This deck uses Emry as a tool to increase consistency and speed of the core combos of the deck. These combos are centered around mana generating sacrifice outlets Krark-Clan Ironworks (KCI) and Ashnod's Altar . Similar to how KCI loops worked before it was banned in modern, Scrap Trawler , Myr Retriever and similar effects allow you to recur these sacrificed cards from the graveyard and repeatedly play them. To net positive mana from these loops cards such as Chief Engineer , Etherium Sculptor , and Foundry Inspector allow mana costs to be paid in other ways or outright reduced. Netting positive mana allows for more elaborate loops using cards such as Mind Stone and Wayfarer's Bauble to draw your entire deck or play every land from your deck. Win conditions are needed to actually pay off from this so Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and Mirrodin Besieged finish the game. There are far more interactions and paths to victory but the parts to the main combo are very interchangeable and every piece is intended to be useful outside of the combo. Emry, Lurker of the Loch herself can loop with Thornbite Staff and Chakram Retriever effects to allow even more elaborate loops. Tutors are extremely important in this deck and we have just about 10 of them that have varying degrees of flexibility. This deck is a more budget version without many of the more powerful artifacts. Lion's Eye Diamond is both absurd in price but also power level, as well as Reshape being a more costly tutor for important combo pieces. Feedback would be appreciated, especially with the amount and types of interaction since many of the strong interaction cards in blue are cost prohibitive so please no Force of Will type suggestions. Upvote if you like my take on this new commander.

Note: As of the building of this deck, cards from Throne of Eldraine are considered not EDH legal so disregard that.
