So!!! Day 1 of playtesting has been a wonderful experience with Breya!
Which means now i know what it needs...REACTIVE ANSWERS, spot removal, draw power, and being able to end the game if a threat(s) arrives.
The deck has TOO much its trying to do that a simple spot removal or wheel effect can shut me down for a few turns and i need to be able to stabalize or react to things of that nature.
Under performers of the deck:
So what i need to do is figure out what to replace for effects of the natire above.

I see the issue with Thopter Assembly and Time Sieve is probably not efficient enough because you'd have to tutor both of them out. Probably the same for Sword of the Meek and Thopter Foundry
In replacement of Blightsteel Colossus, are you looking for another big man? Potentially Platinum Emperion to lock your life total in?
Maybe in place of Cathartic Reunion, something that also gives good draw, Brainstorm, Night's Whisper, potentially Sign in Blood? Mind's Eye is also good if you have spare mana left over (that you wont need for responses) when others draw, and its an artifact. Reforge the Soul maybe?
And what were you thinking about replacing Hellkite Tyrant with? Another creature? Maybe Balefire Dragon for board control?

Something that could make Time Sieve more valuable is Second Sunrise and/or Faith's Reward. This could seriously combo with Mycosynth Lattice as well. Make everything an artifact, sacrifice as many as possible to take a bunch of extra turns, then bring them all back. You have enough tutors, and draw power, to possibly make that a viable combo.

That sounds like it would be fun (and annoying for the opponents), but Time Sieve requires tapping to take place, unless its paired with Clock of Omens to untap it, and only sacrificing your tapped artifacts. Maybe Time Reversal would help with that, but TR is probably too slow for the deck.
I deck tested this today against my friend's Atraxa, Praetors' Voice deck, and I may have kept a bad hand, but that thing demolished.

Adding Dross Scorpion to the combo I mentioned above could supplement the tapping part, however that would probably be too many cards for a combo, being that artifacts are broken as it is. Like the deck overall man.

I had plenty of board pressence, and honestly i think that was the problem. I may have to include a Darksteel Forge to help with cards my opponents play from stopping certain combos. Forge plus Padeem just seems powerful protection.
Does anyone know of a non green card that prevents my opponents from making me sacrifice my own permanents?

Since most sacrifice spells are target player, maybe Orbs of Warding?
If its a creature or an artifact thats causing it (and for board control anyways), Linvala, Keeper of Silence?

Really i need to stop triggered abilities, might have to throw in a Stifle or Trickbind. Idk though...
November 5, 2016 1:15 p.m.
Pheardemons says... #12
What kind of triggered abilities? Torpor Orb could be a great one as it is an artifact.

Torpor Orb shuts us down.
My playgroup has a habit of using annihilator alot and thats a problem for me.

Yup, i do believe every instant in the deck is a target for the scepter

If you're now running Aetherflux Reservoir is it worth it to include Sydri, Galvanic Genius? It adds another combo to the deck, if you give the reservoir lifelink you can deal 50 to anything and everything.

KailDaemon says... #18
I dont really see how sydri and reservoir combo other than making it a 4/4 lifelink and deathtouch creature that slowly helps you gain life to use the activated ability.
Reservoir is just a place holder until i find something more useful. Until then its just another small win con with breya cuz who cares if you gain life if an opponents combos and kills you anyway? Whoops lemme just flash in a reservoir and kill you in reaponse :3
Janky shenans for now until i find a much stronger combo or synergy card

In all honesty i might just add the Sculpting Steel back in the deck to replace Aetherflux Reservoir
November 6, 2016 1:03 p.m.
Pyroclastic says... #20
If you make the reservoir a creature and give the reservoir lifelink, when it deals damage you gain back the 50 life you spend to activate it, letting you activate it again. You just need the 50 life to start, then you deal infinite damage.

@KailDaemon I think Sculpting Steel would be beneficial to the deck as a replacement. If Mycosynth Lattice is on the battlefield, we can copy anything we deem necessary.
and
@Pyroclastic we do know how the combo works...

Check out the update "Never give up"
Game 1: Vs Atraxa
Game 2: Vs Atraxa and Yidris
Both players were top notch players and my mentors. Stomped them wonderfully

Yea, ultimately. They just didnt perform well and were mostly dead.
And those games were sick fun.

Training Grounds just wasnt necessary since i kept netting mana anyway, and Trinket Mage was really only useful for grabbing Sol Ring or Mana Crypt. So eh.
Spine of Ish Sah actually boardwiped while i kept sacing it and thopters to Krark-Clan Ironworks and won me a game. Fabricate is basically another Demonic Tutor in this build so consistency.
Also sadly ive never seen that video, the title was mainly for inspiration and also showing off how breya can bounce back from a reset. Those games i played were literally at a small Waffle House diner at like 9pm last night. Just BSing around

polonium231 says... #1
Nice. I'm pretty sure I just kept a bad hand anyways. And good luck man. So hype for the commanders.
