Captain's Log: Stardate 813.67

The following is a list of Mono Red Artifact shenanigans with which there are an unbelievable amount of combos and infinite combos. Various numbers of these interactions have been recorded for further research and testing.

Don't be afraid of the price of this deck. Dropping the Mishra's Workshop shaves off $1000.00.

How to Lose Friends:

Karn, Silver Golem + Liquimetal Coating = Kill your opponents land
Hellkite Tyrant + Mycosynth Lattice = Steal your opponents permanents
Mycosynth Lattice + Vandalblast = Destroy your opponents permanents
Darksteel Forge + Mycosynth Lattice + Nevinyrral's Disk = Destroy your opponent's permanents leaving yours intact

Create Infinite Mana:

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth and 2 mana to copy the untap ability = Infinite Colorless Mana

Dross Scorpion + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Myr Turbine = Infinite Colorless Mana

Everflowing Chalice + Rings of Brighthearth + Voltaic Key with Chalice at atleast 4 counters = Infinite Colorless Mana

Gilded Lotus + Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient + Voltaic Key to copy the untap ability = Infinite Red Mana and Infinite Untaps of Artifacts, combine this with Liquimetal Coating or Mycosynth Lattice to be able to untap everything you control.

What to do when you have Infinite Mana and/or Untaps:

Sacrifice Spine of Ish Sah to Krark-Clan Ironworks or Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer and continuously play it.
Get infinite turns with Magistrate's Scepter
Blow your opponent up with Bonfire of the Damned or Devil's Play
Create infinite tokens with Mimic Vat or Titan Forge
Control your Opponent indefinitely Mindslaver + Prototype Portal
Win the game Contagion Engine + Darksteel Reactor or use Coretapper

Bad Combos, a.k.a. stars align combos

Goblin Welder + Dross Scorpion + Liquimetal Coating + Contagion Engine in the graveyard.
1. Turn Goblin Welder into an artifact with Liquimetal Coating.
2. Sacrifice Liquimetal Coating to Goblin Welder to bring back Contagion Engine.
3. Untap Goblin Welder with Dross Scorpion ability.
4. Sacrifice Contagion Engine to Goblin Welder to bring back Liquimetal Coating
5 Repeat steps 2-4 until the enemy board is wiped.
5a. Switch Contagion Engine with Myr Battlesphere to create infinite Myr Tokens. Or Myr Retriever to bring all the artifacts from your graveyard to your hand. If you decide to add in a Duplicant You can exile your enemy's board of creatures.

Honestly there are so many good interactions that it would be really hard to list them all. If you have a nice interaction that I don't see or I haven't listed, please feel free to leave a comment about it!
