This is an Alela, Artful Provocateur deck focusing on Artifacts.

The plan is to cast the commander as early as possible, by casting Mana rocks or the mana dorks to cast Alela by the 3rd turn.

The Goal is to have attain Infinite Mana, Infinite Lives, Infinite Tokens and also utilize the Storm effect.

Infinite Mana: Emry + Mirran Spy + Lotus Petal. Sac Lotus Petal for any mana, Tap Emry targeting Petal from the graveyard.Cast Petal from the graveyard, when it comes to play untapped Emry using Mirran Spy ability. then repeat.

Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek + Ashnod's Altar. Pay 1 mana, sac Sword of the Meek, to gain 1 life, and putting a 1/1 Thopter in play. Sword of the meek triggers and returns back to play attached to the Thopter. Sac the Thopter for 2 colorless mana from Ashnod's Altar. Use one of the mana to sac Sword of the Meek. then Repeat while netting an additional colorless mana.

Ashnod's Altar + Semblance Anvil + Myr Retriever + Scrap trawler. All the cards must be in Play, Sac Myr Retriever to gain 2 colorless mana, return 2 other artifacts from the Graveyard to hand (Scrap trawler and Retriever effect). Sac Scrap trawler for another 2 colorless mana and return retriever to hand. Cast retriever for free due to Semblance Anvil mana reducing effect. the sac Retriever to get back Scrap Trawler. then repeat to get infinite mana.

Infinite Tokens Same Concept with the Ashnod's Altar + Semblance Anvil + Myr Retriever/Scrap Trawler + Sai, Master Thopterist/ Alela, Artful Provocateur. Every time an artifact is cast make a 1/1 Thopter or Fairy

Same Concept with Emry, Lurker of the Loch + Mirran Spy + Lotus Petal + Alela/Sai.

Wurcoil Engine + Nym Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar. Sac Wurmcoil engine to Ashnod to net 2 colorless mana. Death trigger makes 2 3/3 wurm tokens. Sac one of the token for another 2 colorless mana. and activate gym death mantle by paying for to return wurmcoil engine back to play with death mantle attached. Repeat process to net infinite 3/3 Wurm Tokens of either Lifelink or Deathtouch.

Infinite lives Just do the Sword of the meek + Thopter Foundry combo Storm Combo - will be explained below

Storm Combo Using the loop to recast the artifacts infinite times + Aetherflux reservoir. Just gain infinite lives then throw a 50damage Laser beam from Deathstar.

To Help in the Draw cards part Just Do the infinite tokens with the Infinite Mana and just attach a skull clamp to the 1/1 Tokens killing them and Drawing 2 cards.

Infinite Mana Usage: Just Cast a 50x Torment of Hailfire, A Draw 100 cards Blue Sun's Zenith or A very buff Walking Ballista

The Deck is not totally optimize because im only utilizing the cards available to me at the present. Once I get the needed cards I will definitely improve the deck.

Hope this helps.
