This is a Sydri Combo Deck. Inside there are a variety of Infinite Mana Combos, and my favorite Esper Combo!

This deck has two game plans, the first of which is somehow gain a source of infinite mana, be it colored or colorless. This is done through a variety of means...

WITHOUT SYDRI ON THE BOARD:

Power Artifact + Basalt Monolith/Grim Monolith

Metalworker + Staff of Domination + Any three artifacts in hand

Clock of Omens + Staff of Domination & Phyrexian Metamorph /Sculpting Steel + Gilded Lotus/Grim Monolith/Basalt Monolith/ Thran Dynamo

WITH SYDRI ON THE BOARD:

Training Grounds + Animated Basalt Monolith/Grim Monolith

Voltaic Construct + Animated Basalt Monolith/Grim Monolith/ Thran Dynamo /Gilded Lotus

Training Grounds + Animated Gilded Lotus + Staff of Domination

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL THIS MANA?

Well, you can do a lot of things, actually.

DRAW A TON OF CARDS:

Staff of Domination/Stroke of Genius/ Sphinx's Revelation /Prophet of Distortion with Laboratory Maniac

KILL SOMEONE BY MAKING THEM DRAW CARDS:

Blue Sun's Zenith/Stroke of Genius

KILL THE WHOLE TABLE:

Exsanguinate/ Dimensional Infiltrator

WHAT IF THE TABLE IS KEEN TO YOUR SHENANIGANS?

Fortunately this deck can win without the combos listed above. This combo below is game plan #2.

Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek + Krark-Clan Ironworks

This allows you as much colorless mana, as you could want, and life, and 1/1 Thopters. You CAN use this combo as a source of infinite mana generation, but this is best used to win the game on the spot. You can do this with either:

Bitter Ordeal, Disciple of the Vault. Time Sieve

ALRIGHT, COOL, BUT HOW DO YOU ASSEMBLE THESE DOOMSDAY MACHINES?

I'm glad you asked. This deck is packed with a collection of tutors and premium card draw to get you the cards you need, when you need them.

SO TELL ME ABOUT THESE TUTORS!

Okay.

Transmute Artifact, Reshape , Fabricate all grab any artifact you need. Enlightened Tutor can grab an artifact, or one of your draw/combo enchantments. Muddle the Mixture allows you to grab any 2 CMC card, and there are 17 possible targets. Vampiric Tutor and Demonic Tutor allow you to grab anything. Mystical Tutor will snatch you a counter or a refill spell when you need it.

AND CARD DRAW?

Getting a Rhystic Study or Mystic Remora out early is a wonderful feeling. Necropotence is great by itself, but is split wide open with Reliquary Tower.Fact or Fiction explains itself. Telling Time and Brainstorm help dig. Scroll Rack and Sensei's Divining Top Smooth out your draw and make your games a lot more enjoyable. Works well in tandem with the 14 shuffle effects present in the deck, and will only get better after I get the last remaining fetch lands.

WHAT'S THE SCEPTER DOING HERE?

There are 12 instants that cost 2 or less in this deck.

SO WHAT DO I DO TO PROTECT MYSELF?

There's a suite of control magic built in the deck to remove threats from the board, or even prevent them from hitting the board.

Merciless Eviction and Austere Command are extremely versatile. Cyclonic Rift Just read it.

Vindicate and Anguished Unmaking are excellent spells, with the latter being an instant exile as well.

Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile are there to deal with problem creatures.

Yawgmoth's Will let's you cast it all again!

And the counter magic:

Swan Song, Force of Will , Pact of Negation, Mana Drain, Muddle the Mixture

Thank you for checking the deck out!

P.S. Mycosynth Lattice + Sydri. Do it. I dare you.

SIDEBOARD

These are all cards that were once mainboard, that have use on the sideboard.

All Is Dust is a great wipe spell to clear a board of colored permanents, and I substitute this in when I run against decks with a lot of Indestructible creatures or effects.

Darksteel Forge and Nevinyrral's Disk are here to complete a combo with Mycosynth Lattice . While the Lattice has plenty of use on it's own as an enabler to some cool stuff, Forge can be difficult to get out, and the Disk was hard to warrant using outside of the combo.

Memory Jar is for draw, obviously.

Mindslaver is subbed in when I do a one-on-one to get that sweet Mindslaver lock combo.

Torpor Orb is great against creature heavy decks with lots of ETB effects.

Capsize is there for when I need to get more control over the board.

Desertion is there to screw over Narset and some other degenerate generals.

Baleful Strix Just because. (It's a pet card and the alter I have for it is gorgeous.)

New Stuff

Testing out Dramatic Reversal in place of Telling Time. Dramatic Reversal allows for even more ways to combo, and goes infinite on an Isochron Scepter with a Sol Ring and any other rock that produces a mana. Definitely worth looking into.
