In order to pull off the combo you’ll need to have in play Etherium Sculptor, Ashnod's Altar, and Disciple of the Vault. Then you must have two Workshop Assistant available. You can have one in the graveyard and the other one in your hand or you can have both in your hand. Let’s assume you already have one in your graveyard. You play your second Workshop Assistant and sacrifice it for Ashnod’s Altar producing which will also trigger Disciple of the Vault ability making your opponent to lose 1 life,
then you trigger Workshop Assistant ability and return to your hand the Workshop Assistant that was already in the graveyard. Since Etherium Sculptor is in play the cost to play the second Workshop Assistant is only which you already have from sacrificing the previous one. Now you just need to repeat the whole process until your opponent's life is down to zero.
Fetching the Combo Pieces
Fetching the combo pieces is the most difficult part because you need to get them before your opponent kills you.
So it’s important that you focus on scrying and drawing cards the cards you need. That's why we are running Chromatic Sphere and Chromatic Star because they both allow you to generate and mana that it's useful to cast Etherium Sculptor, Disciple of the Vault and other spells, more important they give you the ability to draw cards. In instants and sorceries we have Brainstorm, Ponder, Thoughtcast and Serum Visions, they're the staples for scry and draw at low cost with Thoughtcast being the only outsider however since we are running so many artifacts I think it’s a nice fit for this deck. Finally in creatures, we have Dimir Guildmage which allows you to keep drawing especially when you already have Tron assembled and mana it’s not a problem for you it’s also a body that can keep you alive in the early game.
Sideboard Choices
For the sideboard, I choose Nihil Spellbomb to provides us draw and graveyard hate, Crypt Rats for those games where we need to clear the board, Mystic Remora is very good against aggro decks and will allow you to draw more and faster! Apostle's Blessing for when you need to protect your creatures and artifacts, Blue Elemental Blast for RDW and finally Forever Young to recover combo pieces from the graveyard.
I hope you enjoy this combo deck if you have any suggestions to improve it please let me know, this is my first deck tech so I'm looking forward to hear your feedback!
