[ deck ] Blue Star ( mono U affinity )

[Maze]

Hi,

A lot of people are talking about affinity in vintage this days. I made a mono U build with a stronger counterbase than the U/R one. I would like to know your comment about its viability in  hard t1 metagame. Any advise to improve its will be greatly appreciate too.

Mox Monkey eats your entire manabase, but without the artifact lands you can't get affinity fast enough. I think that you really need to be able to lay fast threats like the UR version... Affinity is an aggro concept at heart, but your deck tries to turn it into control. I honestly think that the UR version is better.

I can't really think of any ways to add more good artifacts to your deck, without turning it into a t2 affinity deck.
