I've been wanting to make an "artifacts matter" deck for some time, but never found the right commander - and then along came Breya.

I've decided to not focus on infinite combos, which Breya does very easily, but instead have gone for a midrange deck which is looking to create value engines and exploit etbs.

Win Conditions

Now I might have just said that I wasn't going for infinite combos, but if you put enough good artifacts together they're just about sure to go infinite anyway. In this deck I have two main ways to win infinite:

Ashnod's Altar + Breya, Etherium Shaper + Nim Deathmantle - fairly certain everyone knows this one. Sacrifice Breya and a thopter to Ashnod's Altar and then use the to return Breya to the battlefield using Deathmantle's triggered ability. You get infinite thopters which becomes infinite mana and then infinite 3 damage from Breya and hey presto everyone is dead. You can use Krark-Clan Ironworks instead of Ashnod's Altar, or Myr Battlesphere instead of Breya for infinite myr tokens (if you have to).

Sculpting Steel + Krark-Clan Ironworks + Spine of Ish Sah + Etherium Sculptor - cast Sculpting Steel with the other three on the battlefield, copying Spine of Ish Sah. Sacrifice the Sculpting Steel to Krark-Clan Ironworks for and then it returns to your hand. Use the to cast it again thanks to Etherium Sculptor (Foundry Inspector Works too). Rinse and repeat for all of your opponent's permanents.

This deck has tthe Sculpting Steel + Sharuum the Hegemon infinite loop too, but nothing to make it lethal. I'm happy with it that way.

The non-infinite ways include:

Blightsteel Colossus kills people, and there are several ways to create multiple Blightsteels for this purpose. Blade of Selves is probably the best.

Magister Sphinx makes folks easy to kill. Again we copy either the Sphinx or its etb with Panharmonicon and Strionic Resonator.

Hellkite Tyrant has a win the game trigger which is not too hard for us to achieve. It is also useful as a way to steal artifacts - and to sacrifice them with Breya if they try to get them back.

Rings of Brighthearth + Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas - ten artifacts kills one opponent with Tezzeret's -4.

Value Town

The main idea is to reanimate, copy and bounce/flicker artifacts and creatures with etb effects for value.

Reanimate

Sharuum the Hegemon, Daretti, Scrap Savant, Goblin Welder, Scarecrone and Nim Deathmantle. Academy Ruins and Trading Post return allow for recasting. Sharuum is obviously an etb effect that we want to exploit.

Copy

Sculpting Steel, Copy Artifact, Saheeli Rai, Phyrexian Metamorph, Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast (his ultimate), Blade of Selves , Mimic Vat, and Mirrorworks.

Flicker/Bounce

Venser, the Sojourner and Master Transmuter.

Copy Ability

Strionic Resonator, Rings of Brighthearth and Panharmonicon.

These elements interact with each other to generate some fantastic value. As an example, Blade of Selves + Strionic Resonator allows us to copy the Blade's trigger, netting etbs equal to double the number of opponents. There are too many synergies to list.

Draw, Removal, Ramp, Tutors

Draw

Baleful Strix, Consecrated Sphinx, Padeem, Consul of Innovation, Scarecrone, Solemn Simulacrum, Vedalken Archmage , Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, Memory Jar , Mind's Eye, Skullclamp, and Trading Post. Scroll Rack and Sensei's Divining Top offer filtering too.

Removal

Duplicant, Noxious Gearhulk, Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast, Oblivion Stone, Spine of Ish Sah and of course Breya, Etherium Shaper herself.

Ramp

Ancient Tomb, Chief Engineer (is INSANE!), Etherium Sculptor, Foundry Inspector, Metalworker , Solemn Simulacrum, Ashnod's Altar, Chromatic Lantern, Gilded Lotus, Krark-Clan Ironworks, Mox Opal, Sol Ring, Talisman of Indulgence, Talisman of Dominance and Talisman of Progress.

Tutors

Enlightened Tutor, Fabricate, Arcum Dagsson, Kuldotha Forgemaster, Reshape, Sphinx Summoner and Tezzeret the Seeker .

The deck is still in playtesting mode. Suggestions are welcome but I'm looking for high power/value synergies rather than infinite combos.
