Is Built From Scratch worth buying?

from Commander 2014 Decks: Product Breakdown and Information by Jeff Dunn

Built from Scratch is a great introduction to Commander. It’s the most focused of the five 2014 decks with a balanced curve that’s just a little faster than the other four. It’s got a generalized artifact focus instead of Forged in Stone’s equipment specific theme, but it still wins with a definitively Timmy-style finisher, dropping Tyrant's Familiar or Steel Hellkite to beat your opponents to death.

How Built From Scratch plays

Built from Scratch is the mono-red artifact-themed deck from Commander 2014. It’s led by Daretti, Scrap Savant with the help of the all-new Feldon of the Third Path and reprinted Bosh, Iron Golem. Okay technically Tuktuk the Explorer is included as well, but it’s definitely not meant for the command zone.

Daretti’s great. Its first ability loots, its second ability returns artifacts from the ‘yard, and its ultimate makes your artifacts effectively immortal. This deck wants to loot all its nasty artifacts like Wurmcoil Engine and Myr Battlesphere into the graveyard and return them to the battlefield with cards like Goblin Welder. Using Spine of Ish Sah and mana generators like Caged Sun can ensure your opponents’ threats are under control.
