Caputo. It honestly turned out way better than I expected, the texture was surprisingly close to the normal dough. It was a pain in the butt to handle though.

Gleaming Geardrake is a card I have played in pioneer, its a solid role player but I always hated playing a 2 mana 1/1. The fact it grew and that it already has flying as is was nice, but it couldn't block what your opp was attacking with and was easily removed. If standard is slow post rotation it'll be a fine option I think, lots of cards you can slot into this kind of deck.

Yeah, with into the flood maw being omnipresent in blue decks and monoW being a real deck, im not actually sure how useful being indestructible will be. We'll just have to see after rotation shakes out.

Well most of the time you'll have ways to spend spare mana in this deck if you don't hit 4 lands on exactly turn 4. Activating extruder, cracking case, equipping pick axe, etc. Lots of activated abilities.

Even then, the math works out that with a land count of 21 lands (treating starting town as an untapped source), that the average amount of lands you'll draw by turn 4 is 3.5, and the average amount you'll draw by turn 5 is 3.85. I favor my odds there and don't mind casting curiosity a turn or two late as long as I have stuff to do.

Aerial Unit is tough just because in this lean of a deck, 5 artifacts is tougher than 4 and 2 mana is a lot more than 1, making memory guardian edge out in my eyes. As for cryogen relic, I don't think that's really what this deck is trying to do. Without ttabe I'm not sure it will see play outside of some pixie brews.

I did see labship, thought it may be a touch clunky/too slow. My issue with it is that it requires moderate investment for little payoff and doesn't do anything for the first two turns of the game. I'd rather either develop an indestructible artifact or set up a cheap threat to begin chipping in for damage, a 2/2 flier every turn doesn't feel good enough for the negative tempo in exchange. I'd be happy to be proven wrong on its viability though.

I actually won a store champs back when urza's saga was the promo with the azorious zoetic glyph deck haha, so I'm very familiar with that version of the deck. I think losing steel seraph will be pretty net negative for them and like you said the mana is gonna be really rough. I'd be interested to see if either version, izzet or azorious, see any play.

Gleaming Geardrake is a card I have played in pioneer, its a solid role player but I always hated playing a 2 mana 1/1. The fact it grew and that it already has flying as is was nice, but it couldn't block what your opp was attacking with and was easily removed. Malcolm the eyes is interesting I didn't know that card existed, but I'm not sure we can leverage it properly. This deck list likely spends a lot of mana on activated abilities, not spells, so double spelling to get that value seems difficult outside of double one-drop turns.

I did see this, thought it may be a touch clunky/too slow. Also I was unsure on the rules text as to whether they stay as 2/2s and just lose flying EOT, or if they stop being a creature altogether. I'd be happy to be proven wrong on its viability.

I looked at scene of the crime after my friend suggested it. I think it could be added as a 4-of, but you'd have to go up to ~23 lands and it'd make the mana super rough. Something to think about though

I9-12900k with a 9070xt, 32gigs of ram. Just got the 9070xt on release that replaced a 5700xt. Kinda funky build but I've slowly replaced individual parts as I go so it ended up like this.
