Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
Furnace Dragon will remove all artifacts from the game. But it's not an artifact, so it's safe from itself. But when you combo it with Mycosynth Lattice, its cost shrinks to only and it will remove everything—including all your opponent's stuff—from the game! But it'll remove itself from the game too, since now it's also an artifact! But if you also have Neurok Transmuter, you can turn the Dragon blue and make it stop being an artifact so it won't remove itself from the game, which it wouldn't normally do anyway!!!

Got it? Without the Transmuter, but with the Lattice, Furnace Dragon is still an uber-Obliterate at a fraction of the cost, and that's not a bad thing. Get the Transmuter going too and the Dragon acts like an uber-Desolation Angel with kicker. Our version of Merter's deck is below. Just about all of it is the same. The biggest difference is that We removed all copies of Retract. We initially thought this was a brilliant use for this niche combo card—until We tried it. The idea is to put the Dragon's ability on the stack, Transmute it, Retract all your artifacts (including your lands) to your hand, then let the Dragon remove all your opponent's permanents from the game. The problem is that when you bounce your lands this way, you also bounce Mycosynth Lattice. Your opponent's permanents cease to be artifacts, and they stay in play. Meanwhile, you've got a 5/5 flyer and not much else. (We learned that the hard way.) But as in the March-Lattice decks that don't really need Glorious Anthems, it's enough to have a 2/2 and a 5/5 on the board when there are no other permanents in the game.
