Sideboard


Maybeboard


The plan is simple, create some artifact tokens and Whir of Invention out high value artifacts to help close out the game.

Third Path Iconoclast and Saheeli, Sublime Aritficer are the main generators for artifact tokens. With Third Path Iconoclast being the only creature spells that is hard cast there will be plenty of triggers to create tokens.

Four copies of Opt and four Consider's will help create tokens early game and assist with finding the right lands to get to the required 3 blue.

Depose / Deploy is used to stall in the early game with the Depose / Deploy side and Depose / Deploy will help fill the board and stabilize health mid to late game.

Servo Exhibition Has been replaced with Fateful Absence

Heart of Kiran is easily deployable and almost always activatable off of Saheeli but there will be enough tokens to crew it with most board states.

Portable Hole is main deck removal that that will tap for Whir of Invention's improvise cost. A single copy of Throne of the God-Pharaoh will help stack damage late game as well as give us another tappable artifact that doesn't lose its effectiveness when tapped for Whir.

Castle Embereth is an easy anthem to pump our 1/1 board when swinging big in the late game.

The main card to tutor up with Whir is going to be Terisian Mindbreaker. Its attack trigger is devastating and can be copied onto our other artifact tokens with Saheeli, Sublime Aritficer's -2 ability. Not to mention with the Unearth ability the Terisian Mindbreaker doesn't mind dying or being put into the graveyard from Consider

If in game one, your opponent would benefit from milling, instead use Whir to tutor out Forsaken Monument. Go wide with tokens and overwhelm with 3/3's is going to be the way to go.
