Well, geez. Great Furnace and his guy 1st turn, Vault of Whispers and Entomb 2nd, tap Goblin Welder for a free Bosh/Clockwork Dragon/Masticore/whatever.

i use a red art serum tank deck the brilliance of just discarding loads of artifacts early on then getting them back by tapping is amazing also a good way of stopping the annoyance of nev disk as long as they have another artifact pure brilliance

here's the deal with this guy. I may not be the best MAGIC player, but this is WHAZ UUUUUP! black lotus in play, or grave yard along with any of the following like wise in play or grave yard - sol ring/grim monolith/mana vault. Got a few or 3 Goblins out??? Great. NO NEED for a lock. Play red white or r/w/blk. ORIMS CHANT and go to town baby. how big do you like your BALLZ-o-FIRE or death grasps? Oh and if you play black, draw those cards, and keep dark rituals - EVIL - interested in meaningful quick kill - please apply within. THNX

This card is the HOUSE in Vintage, Legacy and Extended. He will lock you down, or recur artifacts creatures like Sundering Titan, or Juggernaut. Devastation, all for just one red

Lots of artifacts on the table, and this guy and a mindslaver out. No more turns for your opponent.

Cross Tinker with Recurring Nightmare, make it cost much less mana than either one, top it off with some good flavor text and you end up with a very good card.
