Budget Budget Budget!!!

Play around generating and sacrificing artifacts until you're in a position to end somebody out of nowhere! The deck looks pretty janky overall, but there are a few sneaky and powerful synergies hidden in the machine. Really, it's just a lot of fun mixing and matching and reusing and reducing and recycling all the tools in the deck!

Reduce: pretty straightforward here, Etherium Sculptor , Foundry Inspector , and Chief Engineer make casting God-Pharaoh's Statue and Thopter Assembly a breeze. Note that there are several artifacts like Armillary Sphere or Renegade Map that don't actually ramp you, but rather keep your (untapped) land drops on track, which is great given how few we're running and how many come in tapped.

Reuse: Any Thopters or Servos generated, as well as artifacts like Mycosynth Wellspring , Servo Schematic , or Sphere of the Suns , serve as excellent sacrifices for Thopter Foundry , Metalwork Collossus, and Time Sieve . Even Clue tokens get in on the fun with Confirm Suspicions and Tamiyo's Journal ! Wreck: It's easy to whip out your wrecking ball cards when needed, including but not limited to Marionette Master and Dance of the Manse . Note the Pili-Pala / Grand Architect infinite mana combo, which works well with Ethersworn Adjudicator , as well as Hangarback Walker and Master Trinketeer into Sai, Master Thopterist or Herald of Anguish .

Sydri, Galvanic Genius is useful, kinda, but her real purpose in this deck is to act as a deterrent. With her, you can front that you'll always have access to a creature and/or deathtouch, and in a pinch, the lifegain is nice. I suppose you could turn an opponent's pesky artifact into a creature and kill it with creature removal, but that's pushing into Magical Christmasland.
