In general, i wonder a lot about them being a double edge sword.

I'm thinking of running a legacy BW knight deck with 4-6 equipment and 8 artifact lands. The benefit being of puresteel paladin metalcraft free equip and dispatch. This isnt the deck idea, more of an underlying combo.

With the all the artifact hate, i could see it going towards the lands before equipment drops or the train gets rolling.

Aside from the deck idea, what are your thoughts on artifact lands?

Whoops: The benefit of puresteel paladin for card draw and free equip.

They don't help card draw. You draw off of equipment not artifacts and you don't need metalcraft to get the draw.

I'll rephrase that to: pure steels metal craft ability, an potential to main board dispatch

Playing mox opal/diamond would also allow you to do turn 2 vindicate or mortify.

Don't think there is anything wrong with running the Artifact lands.

It would be hurt by the same hate as affinity.

If you're good enough on colored mana to do it, run 4 Darksteel Citadel. Gives you the extra artifacts without having to worry about them getting destroyed.
