Pitch:

The idea behind this deck was to sacrifice a number of artifacts in order to buff-up and then swing with Strax, Sontaran Nurse, featuring cards like Ichor Wellspring and Lembas to help replace themeselves in the hand or give some extra value to their misuse via Strax, Sontaran Nurse's ability. Supplementarily, cards like Return from the Wilds or Fell the Pheasant could be used to generate artifact tokens with some value, or spells like Irresistible Prey or Enlarge could give Strax, Sontaran Nurse more opportunities for +1/+1 counters when used in a combat.

Problems:

However, the frequent issue I encountered was the deck being pulled in too many directions, with it wanting for the cards to be an artifact sacrifice engine, a proper lure build, or a fight deck without the infrastructure to suit any one of the themes well. Niether did the themes gell cohesively. Strax, Sontaran Nurse was also frequently removed or subject to board wipes, a problem that I feel could be accounted for if the deck wasn't so at war with itself. Really, focus on any one of these themes with more an eye on protection in the future would make for a better deck.
