Description

This deck revolves around trying to blink Kenku Artificer as many times as possible to transform non-creature artifacts into flying 3/3s to beat down your opponent. Creatures such as Archaeomancer and Thraben Inspector give longevity to the blink stratergy by providing artifact tokens and allowing you to return your precious blink spells to your hand from the graveyard, along with Prized Statue, Blood Servitor, and others.

Kor Cartographer allows you to ramp and find all important dual lands to keep your mana base from falling apart. However, it is also one of the creature cards that can be replaced with minimal trauma. Sunscape Familiar is one of the best replacements from the sideboard, negating some of the costs you'll incur whilst cast multiple blue spells per turn. Teach By Example also gives better value for mana, allowing you to duplicate your blink spells and card draw.

Blood Servitor is another card that could be swapped for a few other creature cards with similar effects. Stone Retrieval Unit is a good example. Swap it in if you need the powerstones for extra ramp before turning them into flying 3/3s.

Reality Acid is one of the best removal spells for this deck. Blinking it will allow you to remove any permanent you want from the battlefield.

Other artifacts could be added to this deck such as Mind Stone, Codex Shredder or Everflowing Chalice. All three of these come with either the bonus of added card draw, or that you can cast them for free. However, they don't synergise so well with blinking as they don't produce extra artifacts when they etb. Artifact card draw like Ichor Wellspring could be swapped in for Prized Statue if card draw becomes an issue.

Another way to improve the deck would be to either bump up to three colours, or splash black/green. Green gives better ramp and allows you to untap your lands for multiple blink spells one after the other while black gives you Blood Fountain, Reaping The Graves and Deadly Dispute for card draw and an artifact.
