Anyone tried this already?
And I think I'm going to run a Artifact deck with Legacy Weapon, Scarecrone, Composite Golem, and Thornbite Staff as my main combo with a bunch of artifact buffers, Master of Etherium, Tower Gargoyle, Etherium Sculpture, and then run a lot of control.

It's not that it's cryptic; they just fail to block piddly artifact creatures, and they suddenly face a swarm of flying tokens.
Lol oh. I want to goof around with March of the Machines, Sharding Sphinx, and Goblin Assault or Bitterblossom.

bitterblossom tokens aren't artifacts, not without cards such as Mycosynth Lattice anyway

Lich's mirror actually isn't that good--you start from scratch against an enemy who probably has a ton of mana and some good creatures out. I could see it working well with a "scorched-earth" strategy, though.
So really, he just needs to use Mycosynth Lattice instead of MotM.

Hah, that puts a whole new level of meaning to the card.
It won't just kill you, it'll make you kill your dad, and let's not even talk about what happens to your mom.
I guess the holographic was getting in the way of my eyesight.
And yes, I am familiar with the myth with which you were referring to. *Radio jingle* Incest in the morning, QDR!

Problem is, it doesn't help you actually beat the faeries; you still need to be able to kill them somehow, despite the horde of 1/1 chump blockers they are building up.

The problem with Raking Canopy is faries can play around it until they can bounce it with Cryptic and swing ftw. Not saying it's a bad card, but it's not tournament worthy that's for sure. It'd probably do just fine in a casual setting.
Its an easy way to jack up a faerie deck, counters or not. In the time my opponent waits to use something like Cryptic Command or some such thing I could use the Gift of the Deity enchant and just sac a creature to kill all the faeries. I think this has a lot of potential.

My group of friends and I are playing Standard format. Any suggestions?
Hurricane is also bad, as it's a sorcery. You want something that's instant speed. Cloudthresher is the best card against faeries because it's instant removal and a huge dude that you can flash in if you catch them tapping out. most faeries builds also don't run terror/eyeblights maindeck anymore, so they have next to no way of dealing with him if he hits.
Cards like jund charm are also good against faeries as it's instant. also doubles up as reveillark hate
Not a bad casual deck at all. Just my suggestion, and one you will find you will get a lot from other players, is to cut the 1-ofs. You really want to have a deck that has a lot of 4-ofs and 3-ofs. These are the cards you want to see early and often. Usually you wanna have a 1-of in the deck if you wanna see it later in the game or use Lilianna to search for it.
Other than that, not sure what else to put in here.

that said, figure and demigod are kind of the wheels of that deck, so trade for them?
I gave the set a shot and I have to say, I think they need to give multicolor a rest.
Onslaught had 4, Mirrodin block had 0 multi color cards, Kamigawa had two, Rav was the multi color block (162) and then we see an explosion of gold cards (likely due to Rav's popularity).
Time spiral had 41, Lorwyn (just Lor/Morn) had 8 and shadowmoor had 196. In two sets we got more gold cards than in the 3 set multi color block.
Now shards is out and it looks to be at about the same level as Rav.
I want cards like Ruination, back to basics, sowing salt, blood moon, primal order and molten rain.
Playing a second color should be doable, but 3 (and 5 for fucks sake!) should be a lot more risky/difficult. I remember reading an article on wizards that the basic thing that separates M:TG from other card games is the land/mana system. By making color/mana screw a thing of the past M:TG becomes just another yugioh, pokemon or WoW:TCG.

Yeah, it won't work. You're running a different deck at that point.
Constructed or limited? Constructed you have a point, but drafting shards? Manafixing is like the most important thing in the draft, color screw comes into play sooooo often. There's still a huge risk to running 3(or more) color decks in draft.
If you metagame for it/know what you are doing, 5 color control is kind of a joke. On wednesday I had cruel ultimatum resolved on me three times in two games - I won 2-0.
