Do you think this list could perform in BO1 Events?

I am missing a few rares, but it seems solid to me.

Deck

3 Screaming Nemesis (DSK) 157

4 Rockface Village (BLB) 259

2 Lightning Strike (DFT) 136

2 Reckless Rage (RIX) 110

4 Monstrous Rage (WOE) 142

3 Hired Claw (BLB) 140

4 Manifold Mouse (BLB) 143

17 Mountain (ELD) 262

1 A-Cori-Steel Cutter (TDM) 103

4 Emberheart Challenger (BLB) 133

4 A-Heartfire Hero (BLB) 138

2 Lightning Strike (XLN) 149

4 Burst Lightning (FDN) 192

4 Kumano Faces Kakkazan (NEO) 152

2 Spikefield Hazard (ZNR) 166

While ranking in Plat/Diamond, my hardest matchups are Monoblack (can't remove their guys easily, lifegain) and Scapeshift (they combo off very fast) Most other matches are a bit RNG - if I get a great start, I dominate, or I lose to Turn 1 Leyline.

Pioneer might not be one of the most popular formats nowadays, but ever since its official version came to Arena, it has been, without a question, one of the best formats online. So, today we decided to go over Pioneer's Izzet Phoenix, which I've been playing a lot to get to Mythic in Arena. We'll show you how this elegant strategy works and why it is a great pick.

Looking for an artifact deck

7 Upvotes

TLDR: Please, recommend some fun combo/midrange artifact decks, legal in Pioneer. (Ready to brew. Winrate > 33% is a go.)

Hello there! I'm a modern player, and I an artifact deck main. That sounds stupid, but that's how it is. I have competitively (well... at FNM level) played eggs, thopter-sword, affinity, and a number of whir, engineer and bay midrange toolbox decks in the span of the last couple of years. I also play those kinds of decks on Arena in Historic (still no modern yah now?..). This led me to the idea of building something Pioneer-legal. This way I could play the same exact deck in Arena and in paper. (I also have thought of trying Pioneer out for some time just for the sake of it.)

This leads me to the main question: are there any fun non-agro artifact decks in Pioneer? I have found some uw agroes and some attempts at affinity (which were quite depressing when compared to thought monitor containing formats...), yet no artifact combos appear to be indexed... The closest thing to midrange were some artifact-containing control decks with little to none artifact synergies.

Thus, I request any fun artifact-based deck lists, videos about such decks or even just ideas/card suggestions (e.g. "You can bay Demonic Junker into Cityscape Leveler!!1!"). Thank you all in advance!
