Sydri Loops isn't a joke, it just feels like it sometimes. I previously played Sydri sans Eggs, with more counters for combo protection. With the release of Aetherflux Reservoir, I wanted to rebuild 5-color Eggs from it's derpy non-interactive self into a "competitive" build.

Game Plan Show

Eggs provide a resilient game-plan due to the incremental card draw, inherent recursion, and good tutors. With a plan already revolving around Artifacts, the deck can take advantage of a great number of powerful interactions that cobble together into a large number of combo win-cons. Piloting can be difficult, but the sheer inevitability of a well-built Eggs deck means there's always another line of play.

Generally the plan is to set up a board state with some uncracked Eggs and sculpt a hand with a Second Sunrise effect. An "Egg Out" is a turn in which you attempt to win, mainly by cracking Eggs until you can do no more, then casting a Sunrise effect to get all the Eggs back. The next step to win during an Egg Out is to get the Sunrise effect back into your hand. Drawing another is fine, but you only need one and some recursion. Archaeomancer does this well, as does Codex Shredder .

Combos Show

Although Eggs themselves are an engine/combo, the deck really uses them to generate card advantage to assemble more streamlined combos.

Sydri Combos:

• Aetherflux Reservoir + Sydri, Galvanic Genius + over 50 life = infinite damage
• Mycosynth Lattice + Sydri, Galvanic Genius = land destruction
• Disciple of the Vault + Salvaging Station + Sydri, Galvanic Genius + artifact land = infinite damage

Real Neat Combos:

• Metalworker + Staff of Domination + 3 artifacts in hand = infinite draw/mana/life
• Future Sight / Magus of the Future + Sensei's Divining Top + mana reducer = infinite draw
• Junk Diver + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Myr Retriever + any mana reducer = infinite mana & Salvaging Station untaps
• Rings of Brighthearth + Voltaic Key + infinite mana = infinite untaps
• Rings of Brighthearth + Sensei's Divining Top + infinite mana = infinite draw
• Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry = infinite thopter tokens & life

Infinite Mana Combos:

• Krark-Clan Ironworks + Salvaging Station + Voltaic Key = infinite mana
• Auriok Salvagers + Lion's Eye Diamond = infinite mana
• Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth = infinite mana

Eggs:

This is the decks backbone, there are other lines of play to win but most of the time you're working towards using these to generate card advantage. A full "Egg Out" is nice. It only really requires a handful of Eggs in play and any Sunrise recursion effect. Many of the artifacts which are just plain good get better when you begin abusing their interactions in an Egg Out. Krark-Clan Ironworks is MVP when trying to successfully continue the chain after casting the first Sunrise. Archaeomancer is MVP to fully Egg Out.

• Conjurer's Bauble , Elsewhere Flask , Ichor Wellspring
• Chromatic Sphere , Chromatic Star , Prophetic Prism
• Darkwater Egg , Skycloud Egg , Phyrexian Furnace , Scrabbling Claws , Relic of Progenitus
• Aether Spellbomb , Flight Spellbomb , Origin Spellbomb , Necrogen Spellbomb , Nihil Spellbomb

Great Artifacts:

• Krark-Clan Ironworks - real workhorse in this deck.
• Salvaging Station - very useful, goes infinite with Junk Diver + Myr Retriever loop.
• Aetherflux Reservoir - what a card, Sydri appreciates it greatly.
• Staff of Domination - Staff of Win indeed.
• Trading Post - the sheer versatility of this card is incredible.
• Codex Shredder , Disciple of the Vault - great win-cons.
• Mycosynth Lattice - animate lands to crush them.
• Voltaic Construct - animate any artifact that taps for 3+ mana for infinite mana.
• Rings of Brighthearth - always phenomenal, goes infinite with Basalt Monolith .
• Power Artifact - infinite mana with Grim Monolith or Basalt Monolith .
• Auriok Salvagers , Lion's Eye Diamond - bomberman combo
• Staff of Nin , Caltrops - animate + lifelink deathtouch = repeatable removal.
• Lightning Greaves , Voltaic Key
• Sculpting Steel , Phyrexian Metamorph
• Zuran Orb - sac non-artifact lands before Sunrise effect.
• Thopter Foundry , Sword of the Meek - IDK whether I want to keep this combo in.

Recursion:

The first 4 here are the general gameplan, you want one of these in your hand with the mana to cast it before attempting an Egg Out. It depends on the situation whether you want to sac pieces first then cast, or cast and respond to it resolving by saccing Eggs. Piloting with these can be challenging, especially when Archaeomancer is the best way to recur a Sunrise card. Myr Retriever & Junk Diver can infinitely combo with Krark-Clan Ironworks and any mana reducer, they are fantastic recursion pieces alone but can lead to a mid-/late-game win as well.

• Second Sunrise , Faith's Reward , Open the Vaults , Roar of Reclamation
• Archaeomancer , Yawgmoth's Will
• Myr Retriever , Junk Diver

Draw:

• Sensei's Divining Top , Scroll Rack - considering Counterbalance .
• Future Sight , Magus of the Future - infinite with Top.
• Riddlesmith , Vedalken Archmage - great draw for Eggs.
• Null Profusion - this card is scary to play.
• Memory Jar , Time Spiral - hand resets.

Tutor:

• Demonic Tutor , Enlightened Tutor , Mystical Tutor
• Fabricate , Trinket Mage
• Reshape , Tezzeret the Seeker

Lower CMC:

• Cloud Key , Semblance Anvil
• Etherium Sculptor , Helm of Awakening

Rock:

Nothing cosmic going on here.

• Mana Crypt , Mana Vault , Sol Ring
• Grim Monolith , Basalt Monolith , Metalworker
• Chrome Mox , Mox Diamond , Mox Opal
• Mind Stone , Azorius Signet , Dimir Signet

Counter/Protection:

• Force of Will , Pact of Negation
• Silence , Orim's Chant
