The idea

At first I just wanted to make a generally janky voltron deck where I just cycle my deck like crazy for fun.Today however I was thinking about the cheerios modern deck with sram/puresteel paladin in the shower, then in my head popped "what about inspiring statuary to pay for my artifacts" which was completely wrong considering it only pays for nonartifact spells... BUT THEN I remembered the budget standard deck I wanted to make which was using inspiring statuary to pay for second sun as a win condition. After the first cast it doesnt even go to graveyard, it goes to the 7th spot on your deck... which means I can draw it again with sram the same turn even and pay by tapping my equipments using inspiring statuary and a plains to win the game early!

Win Conditions

Commander Damage! Show

Use Puresteel Paladin to equip everything onto your commander for free.

Haste is given by:

• Lightning Greaves
• Swiftfoot Boots
• Sword of Vengeance

Unblockable by:

• Hot Soup
• Trailblazer's Boots

Balan, Wandering Knightmare Show

Use Balan, Wandering Knight with haste and unblockable and 2 mana to add over 9000 equipment to strike someone down!

Haste is given by:

• Lightning Greaves
• Swiftfoot Boots
• Sword of Vengeance

Unblockable by:

• Hot Soup
• Trailblazer's Boots

Infect Show

Grafted Exoskeleton to give infect plus a couple other equipments to get the infect damage up to 10!

Lifegain and pain Show

Aetherflux Reservoir to turn 50 life into 50 damage... With Alhammarret's Archive this builds FAST!!!

Praise the Sun! Show

Using Inspiring Statuary you can quickly cast out Approach of the Second Sun and then redraw it super quickly with sram and cheap artifacts to do it again!

Another way to fund this is Krark-Clan Ironworks by sacrificing 6 artifacts for and tapping two plains for also sacrifice other artifacts to pay for ones in your hand to cycle towards the 7th card from the top which is the second sun!

Infinite draw cycles and mana Show

Using Krark-Clan Ironworks you can sacrifice a lot of your artifacts to make a lot of mana, then using Elixir of Immortality you can put those cards back into your deck and start the sram cycle all over again and repeat. To bring back elixir you can use Refurbish or Buried Ruin or Myr Retriever.

you can get infinite mana with Sol Ring and Paradox Engine

With infinite mana you can use: Rocket Launcher or Walking Ballista to win.

with infinite draw you can use: Psychosis Crawler to win.

Infinite mill and damage Show

using Paradox Engine you can get infinite damage with drawing and Wolfhunter's Quiver as well as Viridian Longbow. You can mill people out with Temple Bell.

Pump the gas!

Use the following cards to draw many cards per artifact spell:

• Panharmonicon
• Puresteel Paladin
• Alhammarret's Archive

Dealing with enemies

• Dispatch to exile creatures
• Swords to Plowshares to exile but also can be used on your own big creature for emergency lifegain.
• Darksteel Mutation really evil to place on someone's commander or core ability creature, think how bad it would be if someone put this onto Sram
• Flickering Ward can be used to give your creature protection from removal, as well as flicker it if you are low on artifacts somehow to keep using Sram's ability to draw cards
• Gift of Immortality should be added on sram so that when he dies he returns fresh as new
