Notes:
Use the tough creeps to stall the game while you look for combo pieces. Hold off on fatal blocks until your life is at the halfway point, tho - if the opponent is swinging with one bog creep and holding back lots smaller creeps because they can't push through your walls, you prolly come out ahead keeping those walls alive for as long as possible and trying to get a token engine online to chump the fatties. If you find Grid, use it defensively at first, tapping on your opponent's eot or combat step and prioritizing managing his board over shipping at his health. Sigil on Aggregate is the biggest damage combo, but if you get Grid AND Throne out, you can do 3 damage per pair of arti creatures, so think about shifting to offense if that combo comes out (tapping on your own turn to get damage from Throne). Don't bother cracking Maps unless you still feel you need more land - every artifact helps for improvise and Grid damage.

SwampGame plan: Use cantrips and Maps as required to hit land drops early, leaving them on the field where possible to enable Rebukes. Efficient Construction is critical - after it's down, cantrips make for a limitless supply of chump blockers. Spy Network functions as a slower EC for the most part, but its card draw leads to cantrips leads to more EC thopters.
Pia's Revolution can lead to early wins if Opp gets greedy and denies artifacts. Doesn't take many bolts to the face before Disintegrations and thopters can sneak in the last few points. If Opp opts out of the bolt-to-the-face program, the cantrips just come right back and make EC thopters on the way.
Lightning Axe does a nice job of making late game Rebukes look less awful, and Disintegration played well enough to justify the splash for it alone.
There we have it! A fine quintet of rank-destroying janktastic garbage for our illustrious judges to test. Have at em'!
Oh, and if anyone wants to add instructions or advice on how to play their deck to the lists, let me know sooner than later.
