Budget Artifact Birds | ONE Standard | MTG Arena

Today we are trying to beat our opponents with 0 zero rares using budget birds! We are using both [[Swooping Lookout]] and [[Malcator's Watcher]] and we are hoping to buff them with either [[Unctu's Retrofitter]] or [[Michiko's Reign of Truth]]. We also hope to copy them with [[Hulking Metamorph]] to get a 3/3 version of them. We can also copy [[Combat Thresher]] with our [[Hulking Metamorph]] to get a 3/3 doublestriker. To combo with the prototypes we are running [[Touch the Spirit Realm]] so we can remove artifacts and creatures or blink our prototypes to upgrade them. We are using [[Stern Lesson]] to draw, ramp, increase our artifact count with the powerstone and discard our prototypes which we can return with our 2 copies of [[Repair and Recharge]]. [[Hulking Metamorph]] is the ideal target for these blink and reanimate effects because with it and our other creatures we can either have a vigilant 7/7 flyer or a 7/7 double striker. Lastly, [[Unctus's Retrofitter]] also works well with [[Combat Thresher]] to turn it into a 4/4 double striker.

Watch until the end of the video to see my suggestions on how to improve the deck.
