hey so this deck is a blue white artifacts deck that mainly aims to win either through the use of an Approach of the Second Sun or through The Antiquities War .

IMPORTANT

The deck mainly makes use of Inspiring Statuary to be able to cast your usual late game cards like Approach of the Second Sun or River's Rebuke, also allowing you to cast Karn, Scion of Urza using your dinky artifacts. Post board it allows for one to cast, and cast spells after a Fall of the Thran, and also let's one be sneaky with Syncopate.

Approach of the Second Sun + The Antiquities War these two cards together allow you to win off of Approach of the Second Sun at lightning speed, but at the same time if you mess up with counting, then your Approach of the Second Sun goes right to the bottom of your library, and this deck doesn't really have too many ways to shuffle, so it's pretty much gonna stay there. So it's important to keep in mind when you cast your antiquities war if you're aiming to cast your second Approach of the Second Sun. when casting both cards during the same turn, (Approach then War) make sure you have either an Implement of Improvement, a Sentinel Totem, or a Treasure Map   ready to go so that you can draw your Approach of the Second Sun before the second trigger of The Antiquities War. If you cast The Antiquities War the turn after you've already cast Approach of the Second Sun, then the next card you'll draw is Approach of the Second Sun.

Neat stuff:

Sorcerous Spyglass + Whir of Invention allows for one to get spyglass during you opponents draw phase or in response to key threats.

Icy Manipulator + Mechanized Production when you put both of these together it feels really great, and after 2 or 3 turns with these you can basically lock your opponent out of the game.

Fall of the Thran + Sentinel Totem allows you to exile all of your opponents lands post Fall of the Thran. Please note that Sentinel Totem will exile your cards as well.
