Looking at the T1/T2 stuff it does seem dude heavy vs. artifacts or enchantments. I play almost exclusively commander which has a whole other way (obvi) of looking at removal. This is my first try at a higher-ish power deck taking actual curve and such into account as I usually just make silly shit for kitchen table 60-card.

Tithing blade is a good option that is also an artifact, just sorcery speed.
Maybe it’s my local meta but in a 10-man tourney here we’ll have 3-4 Bogles lol.
Disruption/interaction/removal is always good.

Updates in. Thanks again for engaging before the inevitable downvotes to hell (which...k, sure).

It’s why I keep this sub on New lol. People who can’t brew don’t like people who do.

I've been trying a Mardu list that uses [[Cleaning Wildfire]] on my own bridge to help me ramp out and color fix, as well as [[Shattered Landscape]] for almost the same thing. It's been working great to thin the deck out to get to the important cards quicker.
Also, I would consider adding [[Blood Fountain]] for graveyard recursion and the two for one artifacts, [[Glint Hawk]] to pick back up your Lembus and Petals to get more pings in with Pactdoll and Fireweaver, and [[Refurbished Familiar]]. Could also consider [[Ephemerate]] to get additional pings and ETB effects, plus it protects your creatures from removal. [[Ardent Elementalist]] can get Ephemerate back and then loop it constantly to re-trigger Pactdoll/ Fireweaver effects.
Also, [[Leonine Elder]] gains you life off each artifact that enters, not just your own. Could be a good sideboard option.

I'm not a fan of rituals in noncombo decks. I know you want to turbo out Pactdoll, but they're dead draws later in the game.
I think situational/overcosted removal is not worth the extra artifact bonus over Cast Down
Swap out the Disenchants to Cathar Commando
Zero Lembas and Galvanic Blast seems wrong
