Sydri EDH build, not 100% finished, but getting there.

Combo based deck mainly, taking advantage of synergies between artifacts to cause degenerate board states. Looking for improvements, not just links to other builds. My standard rules for EDH are anything that stops people playing Magic is not in; this is why the obvious Paradox Engine, Counterspell and Isochron Sceptor combo is not here.

Sydri's obvious BFF, Caltrops is here, stalling the board nicely.

Leonin Abunas and Padeem, Consul of Innovation are solid protection though Sydri herself can be vulnerable, which is why we run Swiftfoot Boots.

Xathrid Gorgon is a solid defence against Hellkite Tyrant, as is Caltrops .

The only current infinite combo is the infinite mana combination of Sydri, Galvanic Genius, Voltaic Construct and any one of Basalt Monolith, Thran Dynamo, Pyramid of the Pantheon and (when added) Gilded Lotus. The mana raised can be thrown into a number of sources:

Darksteel Ingot or similar to give coloured mana if I'm producing colourless.

Debt to the Deathless to kill everything. Profane Command against a single target.

Walking Ballista as an impossibly large creature capable of pinging everyone to death. Hangarback Walker just isn't as strong.

Planar Bridge to pull every permanent in the deck into play. Bridging out Darksteel Forge and Nevinyrral's Disk is particularly brutal.

If I can get my hands on a Disciple of the Vault, Sharuum the Hegemon and Phyrexian Metamorph become an infinite kill combo.

Aetherflux Reservoir combos obviously with Sydri, Galvanic Genius, while Filigree Angel helps ensure I have enough life to use it.

Maybeboard is cards I plan to get and try in this build.
