5-color eggs: because all the options

This is my latest project, 5c eggs. It's still a work in progress, and keep in mind that I am on a budget, but suggestions would be nice. Feel free to ask me about my card choices, as some are somewhat eccentric.

Why Reaper King?

Why? For a few reasons. The first is that he's five color. That means I get the best budget artifacts in every color. Second, his ability. With a few cards, this deck can use the few scarecrows I run as eggs, creating "blow things up" engine. Third, his mana cost. He can be cast when color screwed, which can happen on a crap mana base like ours. Fourth, he can be a backup beatstick (6/6 can be small, even with commander damage, but it can be enough to finish off someone.) and in an emergency, he's an artifact, so he can be sacced for various effects.

List of engines:

Sun Titan/Auriok Salvagers/Salvaging Station/Goblin Welder/Daretti, Scrap Savant+Utility artifacts = Repeatable usages. On their own, the utility artifacts and eggs do basically diddly-squat, but when they get reused, the effect is noticeable.

Lantern of Insight/Oracle of Mul Daya+Codex Shredder/Daretti, Scrap Savant = The modern Pixy Stix engine. 99% of the time, you'll use this to filter your draws and get the right artifacts into your graveyard.

Glissa, the Traitor+Executioner's Capsule = 1BB: destroy target nonblack creature. Cribbed from basically every Glissa EDH list.

Auriok Salvagers/Salvaging Station+Pithing Needle+Sac outlet = Oh, you wanted to use your commander/bomb's activated abilities? NO! And at instant speed, you can change Pithing Needle's chosen card.

Auriok Salvagers+Lotus Bloom = Okay, so maybe it's not so much of an engine as an infinite combo. But it deserves a mention.

Myr Incubator+Mirror of Fate+anything that can recur Mirror of Fate = This one deserves a good explanation. First, you activate Myr Incubator's ability, exiling a bunch of artifacts you think you'll need later. Next, when you need one of the artifacts you exiled, you use Mirror of Fate's ability to replace your library with the artifacts you need. With the eggs providing lots of draw, you'll probably draw the required artifact. Result: Toolbox!

Help!

This deck needs serious help. An extra non-combo wincon is needed, and there are plenty of great cards I probably missed.

Thanks for spending some time to look at this deck! Don't forget to comment and +1!
