Originally the Fallout UB Science Precon, I wanted to play it with Liberty Prime, Recharged instead of Dr Madison, then realized Liberty Prime was a legal commander for Zirda, the Dawnwaker as a companion. I've been wanting a Zirda deck for a while (my only Activated ability focused deck was Grixis with Mairsil) and the combination of some artifact sacrifice shenanigans and the activated necessary restriction seemed like an appealing and unique challenge.

Little bit of flavor: because I've got a Giant Robot/Mech and a creature in the command zone, I've made some proxies of Liberty Prime and Zirda as the various Giant mechs of pop culture and their pilots (like Gipsy Danger and Raleigh/Mako or Eva Unit 01 and Shinji)

(at the moment, it's only a little different from the original, since I made it Zirda legal with cards I had on-hand, but I'll see what I pick up of older stuff as I also slot in new cards as new sets arise)
