For when you want to durdle, but also spend a small amount of money. This deck is built such that every piece of the combo to win is replaceable with the exception of Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient, and you just win with whatever combo presents itself during the game. (Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient is going to be assumed in all future combos, so I won't be specifying him.)

First, you need to get infinite mana, which centres around Voltaic Key with Galvanic Key as a back up, and these are the easiest ways:

1. Gilded Lotus + Voltaic Key - This is the simplest and most efficient way to get infinite mana.

2. Astral Cornucopia + Voltaic Key - This only works with 3 or more charge counters, Coretapper can help with that.

3. Basalt Monolith + Galvanic Key + Gilded Lotus - This is the easiest way to get it using Galvanic Key.

4. Astral Cornucopia + Galvanic Key - Works only if you have 5 or more charge counter on it, I highly recommend you do this using Coretapper since 15 mana is hard to come by before you go infinite.

5. Astral Cornucopia + Basalt Monolith + Galvanic Key - Works with only 3 charge counters.

6. Prototype Portal + Ugin's Nexus + any sac outlet simulates infinite mana with infinite turns.

Now that you have infinite mana, you need something to do with it. Here are some of the combos I know:

1. Pyrite Spellbomb + Salvaging Station + Voltaic Key - Also works with Galvanic Key.

2. Reckless Fireweaver + Salvaging Station + Voltaic Key + Codex Shredder, Conjurer's Bauble, Scrabbling Claws, Universal Solvent or Wayfarer's Bauble.

3. Pyrite Spellbomb + Trading Post + Voltaic Key - Again, also works with Galvanic Key.

4. Pentavus + Reckless Fireweaver - Also works with Thopter Squadron.

5. Impact Tremors + Pentavus - Also works with Thopter Squadron and Trading Post.

6. Infinite turns + pretty much anything

This deck isn't intended to be very good, rather it's just meant to be fun artifact durdle followed by a frankly unnecessary amount of possible win conditions.
