I saw the Daily Deck today. It seemed appropriate for gunslinging: No casual deck could beat the aggro, but not competitve either.

Here's my version:

Metal Men- GO!

4 Silver Myr
4 Pick your favorite off-color mana-Myr
4 Myr Galvanizer
4 Palladium Myr
4 Riddlesmith

4 Mox Opal
4 Jace's Ingenuity
4 Time Reversal
4 Semblance Anvil

This version is greatly improved, because the addition of Jace's Ingenuity as another card draw source, which playtesting might replace with the cheaper Preordain if that turns out to be enough.

Also, Myr Galvanizer infinite combo's with the 12 other Myr in the deck.

The addition of Myr Galvanizer is what the gunslinging deck was really missing, and what makes this deck broken. Instead of the Splinter Twin combo, you just rush out tons of free Myr and Lord them. Getting every single Myr creature onto the battlefield is possible, and deadly

24 Islands, of course.

If you drop Semblance Anvil, game. you go through your whole deck and win. Make sure you don't play all your lands, so that Time Reversal has something to put back and you don't mill yourself. Seems kinda silly to mention, but sucks if you forget.

The funny thing about this deck is the number P9 effects we have in Standard. The Mana Myr are the new Moxen and Sol Ring (only with Semblance Anvil does this work)
Jace's Ingenuity is Ancestral Recall
Time Reversal is Timetwister

If you are willing to play with Extended stuff, you can use Brainstorm or Ponder as a much faster Recall, and Time Warp for Time Walk

We don't have a viable Black Lotus effect in any format except Vintage/Legacy. Its called Black Lotus :P
