Decoptercons, or Robocopters? I think I finally have the preferred playstyle down, but please make any suggestions for things I might've missed. General idea is to be able to switch between aggro and tempo to get good replayability out of this deck.

UR artifacts Tempo/Aggro list. Create threats with Ensoul artifact, make tokens to empower Metalcraft and crew copters, and/or to Improvise out some spells. Whir of Intervention to find Skysovereign as finisher or missing pieces.

Try to use Key to the City and otherwise useless artifacts (Ghostfire Blades, Servo Schematics) for ensoul targets and/or improvise costs. Key to the City is especially good for this as you can draw a card afterwards when it untaps without discarding first! Servo Schematic is the ideal target for Shrapnel Blast, though Shrapnel Blast can also be used to sacrifice something that would die to removal and protects against name-based removal of your tokens, as it removes the 'target' for that spell. Ghostfire can be tapped without impacting its base function, when ensouled it cannot be equipped, but as a 1 mana artifact it will not have summoning sickness when Ensouled on turn 2.

Use thopters and copters to bombard your opponents life total while you blast anything coming down on their board. If you get a Whir of Invention, call in the mothership Skysovereign, Consul Flagship to finish quickly while controlling the board. A Smuggler's Copter or Ghostfire'd token can crew it easily, and if you have a Thopter Engineer out, you can swing insanely hard.

Pia Nalaar has a decent mana sink and evasion for the later game and just makes a token early. Thopter Engineer does the token thing too, but also gives haste making you a very scary opponent that could just drop a Skysovereign out of nowhere.

Can easily transfer into a more aggressive token beatdown version by swapping in Chief of the Foundry, Maverick Thopterist and Shrapnel Blast, over Metallic Rebuke, Galvanic Blast and Whir of Invention (for example). Bomat Courier can be good too in both the Tempo and the Aggro version for refilling your hand later on and a little early aggression.Reverse Engineer can replace one of the Ghostfire Blades or with 2 additional cards can replace the Skysovereign, Consul Flagship + Whir of Invention combo for more general card draw with less colored mana requirement, though I advise leaving it in as a potential finisher.
