Deck name: Steamed Calamari  :P

So I wanted to make an unupped PVP deck using steam machine.  Idea is pretty simple.

1. Freeze things with Freeze and Squids.  Ice shield helps with this and prevents damage from little critter spam.

2. Kill things with Fire Bolt if needed. (Ive been thinking about getting rid of these for more deflags or something because their damage never gets really high.  Cant decide)

3. Make Steam Machine really big.

4. Deflagrate shields (like fire shield or phase shield).

This deck has been really effective against AI3.  The CC is very effective and I can usually shut down most deck's creatures.  It actually surprised me how much freeze/squids combo can get total CC so often.   :P

The problems I run into are mono- :aether .  But the Ice shield makes it possible to win as long as you time your deflag's right on their phase shield.  Bad draws are rare but cause serious problems( like no water pillars...grrrrr).

Any suggestions or comments are welcome   ;D

Might even be worth it to add more Freezes instead of more Deflags for your Fire Bolts. Maybe do one of each? The Freeze card is so much cheaper than freezing with an Arctic Squid, plus you don't have to play the creature first. Arctic Squids would obviously be better at keeping a whole field frozen, but they are pretty easy to kill and hopefully you can take out your opponent fast enough to not need multiple freezes from an Arctic Squid anyway.

Consider replacing fire bolt and freeze with ragepots.  You can either use them for creature control or to add five damage to your machines.

Maybe try this:
