I made this dumb concept for a deck when I saw Refurbish and it seemed like it could be a pretty fun deck so I decided to flesh it out and post it here.

The basic idea is to mill yourself with cards like Pieces of the Puzzle and Grapple with the Past and getting your big creatures in the graveyard, before using Refurbish to cheat out Gearhulks at 4 mana each. Ever After serves as an even bigger recursion mechanic, able to bring in 2 Gearhulks at once for a massive swing in board presence.

There's a lot of options with the deck but I'll cover some of the other options here

• Splendid Reclamation is amazing but it doesn't have an immediate impact so I decided it would be too slow in a deck designed to hit a power curve on turn 4
• Metalwork Colossus Is huge but he can easily be chump blocked and getting off his ability is difficult/impossible/just not worth it in this deck
• Panharmonicon has been excluded for the same reason as Splendid Reclamation; very powerful but too slow
• Verdurous Gearhulk and Combustible Gearhulk Can technically be used in the deck as they're never hard cast, I just didn't include them because in my opinion they are not as strong in the deck as the other, more controlling options of the Esper Hulks (although the gimmick of running 5 colour Gearhulks is amazing and I kinda want to try it tbh)

I have no real intentions to build this deck but it's fun to theorycraft it. Leave any suggestions below and I'll answer as soon as possible <3
