Inspired by a someone posted on r/EDH shortly after Gyome, Master Chef was first spoiled, this is an Artifact-focused build of Gyome. The aim is to either win through the Cauldron Familiar + Witch's Oven combo, or to use cost reduction to loop Myr Retriever effects with Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks and kill the table with something like Disciple of the Vault .

Besides those two main strategies, there is a lifegain sub-section to the deck due to Food tokens being sacrificed to gain life. This is paid off with Sanguine Bond and Dina, Soul Steeper , but also utilises the likes of Veinwitch Coven and Ezzaroot Channeler . Beyond that, the inclusion of Cranial Plating and Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest allow the deck to effectively utilise combat if required.

Cat Oven combo: Cauldron Familiar + Witch's Oven + Parallel Lives + Clock of Omens This combo works by saccing the Cat to the Oven to generate one Food, doubled to two by Parallel Lives. These Foods are tapped to active Clock and untap Oven, before one Food is then sacced to recur the Cat and repeat the process. This eventually kills the table due to Cat's EtB. Academy Manufactor can sub in for Parallel Lives, as it turns each Cat death into three Artifact tokens, two of which can be used to untap Oven and keep the process going. This does also allow you to generate infinite mana if you leave the Treasure tokens untapped, but as you'll be killing the table anyway with Cat's EtB this is fairly redundant (unless you're up against a Platinum Emperion or something to that effect).

Retriever loop combo: Any two Myr Retriever effects (e.g. Junk Diver and Retriever) + a cost reduction effect (e.g. Foundry Inspector ) + Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks + Disciple of the Vault This combo works by using a cost reduction effect to reduce Myr Retriever, Junk Diver and Workshop Assistant down to costing two mana or less, then saccing one to Altar/KCI to return the other to hand and generate the mana required to cast it. This provides infinite EtB and death triggers, but needs a payoff such as Disciple or Marionette Master to drain the table and win the game. If Myr Retriever is one of the two cards being looped, or if more than one cost reduction effect is out at the same time, this combo can also generate infinite colourless mana, though the deck currently lacks a payoff for that (as the idea is to be killing with Disciple or Marionette at that point). This can also generate infinite Food tokens at the end step if Gyome is out, and plenty can be done with that if needed.

These combos require a lot of pieces and leave ample opportunities for opponents to interrupt them, but that fits the power level of my meta by making the deck strong but fair to play against, rather than relying on two-card combos to win.

This is currently the first draft of the deck, and I'm sure many changes will be made as playtesting exposes different strengths and weaknesses. Any and all constructive suggestions on that front are welcomed and appreciated.
