This is a deck that I made to pay homage to one of my favourite cards from Kaladesh: Panharmonicon!

When I first saw the card, I wasn't super impressed with it. But as time went, on I saw the light and began to revel in the glory that is the Panharmonicon. And at that point, the idea of this deck began to take shape...

Please +1 if you like it!

Here's a quick breakdown of the deck so far:

CREATURES: Show

Hedron Crawler: While this doesn't benefit from Panharmonicon, we desperately need something to early on, and it helps us cast our more expensive cards and trigger Eldrazi Displacer's ability. Plus, it's the only mana-dork in our colours :P

Glint-Nest Crane: These help to get your first Panharmonicon! And after you get your first, they definitely help you get your second and your third :)

Reflector Mage: The ultimate ETB effect in Standard. This acts like a creature AND a removal spell, and Panharmonicon only makes this card better.

Eldrazi Displacer: This card retriggers ETB effects and can save your creatures from targeted removal. Plus I really like this card and it took A LOT for me to take out the 4th copy.

Gonti, Lord of Luxury: I really really like this card, and I mean REALLY like this card (my 2nd favourite card in Kaladesh). I think the ETB is super strong, it's power and toughness is almost perfect and deathtouch is a very relevant into the later game.

Cloudblazer: Possibly the strongest ETB in the deck. If you have just one Panharmonicon, you draw FOUR cards and gain FOUR life. I mean, enough said.

Linvala, the Preserver: If you have at lest one Panharmonicon and you are losing horribly, THIS is the card you want to see. For six mana you get: a 5/5 flyer, two 3/3 flyers and gain 10 life.

Noxious Gearhulk: Where Linvala is the 6-drop you want if you're behind, this is the one you want if you're ahead or at parity. Destroy one (or hopefully more) of their blockers, gain a bit of life and get a very nice creature too. As an added bonus, you can fetch it off of Glint-Nest Crane's trigger.

ARTIFACTS: Show

Panharmonicon: The central piece of this deck! With so many creatures with strong ETB effects, this card HAS to be powerful. Once you get the first one out, this deck becomes so much much better than it was before. And unlike some other centrepiece cards, multiples of this card get even better.

Skysovereign, Consul Flagship: I think A LOT of decks are going to play one or two of these. Playing this can kill a creature or hopefully pick off a pesky planeswalker, and you do it again once it attacks. I think it's powerful enough to tap a creature to turn this on. Two creatures, that might be a bit too steep. A potential cut from our deck, as we don't have many creatures with 3 power or greater, and the ones we do have are ones we don't really want to tap down for this.

PLANESWALKERS: Show

Dovin Baan: The deck needed something to help slow down aggro decks and to gain some card advantage in the early game, and Dovin fits the bill. I considered putting Liliana, the Last Hope in instead, but Dovin's +1 is more useful with the "activated abilty" line and his -1 is better card advantage, plus he is a bit easier to cast. However, I can be swayed either way :)

SORCERIES: Show

Collective Brutality & Declaration in Stone: The inclusion of both of these comes down to the following: I have these cards and I think they are good. If there are any recommendations for replacements, I am more than happy to listen :)

SPECIAL LANDS: Show

These cards give us the colourless (I'm Australian, forgive the spelling) mana for Eldrazi Displacer.

Inventors' Fair: This card helps us to search for a Panharmonicon or a Noxious Gearhulk we might need and might be able to give us some incidental life gain.

Aether Hub: Just some good mana fixing, which we need in our three-coloured deck!

I am open to any recommendations!

Some other cards I was considering for the deck are here: Show

Always Watching : to help boost my all my low powered creatures, so get in for a bit more damage in the early game.

Electrostatic Pummeler: a VERY big maybe. I feel like this is terrible, but it does give us energy to help mana-fixing with Aether Hub or to boost itself?

Spell Queller, with Essence Flux and Wasteland Strangler: these three kind of go hand in hand. Friends have told me that this deck would be great with the Queller + Strangler combo, but there are already so many 3-drops that I'm unsure what to cut for it :SAlso, Essence Flux would work well in the deck, but with Spell Queller it would be even better.

Liliana, the Last Hope: potential replacement for Dovin Baan, or to include beside him. Mainly just for value

Saheeli's Artistry: I can potentially make another Panharmonicon and duplicate a creature with a strong ETB.

Also, right now I don't think the deck has any win conditions, except maybe Noxious Gearhulk and Linvala, the Preserver, and I'm not sure what to put into the sideboard? Counterspells maybe?

Also, I am always pretty bad at constructing mana bases, so any help there is welcome!
