Hey guys! Local meme expert Pylons here with this dank build.
I made S late this season because I refuse to play standard decks on ladder. But this baby got me there. With a good matchup against Kara and Lyonar, this deck got me an 80% winrate all the way through diamond. The deck is fairly difficult to pilot, so I guess I should help out a bit.
You lack good 2 drops other than mystic, so turn one going first is often pass (so mulligan for mystics early, don’t save cards because they’ll be “good later”). NEVER TURN 1 BLOODTEAR GOING FIRST. you need to be reactive, and you can’t just throw away cards. Not to mention the fact that you don’t have any powerful 4s that you need the turn 2 tile for.
Turn 1 going second is a bit easier because you can play spelljammer (always on tile, make them go away from you, not towards you). Spelljammer + First Wish is the best turn 1 play, even over ankh (unless they do something like gravity well in a straight line across the board, but who does that?)
As the game progresses, you’re going to want to use about 1.25 cards a turn w/o jammer, and 2 cards with. You’re playing bloodtear, maw, and repulsor as cheap answers, but you’ll run out of cards if you do like bloodtear+maw every turn. You need to be at 3-5 cards to combo.
Starting mana 6, pay attention to your opponent’s life. For 6 mana you can deal 12 damage (staff, tears, time). Add in another staff for +8 or tears for +4. ankh for +4 and able to be from a distance. Keep in mind how much damage you can do with your hand, but don’t try to push them there too hard.
Post any other questions below and I’ll answer them (I’m terrible at thinking of where people would have questions)
Artifact Vetruvian Deck Tech
How come you don’t use Saj? I thought she was all about synergy with artifacts.
Because I like actually having a BBS. the 2/2s are actually useful with positioning and to always have a first wish target. Sajj is only slightly better against Lyonar, but tracer is so strong in that matchup anyways it doesnt matter too much.
Sorry for the late question Pylon, but Ive been interested in putting a ArtiVet deck together for a LONG time, and since its an incredibly expensive deck, Ive only recently even gotten close.
I have most of these things except for a select few
Time Maelstrom (Need 1 more, this is extremely pivotal to deck as it serves as half of the WinCon so I would assume I should simply wait until I can craft this)
Maw (3 copies, I can craft easily)
Silhouette Tracer (1 more, can craft easily)
I dont have any spelljammer’s however, is it okay to replace them with Sojourners (only “card draw” minion I have) or should I wait until I have 3 spelljammers?
I actually thing that Artivet is now is a much worse spot due to Blistering Skorn entering the game. The reason to play this deck before was that Kara had to use her Tigers to clear artifacts, but she doesn’t now due to Skorn. You can play this deck with sojourners over spelljammers if you want, but it’s quite suboptimal
Why not run Oserix’s, Wouldn’t they be good in an ArtiVet deck?
This deck often wins via combo on 6-7 mana, and if it can’t is seriously trying to set up an out of hand lethal. Oserix does very little to actually help the deck. One of the decks biggest strengths is its lack of really beefy minions. Oserix would just eat all the removal your opponent has saved (and people save removal because Aymara healer is a card) and usually that removal would involve dispel. Oserix is on its own merits a bad card because your opponent won’t kill him and has say over when he can die.
Wouldn’t removal bait be a good thing?
You would have to run quite a bit more minions, and would weaken the deck considerably in doing so
Fair enough, thanks for the advice.
Wait, wouldn’t Mechanyst be a good card?
Mechanyst is good when you’re using artifacts to clear minions, which this deck doesn’t do very often. This is a combo deck, not a grinding deck.
That said, mechanyst can be used as a tech card if you see yourself using artifacts to clear quite often
It’s more of a playstyle choice, not a deck building choice, if that makes sense
This deck has expanded the boundaries of my mind 
Welcome to the Vetruvian Imperium
Edit: Works perfect against alot of decks. However against Abysian rush decks with alot of minionsummon its quite a pain at times without counters 
No chance at all vs that unless youre lucky
As a Artifact Vet enthusiast, I just want to say that getting a Twin Fang off of Grincher is fantastic because of the synergy with Time Malestrom.
Really easy lethals with that combo.
