After I returned to MTG and found out that my Tinker/Mana Crypt combo had become popular around the nation, I decided to use Darksteel and make the deck idea even more evil.

16x Island
4x Crystal Vein
2x Tolarian Academy

4x Tinker
4x Mana Crypt
4x Last Word
4x Metalworker
4x Brainstorm
4x Chimeric Idol
4x Masticore
4x Sol Ring
2x Voltaic Key
2x Darksteel Colossus
1x Cunning Wish
1x Platinum Angel

My original deck idea had Phyrexian Colossus instead of Darksteel. Most of the time, I could drop an Island, Mana Crypt and play Tinker very early (sometimes first turn) and sacrifice the Mana Crypt (never suffering its effects) and replacing it with Darksteel Colossus. A fast way to pull an indestructable 11/11 Trample creature out. The deck can generate fast colorless mana to pump into Masticore to help take out any possible blockers or small creatures (Birds, etc) and of course... Platinum Angel for that added bit of flavor.

you may want to run some sculpting steels and copy artifacts, you can get multiple darksteel colosusi out :)

I'm thinking of maybe taking out 2 Masticores and 2 Chimeric Idols and adding 2 Copy Artifacts and 2 Vesuvan Doppelgangers

Revised. Added Grim Monoliths, Vesuvan Doppelgangers, another Cunning Wish, Copy Artifact and cut down to 1 Tolarian Academy.

16x Island
4x Crystal Vein
1x Tolarian Academy

4x Tinker
4x Mana Crypt
4x Last Word
4x Metalworker
4x Brainstorm
4x Grim Monolith
2x Time Spiral
2x Copy Artifact
2x Vesuvan Doppelganger
2x Chimeric Idol
2x Masticore
2x Darksteel Colossus
2x Cunning Wish
1x Platinum Angel

I think it is looking pretty good, I might be missing a few things though, but it is looking good

What do you think about me replacing the 4 Metalworkers with 4 Chrome Moxes?

IMO, Metalworker should stay. I love this card. I'd easily keep four Workers for four Moxes. Just my two cents.

The idea is for fast mana to use on the good cards. Metalworker is great... my idea for the replacement was that I could get out a Chrome Mox for free... the card that I remove can be brought back using Cunning Wish.... and its just easy fast mana

are you jsut playing casual???
if so try and get some lotus petals maybe

I'm every kind of player in this game. Lotus Petals are an insult!! ;)

Hey Mox, read up on this to see what you had come up with since the last time you showed me the deck. NO MATTER what you do, DO NOT add the moxes over the Metal Worker, are you F*&$ing insane. Metal Worker is a nice card, and makes a helluva lot of mana very fast, as long as you are accenting the deck with blue, you want to keep a nice amount of artifacts in your hand and deck. I am going to look up some cards now, to splash this deck around a little bit and see how you like it.

4 Crystal Vein
10 Island

I don't wanna lock it down as much as I wanna kill really fast. Platinum Angel can lock it down in case I get hosed somehow. I like the Chrome Moxes because they're free casting artifacts that generate mana. They can be used as sacrifice bait as well. Metalworker is nice, but it can give your opponent a precognitive knowledge of whats to come. I can use the Moxes as a 2nd means (1st being Mana Crypt) to sac early to bring Colossus into play.

why not just run ornithopters or something to sacrifice for the big guys, the problem with chrome mox is that you have to remove a card from your hand and also you really aren't running that much blue cards
ohh, I just though of something even better, run 4 seat of the synod (blue artifact land, incase you didn't know) they produce blue mana and can also be sacrificed, they would probably be better than chrome moes in this deck

I think I might just replace 4 Islands with that. Thanks for the heads up.
