Welcome to the Death Star!

Our route to victory is in the complete annihilation of our opponents using the death star (Aetherflux Reservoir). To achieve this victory, we use eggs to draw enough mana reducers and death stars, so that when we cast Paradoxical Outcome we can gain enough life to blow our opponent up.

The Death Star

Aetherflux Reservoir - Gains us a progressive amount of life, which is then used to defeat our opponent.

Eggs

Prophetic Prism - an oldie but a goody. Draws us a card when cast and helps to fix our mana.

Metalspinner's Puzzleknot - Draws us a card for a life when cast, and can be sacrificed to draw an addition card.

Filigree Familiar - gains us 2 life on cast, and draws us a card when it dies. Useful for blocking a large creature to save us some life.

Hedron Archive - mana acceleration that can net us mana with 3 cost reducers out. Can also be sacrificed to draw 2 cards.

Glint-Nest Crane - Gives us a blocker and an Impulse for artifacts so that we can find the death star.

Inventors' Fair - usually gains us a life a turn, plus it can be sacrificed to get any artifact we may need.

Bacon

Herald of Kozilek - Reduces all of our colorless spells by 1. This will reduce all of our artifacts and other heralds.

Foundry Inspector - Reduces all of our artifacts by 1. This will not reduce the cost on our heralds.

Paradoxical Outcome - Used to return all of our permanents, except cost reducers and Death Stars, and draw a ton of cards. This allows us to storm off and win with relative ease.

I can say that this deck is very fun to play, and can just win out of nowhere. It seems to just durdle around for a bunch of turns trying to not take a lot of damage, but once the life gain starts, it is really hard for decks to beat it. I've gained 20 life a turn for a few turns straight while being attacked for 15 damage or so a turn, before i drew a paradoxical outcome and won on the spot.

The weaknesses for this deck are very fast aggressive decks and those that are using Cataclysmic Gearhulk. Any suggestions to improve this deck is much appreciated!!
