This deck is mainly based on The Antiquities War with a curious (and a bit accidental) Jhoira subtheme. It’s goal is to overload on artifacts and make them all five fives and swing and win with potential aid from Sleep. Other wincons include Traxos, Scourge of Kroog maybe equipped with Blackblade Reforged and Mishra's Self-Replicator who can get out of hand (especially as antiquities 5/5. A lot of cheap(ish) artifacts to grow the board with the main engines being Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain and Sai, Master Thopterist. These artifacts can be random but the ones below feel varied in strengths and abilities to try to cope with other decks like Navigator's Compass against aggro and Sentinel Totem good against the dominant golgati midrange. Weatherlight is a strange card but it helps dig for antiquities other artifacts and other legends. A small control package is there including Spell Swindle which creates treasure to feed into The Antiquities War ultimate rage. There are some planeswalkers that are strong here but quite expensive like Karn, Scion of Urza.

This deck seems fun but is untested. Comments are useful and appreciated especially input on the artifacts which is the most fluid part of the deck.
