![]() ![]() You want to avoid artifact exile effects as much as possible because you have no way of getting back a card in exile. Since playing Sword + Foundry consider cutting Tempered Steel? Urza, Prince of Kroog is the exception since it's part of another combo. This makes anthem effects that increase p/t that are artifacts better than anthem nonartifact cards. Thankfully, Foundry can sac any nontoken artifact, before you want to combo with Sword + Foundry sac the artifact anthem effect. If you want to combo with Sword + Foundry then you can't control any effect that increases p/t of artifact creatures. Marionette Master can be a wincon with combos: Sword + Foundry + Altar and Urza, PoK + Altar + Battlesphere, but this is adding a fourth card, 6 drop, to the combos which is a lot and is really not needed because these combos create infinite artifact tokens which gives Constructs infinite power/toughness. Sharuum the Hegemon another 6 drop here who reanimates an artifact which is much better than what Surgeons does. Having to pay the mana cost of an artifact creature in your graveyard to then exile that artifact is not good. Wire Surgeons is a lesser 6 drop here than the rest and it's effect is only artifact creature not artifact. When deciding to add a card, it can help deck building and the mana curve to cut a card that's more mana cost. Wire Surgeons, Marionette Master, Hexavus.Hireling's effect is like Thopter Spy Network where you can trigger it more than once if you have creatures do combat damage to more than one opponent. Grim Hireling doesn't draw with Constructs it makes ramp, treasures which can help with Revel in Riches since the only reliable source of treasures here is Tithe. Because Urza's artifact creature affinity can pay for his Commander tax then Skullclamp with Urza is another way for repeatable draw. Skullclamp is in the precon and it's excellent with Sword + Foundry combo since it creates 1/1 Thopters that can then each be saced for 1 mana to draw two cards. More repeatable draw from Constructs can help to draw combo pieces. Research Thief is more repeatable draw with Constructs that's also a flying artifact creature. Bident of Thassa is in the precon and it's repeatable draw with Constructs. If you can draw a card each time a Construct does combat damage to an opponent then you're getting great value from Constructs and a good reason to want to attack. Good additions of wincon combos: Sword + Foundry + Altar and Urza, PoK + Altar + Battlesphere.Ĭonsider cutting a few of the lesser unnecessary higher mana cost creatures for some more draw? Constructs have an easy time if they can attack at doing combat damage to an opponent thanks to menace from Urza. Hey, some nice upgrades to the precon so far. ![]()
