WIP Primer

How to play the deck (WIP)

Win via blue shenanigans; i.e. protect self with counterspells (or implementation of asymmetrical Stax pieces), set up combos, profit

Interesting (semi-degenerate) interactions

Focusing on Master Transmuter, it's ability facilitates a few interesting interactions

1. Targeting itself it can be used for evasion purposes (a cost can't be responded to).
2. Master Transmuter can be used to effectively 'reset' Pithing Needle
3. 'Saving' key pieces by bouncing them to hand.
4. Cheating out high-cost artifacts:Blightsteel Colossus & Wurmcoil Engine can be cheated out with Master Transmuter and a low-cost artifact (Lotus Petal, etc.).

Next, Narset, Parter of Veils + wheel effect to deny resources

1. Narset, Parter of Veils + Windfall
2. Narset, Parter of Veils + Teferi's Puzzle Box

Lastly, Urza himself (for massive utility)

1. Turning all artifacts into mana rocks
2. Making symmetrical Stax pieces asymmetrical (turning off Static Orb + Winter Orb)
3. Casting out full deck with 3rd ability
4. Generate an army of Karn-structs when soul-bonded with Deadeye Navigator

Alternate Win-cons:

Mirrodin Besieged - 15 Artifacts in grave

Mechanized Production - 8 copies of artifacts

If have infinite mana, then Stroke of Genius - inifinite mill

Tutors:

Arcum Dagsson

Merchant Scroll

Muddle the Mixture

Mystical Tutor

Reshape

Spellseeker

Tezzeret the Seeker

Whir of Invention

Infinite Mana:

Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + 3 generic from non-land mana sources (i.e. rocks, etc)

Pili-Pala + Grand Architect or Training Grounds

Infinite draw:

1. Future Sight + Etherium Sculptor + Sensei's Divining Top
2. Future Sight + Sai, Master Thopterist + Urza, Lord High Artificer + Sensei's Divining Top
