This is my Brudiclad EDH deck.

The goal of this deck is to control the board while establishing a token base until you can bring out Brudiclad and turn those tokens into a massive threat that attack multiple combat phases in a row or even multiple turns in a row.

Depths of Desire and Hornswoggle help us out in early turns, setting our opponents back and granting us treasure tokens which we can use to ramp or hold back to turn them into threats later when Brudiclad is out. We ramp via artifacts like Izzet Cluestone + Izzet Locket + Izzet Signet and generate treasures with Captain Lannery Storm or Seize the Spoils. Casting our mana Artifacts generates value in form of Card Draw or Tokens with Efficient Construction + Mirrodin Besieged .

In later turns we can set up different strategies to finish our opponents.
1. Copying big threats
Copying a Scuttling Doom Engine via Saheeli Rai or Cackling Counterpart and then turning all our thopters, servos, Myr and treasures into more engines is a good protection against wraths since nobody wants to take x times 6 damage to the face. Bane of Bala Ged provides us with a kind of mass removal if we can successfully copy it. Utvara Hellkite is just insane if we can combo it off. Imagine just having three Hellkites on the battlefield and attacking with them, giving you nine 6/6 dragon tokens which you can turn into Hellkites on your next turn giving you even more tokens etc. Or copy your opponent's Eldrazi with Mimic Vat or Rite of Replication.
2. Copying extra phases and turns
Copying a Combat Celebrant or a Lightning Runner can grant us infinite combat phases under the right circumstances since Brudiclad creates a hasty token at the beginning of each combat which we can then turn into one of the forementioned. Same goes for Timestream Navigator which will even grant us infinite turns.

I hope this list gives you inspiration for your own Brudiclad build.
