Play this deck if you like keeping occasional zero-land hands.

The new card The Mycosynth Gardens was a great land to add to this deck. You can use it to copy your Mirrorworks. Once you have Mirrorworks in play, mana rocks that tap for 3 like Gilded Lotus or Chromatic Orrery or Thran Dyanmo net you a mana when you copy them for each Mirrorworks in play.

Some other cool things are making a lot of Manifold Key type effects to untap and reactivate your Lithoform Engine over and over.

Rings of Brighthearth copies the Lithoform Engine activation and Holistic Wisdom activations also. You can use Otawara, Soaring City to return troublesome permanents or else it is also able to return your own artifacts to be replayed. You can copy the Holistic Wisdom activation with Rings of Brighthearth. You can play a Copy Artifact effect and have it enter as a copy of Mirrorworks and then copy it with the trigger of the original Mirrorworks. Now you have one token copy of Mirrorworks plus the original, plus a Copy Artifact.

You can then use Otawara, Soaring City to return the Copy Artifact or Sculpting Steel type card and then replay it. When you replay it, you now have two Mirrorworks so the new one can enter and make two additional token copies, so you now have the orignal and three tokens. With 3+ copies of Mirrorworks you can play Coveted Jewel and use tap them with the Mirrorworks trigger on the stack to copy them and create mana for each copy. Each copy also draws you three cards.

With Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer before combat, you can turn all your snakes into copies of Coveted Jewel which means that if you are attacked, when no blockers are declared, the attacker will gain control of all copies of Coveted Jewel and will force them to draw three cards for each copy they gain control of.

Because you usually make a lot of snakes, they will often die if they attack you. You can also make all your tokens into Font of Mythos or other similar cards which kill them in their draw step.

You can use Otawara, Soaring City to return your non-token artifacts to your hand and cast a giant Windfall. You can copy the Windfall with Lithoform Engine's second ability.

Before you turn your snakes into Coveted Jewels, you can make copies of Storm Cauldron and each copy lets you play an additional land. When you tap it, it returns to your hand. So if you tap Gaea's Cradle, it will add a lot of green and then you can play it as your second land for the turn and tap it again. Earthcraft allows your snakes to tap for a mana if you control a basic. You can use the Mirage Mirror in unique ways such as playing your Gaea's Cradle and tapping it, then turning your Mirage Mirror into a Storm Cauldron but with the trigger on the stack, turn it into a Gaea's Cradle, sacrificing the original. In between triggers resolving, you can tap it for green, and after it is tapped it becomes a Storm Cauldron which allows you to play an additional land.

Pretty fun. I like this deck. It's the main deck I play in paper magic.

Another nice card is Kessig Wolf Run which works well with your commander because you draw additional cards when additional damage is dealt. You can also use Rings of Brighthearth to copy Kessig's activation to help deliver a lethal attack. With 14 mana, you can activate Kessig Wolf Run with 2 and spend 2 to copy the ability, so Xyris, the Writhing Storm gets +10 / +0 and trample twice.

Minamo, School at Water's Edge can untap your Lithoform Engine or your Chromatic Orrery or Gaea's Cradle. Deserted Temple can untap the Minamo, School at Water's Edge which allows both lands to provide flexible utility. You can also untap opponent's legends if the moment is suitable.

Because you're often killing your opponents by casting Windfall effects or else using Otherworld Atlas with many charge counters and repeating the effects with Voltaic Key Manifold Key as well as Lithoform Engine and Rings of Brighthearth there is some games where you will be in danger of decking yourself in addition to the opponent.

Lich's Mirror and Platinum Angel both let you survive in such cases.

Expedition Map can find your Otawara, Soaring City. You can respond to boardwipes for artifacts with Gerrard's Hourglass Pendant and it doubles against extra turns.
