WIP. Need to trim. HALP!

First, I'll explain a few cards that I haven't really seen in other lists yet...

Even with only a handful of targets, I feel like Trinket Mage is worth running in my deck. Proliferating an unanswered Astral Cornucopia or Everflowing Chalice turn after turn gets nutty. He also finds Engineered Explosives, which is definitely worth running in a 4c (capable of producing 5) list IMO.

Academy Ruins recurs Explosives indefinitely, which, while slow, can buy you precious turns in the late game sometimes. It also recurs stax pieces, and in some corner cases, perhaps a blown up Contagion Engine.

Tolaria West is a land with a fairly low opportunity cost (since I don't run any other EtBT lands), and provides a means to search up Explosives, or utility lands like Academy Ruins, Inkmoth Nexus or Homeward Path.

I have some other seldom-used cards in this archetype, but they will be covered in the next section...

Tutors & Common Targets:

• Enlightened Tutor: Finds Winter Orb, Static Orb, Tangle Wire, Stasis, Humility, Rhystic Study, Luminarch Ascension, Inexorable Tide, Contagion Engine
• Fabricate: Finds Winter Orb, Static Orb, Tangle Wire, Chromatic Lantern, Contagion Engine
• Idyllic Tutor: Finds Stasis, Rhystic Study, Aura of Silence, Humility, Inexorable Tide
• Liliana Vess: Finds anything at the cost of CDA
• Perplex: Finds Static Orb, Tangle Wire, Toxic Deluge, Aura of Silence, Rhystic Study, Chromatic Lantern, Anguished Unmaking, Beast Within, Putrefy
• Shred Memory / Muddle the Mixture: Finds Stasis, Winter Orb, Sylvan Library, Luminarch Ascension
• Tezzeret the Seeker : Finds Winter Orb, Static Orb, Tangle Wire
• Trinket Mage / Tolaria West: Finds Engineered Explosives, Astral Cornucopia, Everflowing Chalice
• Trophy Mage: Finds Static Orb, Tangle Wire, Chromatic Lantern

I might consider adding Vampiric Tutor and Demonic Tutor as well, but currently only own 1 of each and I'd rather use them in a deck that I'm going to play more often than this one.

Maintaining Stasis:

• Sun Titan infinite recursion, as long as you can attack with Titan each turn
• Pentad Prism or Teferi, Temporal Archmage with Atraxa on board and proliferating
• Garruk Wildspeaker, Nissa, Vital Force or Kiora, Master of the Depths untapping lands
• Tezzeret the Seeker + either Chromatic Lantern, Darksteel Ingot or (likely) Fellwar Stone
