My modified version of the 2018 Saheeli deck. Some of the original creatures have been replaced by thopter producers and the theme of the deck has veered towards combos. There are many interesting combos you can pull off:

• Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer , Ancient Stone Idol , Loyal Apprentice / Thopter Spy Network and a sac outlet (sacrifice the idol to create a 6/12 token with trample then use Brudiclad to turn all your thopters into the same thing)
• Soul of New Phyrexia , Unwinding Clock , Sol Ring , Gilded Lotus (make all your permanents indestructible all the time)
• Mycosynth Lattice and Treasure Nabber (mana advantage) Even nastier if you sacrifice their lands/mana dorks/rocks to Sai, Master Thopterist , Trading Post or Pia and Kiran Nalaar
• Mycosynth Lattice , Shattering Spree and one of the infinite mana combos below (destroy all permanents you don't control)
• Mycosynth Lattice and Karn, the Great Creator locks all opponents out of playing anything that requires tapping lands for mana. If you have something to deal with your opponents creatures such as Cyclonic Rift this is effectively a hard lock. You can also use the Karn to tutor up the Lattice if you keep another copy in another deck.
• Mycosynth Lattice and Unwinding Clock (untap all your lands and attackers on every opponents turn)
• Meekstone and Unwinding Clock / Paradox Engine (your opponents can't attack with big creatures while you can continue using your artifact creatures as normal)
• Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice , Meteor Golem / Unstable Obelisk and Academy Ruins or Meteor Golem and Mechanized Production (repetitive permanent removal)
• Mimic Vat , Meteor Golem , Pia and Kiran Nalaar (sac the Golem to Pia and Kiran then exile it under Mimic Vat... repetitive permanent removal for only 3 mana)
• Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice , Paradox Engine , Izzet Signet , Sol Ring (infinite mana)
• Sai, Master Thopterist , Paradox Engine , Ancestral Statue , Sol Ring , Worn Powerstone (infinite thopters)
• Paradox Engine , Ancestral Statue , Temple Bell and enough mana rocks to produce 5 mana, or less with cost-reducers (infinite mana; draw through your deck to find Walking Ballista for insta-kill)
• Paradox Engine , Ancestral Statue , Mishra's Self-Replicator and enough mana rocks to produce 5 mana, or less with cost-reducers (create an infinite number of copies of Mishra's Self-Replicator ). Or with Sai, Master Thopterist instead of self-replicator, create infinite Thopters.

Most games you will want to get Saheeli out as soon as you can, protect her and start casting lots of artifacts cheaply. When you have enough rocks, use Inventors' Fair or Whir of Invention to find Paradox Engine . At this point if you have some card draw like Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain , Skullclamp or Temple Bell you can essentially just keep drawing and playing artifacts until you get to Ancestral Statue or Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice at which point you can go infinite and draw into Walking Ballista to end the game. If an opponent uses Cyclonic Rift on you, get your Paradox Engine out first, then your mana rocks, and you should be able to rebuild your whole board in one or two turns.

Meekstone and Ensnaring Bridge allow you to hold opponents off while you're waiting for your combo pieces. While Meekstone is perhaps not as good as the bridge, you can always chump their attacks with Thopters leaving their big hitters tapped down and out of action. The bridge really shines after you get Saheeli out as using her second ability you will quickly get to the point where you are casting everything in your hand. The two cards also act as targets for artifact hate so your opponents don't leave any for your more important combo cards.

With Saheeli's second ability and Paradox Engine / Unwinding Clock this deck has a LOT of mana going spare so even if you don't get to one of the infinite mana or lock-out combos, there are a couple of big cost wins like It That Betrays , Banefire and mana sinks like Walking Ballista .
