"If we all reacted the same way, we'd be predictable, and there's always more than one way to view a situation... It's simple: overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death."

When I started designing this, I didn't really know how to approach doing a Breya, Etherium Shaper build. I kind of just went off of some different combos that would work with her colors but focused more on synergy. Still trying to tweak a bit but I'd love to try this with a few EDH games to figure out how to interact with real people and different EDH decks.

There are a number of combos in this deck, so the results can be varied.

The Play

This deck can work without Breya, Etherium Shaper, but you can capitalize on her Thopters to enable many of the other cards' abilities.

Combos and Synergy:

• Karn, the Great Creator + Mycosynth Lattice: This creates a hard lock for your opponents's permanents for the rest of the game... including lands. You can also slowly kill off lands if you want by using Karn's +1 ability. If you get Null Rod instead, be ready to swing with an army of Thopters to win.
• Narset, Parter of Veils + Teferi's Puzzle Box: No more card draw for opponents. (Narset keeps opponents only drawing one card, but when the Box kicks off, the new hand counts as card draw.)
• Darksteel Forge + Nevinyrral's Disk + Mycosynth Lattice: Repeatable wipe for everyone else.
• Time Sieve + Thopter Assembly: Infinite turns. Cast the Assy, get your thopters next turn... then sac the thopters for an extra turn AND recast the Assy again. On your next extra turn, repeat.
• Unwinding Clock + Planar Bridge / Planar Portal + mana rocks: Constant tutoring each turn.
• Eldrazi Displacer + Breya, Etherium Shaper: Constant Thopters for a small flying weenie army or artifact sac fodder.
• Breya, Etherium Shaper + Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks + Nim Deathmantle: Infinite Thopters. Sac Breya and a Thopter to the Altar, then use the mana to bring her back using Nim Deathmantle. Rinse and repeat. If you have a Disciple of the Vault or a Reckless Fireweaver, you win.
• Breya, Etherium Shaper + Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks + Eldrazi Displacer: Infinite colorless mana if you sac your Thopters to the Altar. If you have a Disciple of the Vault or a Reckless Fireweaver, you win.
• Goblin Welder + Spine of Ish Sah + any artifact: Permanent destruction and cheating in your chosen artifact. Use the Welder to cheat the Spine in, if you want. When the Spine is on the battlefield, target that and any other artifact you want to cheat into play. You sac the Spine to return it to your hand, and get a freebie artifact.
• Bident of Thassa or Skullclamp or Thopter Spy Network + Thopters: Card advantage.

There are plenty of tutors to grab key pieces to establish a hard lock, and there's a decent amount of cards to capitalize on making a Thopter army.

There are plenty of card advantage cards that can help you draw and discard artifacts to reanimate them later. Daretti, Scrap Savant really helps with this, and keep in mind... even if you don't want to, you can still use his +2 to just bolster his loyalty count.

You have a few cards that can help with speeding things up for you and slowing everyone else down. Padeem, Consul of Innovation helps protect your artifacts, and Etherium Sculptor will help bring artifacts out faster. Grand Arbiter Augustin IV will help you and tax others.

Ertai, Wizard Adept can help with countering game-changing spells. Ethersworn Adjudicator, Nevinyrral's Disk, and Spine of Ish Sah are there for repeatable permanent control. Codex Shredder can help bring back your Instants and Sorceries, especially Cyclonic Rift.

Sen Triplets is really there just for fun.

The Weaknesses

Still testing. I've lost a few XMage games due to drawing too many lands and not enough utility.
