Emry, Lurker of the Loch is essentially a blue version of my all time favorite plansewalker Daretti, Scrap Savant . I'm a sucker for low costing utility commanders, and Emry is exactly that. Like Daretti there's a billion ways to build her, I've chosen to go with a semi-clock themed artifact mill deck. This deck turned out to be a lot more powerful and consistent than I had anticipated. It's very first game at my local card shop it managed to turn five the table. The second game it hit a different combo turn 4.

There's a plethora of combos in this deck. Most of them are centered around Emry herself, but there's a few stand alones. I've found in both playtesting and putting it to an actual table in front of real decks that while graveyard hate is a good way to shut the deck down, many of it's combo pieces are pretty interchangeable.

Primary Combos:

• Emry, Lurker of the Loch + Pemmin's Aura / Freed from the Real + Lion's Eye Diamond will combo with Altar of the Brood , Thought Dissector , or Helm of Obedience . If you have Krark-Clan Ironworks out this combo extends to just about every other mill artifact that exists.
• Lion's Eye Diamond can be replaced with Grand Architect + Pili-Pala in the above chain though it won't trigger the Altar.
• Painter's Servant + Grindstone is an old classic

Some good interactions that aren't combos:

• Traxos, Scourge of Kroog + Grinding Station + Clock of Omens
• Unwinding Clock + Grindclock (the theme of the deck)
• Fraying Sanity + Fleet Swallower or Keening Stone
• Fact or Fiction just reads "Draw 5 cards" as far as I'm concerned.

There's some optimizations that could be made to this build, but those would involve cutting the admittedly terrible Grindclock which was kinda the inspiration for the deck. I just can't do it, and the meta at my local store isn't terribly competitive so there's no real need.
