I kinda felt the same way about Court Homie. (I wasn't comparing it to Shrapnel Blast, though.) Homunculus is a 2/2 for 1 cmc, but he has no other tricks and in that category I'm getting "just a body" creatures for free with Memnite and Ornithopter. For 1 mana I'm getting a Lifelink flier... all the creatures in this deck have the common trait of we're not really paying for them. Not for as much work as they do. Compare that attitude to RDW, where I'd be crapping myself for a 2/2 for 1 mana.

I keep going back and forth between Master and Steel Overseer. Overseer is better over time but I can go for days and never get him to stick long enough to tap him. If I put Master in I can at least get him to stick without getting PoE'd until they realize I'm not running Overseer. Maybe just switching it up to keep people off guard is a good enough reason to do it.

Right now I'm thinking Step 1) -1
Thoughtcast, Step 2) ???, Step 3) Profit. I do like Dispatch. Or maybe a singleton Steelshaper's Gift.

Definitely no argument here on that point.

There is apparently a hot debate between Camp Etched Champion and Camp Master of Etherium.

Or maybe that's just Sally...

Between Opal, Drum and Glimmervoid, you're really only looking for "colored mana" and not necessarily "mana of a specific color". The basics are only there in case of Path to Exile.

Thoughtcast is great if you overextend and leave yourself tapped out for a Wrath (like Mary Jacobson did in game 2 vs. Luis Scott-Vargas in the video link Alex posted... Christ, does Vargas ever sit still??!?). You can come back stronger than you would normally be able to after puking your hand onto the board. It sucks sometimes to be in top deck mode. Other tech ideas: Dispatch is broken. [card]Steelshaper's Gift[/card] as Cranial Plating numbers 5 and 6. Mindbreak Trap vs. a replicated Shattering Spree ( :crazy: ), but not so much vs. Shatterstorm or an
overloaded Vandalblast. Welding Jar because reasons. (I see Texeven knows what I'm sayin' 'bout that.)

I love robot decks enough to necro this whole fucking thread. There, I said it.
