Innovation Through Iteration

Here at Breya, Equipment Shapers Inc. we can make any number of artifacts and turn them into effective weapons. We have diversified from shaping thopters out of etherium, and now also work mirrors, recycle dragonskulls into thrones, forge battle-axes from blood, process Anointed, assemble powerstone shards, and provide a home for self-replicators to self-replicate.

Mirrorworks, Prototype Portal, and Cogwork Assembler are used for the mass production of artifacts, especially with Anointed Procession and Panharmonicon.

Clock of Omens lets us untap Prototype Portal to make more prototypes by tapping equipment or thopters, potentially infinite with two Anointed Processions and a Sol Ring or Mana Crypt. How do we get more than one Anointed Procession you ask? By using Mirage Mirror or Mycosynth Lattice and other copying effects, of course.

Hammer of Nazahn and Puresteel Paladin make all those extra equipment free to equip.

Bloodforged Battle-Axe multiplies after combat. Puresteel Paladin also draws a card for each extra axe we make.

Mycosynth Lattice allows us to use colorless mana from Ashnod's Altar, Krark-Clan Ironworks, and Mana Echoes to pay for everything. Mycosynth Lattice combined with Darksteel Forge and Padeem, Consul of Innovation protect all our assets. Mycosynth Lattice + Vandalblast destroys all our competitors' assets. Mirrorworks + Mycosynth Lattice lets us replicate anything.

Bludgeon Brawl then turns all artifacts into equipment, so we can draw more cards with Puresteel Paladin, and wield the Bident of Thassa. Bludgeon Brawl + Mycosynth Lattice allows us to wield our trillions of copies of Anointed Procession. Please refer to the following section describing our patented industrial processes for achieving such high output.

Sitting on the Dragon Throne of Tarkir while wearing Cranial Plating turns our Thopters from fighters into Death Stars. Akroma's Memorial lets us activate abilities and attack with the Thopters right away. Illusionist's Bracers and Rings of Brighthearth copy our abilities.

Anointed Procession, Panharmonicon, Rite of Replication, Sharding Sphinx, Thopter Spy Network, Blade of Selves, Cogwork Assembler, Mishra's Self-Replicator, and Eldrazi Displacer help us manufacture more Thopters and Assembly-Workers.

Marionette Master makes our competitors lose life when our machines are destroyed, especially with Cranial Plating on the Master. Altar of the Brood chips away at competitors' patents.

Metalworker, Vault of Catlacan, Mana Echoes, Ashnod's Altar, Krark-Clan Ironworks, and Grand Architect help us generate lots of mana. Puresteel Paladin with Paradise Mantle lets all our workers produce mana, with Swiftfoot Boots allowing even new employees to contribute immediately.

Etherium Sculptor and Semblance Anvil streamline our costs.

Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain, Vedalken Archmage, Puresteel Paladin, Sram, Senior Edificer, Bident of Thassa, Skullclamp, Thopter Spy Network, Padeem, Consul of Innovation, and Coveted Jewel restock our supply chain.

Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor help us source any missing components.

Open the Vaults, Academy Ruins, and Sharuum the Hegemon recycle our scrap materials.

Darksteel Forge, Darksteel Plate, Hammer of Nazahn, Swiftfoot Boots, Akroma's Memorial, Padeem, Consul of Innovation, and Leonin Abunas protect our assets.

Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle or Krark-Clan Ironworks can generate infinite mana and Thopters by sacrificing Breya and 1 Thopter then reanimating her.

Eldrazi Displacer + Mana Echoes or Cogwork Assembler + Mana Echoes makes infinite mana and Thopters by blinking or copying Breya.

Cogwork Assembler + Powerstone Shard produces infinite mana and shards if we start off with 17 mana and 1 untapped shard, 10 mana and 2 untapped shards, or 3 mana and 3 untapped shards, which are equivalent states.

  1. With 17 mana and 1 untapped Powerstone Shard, activate Cogwork Assembler to make the 2nd shard.

  2. With 10 mana and 2 untapped shards, activate Cogwork Assembler again to make the 3rd shard.

  3. With 3 untapped shards and 3 mana, tap 2 shards for 6 mana and make a 4th shard.

  4. Tap 2 shards for 8 mana to make the 5th shard with 3 mana leftover.

  5. From there, tapping each new shard will provide sufficient mana to activate Cogwork Assembler.

  6. Infinite mana then allows the Cogwork Assemblers to assemble infinite Assemblers to attack right away.

This can be done more cheaply with Anointed Procession or Illusionist's Bracers, reducing the cost to 7 mana with 1 untapped shard. Rings of Brighthearth reduces the cost to 9 mana with 1 untapped shard. Paradox Engine with any spells to cast also reduces the initial cost requirement.

Cogwork Assembler + Metalworker makes infinite mana and workers with 4 or more artifacts in hand.

Crafting more Coveted Jewels can help us withdraw more blueprints from our library so we can build the exact machine we need. Crafting about 30 Coveted Jewels will deter attacks from competitors since they will bankrupt themselves by stealing the jewels.

Prototype Portal with Clock of Omens makes infinite artifacts with two Anointed Processions and a Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Powerstone Shard, or Metalworker.

Phyrexian Metamorph + Sharuum the Hegemon or Sculpting Steel + Sharuum the Hegemon creates an infinite damage combo with Reckless Fireweaver or Marionette Master and infinite mana with Mana Echoes.

How many Anointed Processions or other products can we mass produce?

  1. Build an assembly line with Mycosynth Lattice and Mirrorworks. For optimal efficiency, add Panharmonicon and Mirage Mirror modules. Activate Mirage Mirror to mirror the Panharmonicon.

  2. Cast Anointed Procession. Mirrorworks triggers 3 times with 2 Panharmonicons. The first trigger makes 2 copies of the Procession, the second trigger makes 8 more copies, and the third trigger makes 2048 copies, so we have a total of 2059 Anointed Processions.

  3. Follow up with a Sculpting Steel sculpting Anointed Procession to make 2^2059 Processions with the first Mirrorworks trigger, 2^2^2059 with the second trigger, and 2^2^2059 with the third trigger, a pretty good return for a 17 mana investment. We can also make equally large numbers of any other artifacts we wish.

  4. With Prototype Portal to make prototypes of Sculpting Steel, Phyrexian Metamorph, or Masterwork of Ingenuity, Clock of Omens can tap two of the tokens created to untap Prototype Portal, and some of the other tokens can copy mana-producing artifacts, so we can produce infinite artifacts.

  5. Engage in combat with all the Processions and other weapons equipped thanks to Bludgeon Brawl and Puresteel Paladin or Hammer of Nazahn. Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer can also engineer those tokens into any other token, such as Cranial Platings or Grand Architects or Marionette Masters or Sharding Sphinxes.

Vedalken Archmage, Sram, Senior Edificer, Puresteel Paladin, or Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain + Words of Wind can bounce all our competitors' assets while repeatedly bouncing and casting our cheap artifacts or equipment. With two or more of them, this process also restocks our inventory. Reckless Fireweaver or Altar of the Brood can eliminate our competitors at the same time.

Ashnod's Altar, Krark-Clan Ironworks, or Mana Echoes pays for unlimited self-replication of Mishra's Self-Replicators.

Spine of Ish Sah with Paradox Engine and Panharmonicon or Mirrorworks can destroy all our competitors' assets by destroying another target and then scrapping itself so we can cast it again, as long as Paradox Engine can untap 7 mana. Sculpting Steel, Phyrexian Metamorph, Etherium Sculptor and/or Semblance Anvil can make this process a lot more affordable. Masterwork of Ingenuity with Bludgeon Brawl reduces the cost to just 1 mana. This process also resupplies us if Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain or Vedalken Archmage are present to supervise.
