Commander is Sydri, Galvanic Genius. She can turn my artifacts into things that will make good attacks/blocks. The plan is to overwhelm the opponent with these political artifacts that can become creatures at any time, all the while trying to either beat down the opponent, or assemble a combo. One combo is Mycosynth Lattice with my commander to pick off opponent's lands, or I could have March of the Machines + Mycosynth Lattice for a land-wipe. There is also the classic Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry , and Thopter Assembly + Time Sieve . A fun interaction is to give Aetherflux Reservoir deathtouch/lifelink and hit each player with 50 points of damage, getting it back each time via the lifelink.

Please note that a lot of the cards in my sideboard/maybeboard are strictly better than cards in the main deck. some in the side I have purchased and I'm waiting for them to arrive. Cards in the maybeboard or either one's I am genuinely confused as to if they are good, OR I know they are good and I have yet to purchase them. In other words, I already know how to make the deck better, just you wait.

EDIT: So unfortunately or fortunately, whichever way you look at it, this deck has kind of become a lockdown deck. It so far has pretty consistently been able to stalemate other people until it has the ability to combo off, unlike the original intention of making good quality expensive artifacts into beaters and smacking the opponents. In fact, I'm finding that the Commander, although useful for sniping players with Caltrops, Aetherflux resevior, and other things like that, I'm finding more success with lockdown strategies like the wiping lands with Micosynth Lattice + March of the Machines (Because usually whenever I bring out the commander it is easy pickings for opponents); or wipes using Scourglass and others, or shenanigans with Darksteel Forge (and say, Nevinyrral's Disk or Platinum Angel). While it wasn't my intention to create a deck like this at first and at times it isn't fun to play, I find enjoyment that a deck I created can live to great potential. The addition of Unwinding Clock + Winter Orb are already powerful on their own, and create a synergy with Mycosynth Lattice which is completely broken and unfortunately will further piss off people whom the deck is already pissing off; and therefore I might keep it in the sideboard unless I really want to go all out. Because of the deck's power I've stopped upgrading it, and prefer to keep the relatively slow manabase. Suggestions are still welcome.

If you are completely evil and deranged but still want to have an interesting deck, this deck is probably for you. I feel more and more that this is the spirit of esper itself... to continue to work your strategy, ignoring completely what's going on around you until you completely lock your adversaries out of the game and win in one foul swoop. :( I hate you, but I love you
