FalconPunch thank you! I really love playing this deck, it's just so versatile. I like Aetherflux Reservoir because of the Sydri, Galvanic Genius combo. It's not too hard to get to 51 life, especially with Breya's ability. Use sydri to make the reservoir a creature and give it lifelink so you can repeatedly shoot everyone for 50.

I pulled Noxious Gearhulk for Spine of Ish Sah and Indomitable Archangel for Soul of New Phyrexia, thanks for the recomendations everybody!

I'll definitely keep an eye on this deck now! I just ordered a few cards to start playing my own Breya deck (I just bought the precon this week) and I still didn't get the chance to play it, I'm starting to itch all over in anticipation!!

I've come to the conclusion that Breya is a combo machine in every way possible, not only because she works sometimes as a combo piece, but because she controls the board and buys us enough time to find any combo if we need that too. Your list will definitely be a huge guide for my future upgrades, so well deserved +1! ;)

If you want to, feel free to check out my deck, any thoughts and suggestions are welcome: as I said I haven't played the deck yet so I'm really looking for every insight so I can improve on my own list too

May I suggest Muddle the Mixture? Transmute for a missing combo piece of Foundry-Sword, Nim Deathmantle, Time Sieve, Cyclonic Rift, If you were running it, any piece of the Isochron Scepter-Dramatic Reversal + 3 mana from non-land sources (like Grand Architect or mana rocks) combo., and Reshape. And I mean, it is also a counter spell, but who would want to use it for that when it fetches you your game winning goody. :p It's one of 2 counter spells I run, and I think it's actually only countered one spell ever, but won me almost every game it's been drawn.

there are a whole swath of potential combos you could also include. I use too many to list them off here, but they are listed in the description of my deck that runs them

Baycer yes, there are many combos that I'm leaving out of my list, but that is namely because they don't overlap with enough of the other combo pieces in my decklist. I did add Reckless Fireweaver to my list, since it can replace any of the following: Impact Tremors, Disciple of the Vault, or Purphoros, God of the Forge

Osbert I reallllly like Muddle the Mixture! that will be lots of fun, but now I have to figure out what to pull for it. Any suggestions? I'd also love to run the Isochron Scepter combo you mentioned but that involves pulling too many multimodal pieces for a more limiting combo. I'm looking for combos with maximum overlap, which might make them look weaker if you don't see the big picture.

Kai-Erik, I suggested the Isochron Scepter combo because I saw it on another's deck list and thought it seemed fun and noticed you aren't running infinite mana combos that can produce any colour of mana, which is a win con with Breya as it lets you cast her an infinite number of times, and shoot a player for 3, leaving a thopter behind every time. Maybe add in Gemstone Array to convert colourless mana to any colour, but it's a 'bad card' by itself. If money is no concern, there is also the Bomberman combo (Lion's Eye Diamond + Auriok Salvagers). Umm, personally I'd cut the Reservoir + Sydri combo as it's a bit more fragile than the others (Sydri can't be recurred, and is kind of a dead beat by herself). Mana Echoes also seems kinda of "ehh" as it doesn't do much by itself and screams that you're going to be making a ton of mana to the rest of the table.

Osbert, you're right about the Aetherflux Reservoir + Sydri, Galvanic Genius combo being weaker than the rest but I do love the ability to block a huge beatstick with a 1/1 deathtouch/lifelink flyer and come out unscathed. Aetherflux Reservoir is the dead card of the two, but it still nets me life as early as early as turn three and with Breya, Etherium Shaper's ability to gain life in increments of 5, it's all too easy to hit 51 and start draining. You could easily use it to win in a 1v1 if it isn't answered, and if you force them to deal with it, they waste removal that could be used to stop a more lethal combo.

Again, I love the Bomberman combo, but name me one card in my decklist for each of those pieces that can overlap in a threatening way.

Kai-Erik, in your current decklist the Bomberman combo or Gemstone Array would solely exist just for the infinite mana possibilities (I guess the array could save you some mana to overlap to another turn), but I don't see how your deck can utilize infinite colourless mana other than infinite thopters from Thopter Foundry, then translating to infinite damage using Breya. If you used Blue Sun's Zenith instead of Sphinx's Revelation, you could use the infinite colourless to mill another player out.

If you want to justify the Bomberman combo, you could always add the spellbombs which are great utility, Pithing Needle, and all of them would be tutored with Trinket Mage, and Auriok Salvagers could just bring them back to hand. Lion's Eye Diamond is much more of a niche card, other than the combo, it's a 0 drop artifact to be eaten by Breya. But these cards are similar to Bitter Ordeal or Disciple of the Vault, where they do very little unless you already have the combo going.

I do think the above would be stronger than the Saheeli Rai + Felidar Guardian combo, as both of those cards alone have very low impact individually. Auriok Salvagers at least have limited tool boxing capability.

+1 Katsuragi-san

I'm surprised there isn't a Metalworker just for value!

czarkingrex Mostly because this deck is so color intensive, and the goal is to play out your whole hand by the first couple turns. I'd rather it be a combo piece than have another colorless mana source when I'm topdecking.

+1 for GitS. Aramaki would be proud.

this is worse than Sidisi doomsday but its not as budget ;)

Super cool concept! As a first-time artifact player, you've given me a lot to think about! I was wondering though if you'd given any thought into Mechanized Production? Easy way to win with all the Thopter production you have going on, no?

hardhitta71194 thank you! I thought she fit the theme well. Very technical, half artifact, badass that's good at everything.

scheerlc8520 that's like saying, "it's cheaper and easier to fuck a fat girl", yeah well some of us don't wanna fuck fat girls ;) I like your Sidisi Doomsday deck, looks fun but I could shut it all down with one well timed removal spell. That's a "fool me once" type of deck.

filkinsmark I had given it some thought, since it would be so easy to just make infinte thopters and win instantly but I feel like with most of the combos, if I have infinite mana/creatures, I probably won't need another card out to win. Also what would I pull if I did run it?

Kai-Erik No one i play with uses blue other than me so i dont have to deal with removal really. Sidisi doomsday was more of a joke deck but its really fun to play and a lot of people dont see it coming. filkinsmark i have a standard deck right now that used mechanized production and i think that it could work well in this deck too. Get a Clue is my deck but it focuses on using Mechanized Production on clues

Kai-Erik, if you're looking to make a cut, based on your mana and associated total mana symbols/costs, I'd get rid of Boros Signet for an insta-win which won't generate any hate towards me lolEspecially when the win-con triggers as soon as you have 8+, not needing to wait for my next upkeep or some lame shit like that

Sydri, Galvanic Genius maybe, I don't think she is enabling any combo, just generating value. If you are winning with one of many combos, none of her abilities seem that game breaking and it's certainly better than removing ramp. I don't know if Mechanized Production really is better because sometimes it might just be too slow, or less impactful than Sydri, but if I was to test it in your deck, that's probably the one I'd cut.

At least I don't see you turning Mycosynth Lattice or Mindslaver into a 6/6 deathtouch lifelinker, and with a low curve there is not a lot of value on turning a cheaper artifact into a creature either. Maybe for one very conditional block and get rid of something big, but again, that too is a fool me once kind of trick. Unless you are using her to remove Mana Crypts and that kind of 0 mana artifacts, probably she is the weak link. I've cut Sydri and brought her back in a few times now and I am still unsure about her relevance, I think that the main thing that makes her appeal to me is that she is a cheap creature that can synergize with most of our deck, but again, she can, but most times I will choose not to because that doesn't get me anywhere.

The value of both can change from deck to deck of course, but that's something that we'll only find out by testing. At a first glance at least, I think that Mechanized Production might be more impactful than Sydri in your deck most of the times.

I think you mean Felidar Guardian instead of Felidar Sovereign with your combos that interact with Restoration Angel in your description.

Good catch jakeelephant006- I was honestly very confused about that

jakeelephant006 you are 100% correct sir, I guess I spaced that day. Sovereign isn't even in the deck.

filkinsmark Sydri is for sure the weakest slot, she combos with Aetherflux Reservoir to ping everyone for 50 infinitely if I have 51+ life but that's super conditional. I'll try swapping her for a mech, which leaves me with another open slot to play with in place of the reservoir. Any other ideas?

For my money, I put in Master Transmuter so that'd likely be my recommendation, easy to get out your more expensive drops much faster- speed up the impossible chain of your machine lol

I don't know if you know this but you missed a couple of combos in your description. Grand Architect+Mycosynth Lattice+Eldrazi Displacer+Breya, Etherium Shaper=GG and also Grand Architect+Nim Deathmantle+Breya, Etherium Shaper=GG. Nice build. I missed those combos too, just sharing the knowledge.

FerrumLung, not to be noobish, but can you walk me through those combos? More specifically the first one?
