Free Eggs (Modern MTG Deck)

This is my homebrew take on Eggs. Put out enough cost-decreasing cards to make your 2-cost eggs free, then cycle through your deck. Hit Panharmonicon or Alhammarret's Archive for additional draw from your eggs, drop more cost-decreasers as you go, and keep track of how many spells you've cast in one turn. Drop Aetherflux Reservoir followed by a few more eggs, make tons of life and drop your opponent. Krark-Clan Ironworks nets you the mana to cast your bonus draw pieces, including Paradoxical Outcome if you need that extra push, while also providing a sac outlet for Ichor Wellspring and adding mana to use for Metalspinner's Puzzleknot . Krark-Clan Ironworks also works with a significantly-reduced-cost Spine of Ish Sah to blow up your opponent's entire board, also granting you infinite mana when cast with Darksteel Citadel as a target. Ideally, once you drop your artifact cost by 3 total, you can use your eggs to draw into either Semblance Anvil or Foundry Inspector to make your more expensive things free, allowing you to go off on the same turn regardless of how much mana you have, potentially netting you a turn 3 win with a turn 2 Etherium Sculptor into turn 3 Semblance Anvil. Current sideboard is new, designed to transform the deck into a defensive mode that goes directly for the Spine of Ish Sah win, but is currently untested.

Updated, more consistent version — May 25, 2017

Edit

Updated version that works more consistently, also has a shiny new sideboard which hopefully might help against certain matchups. After playing around with other decks, I keep coming back to this one, and I'm finding that it's doing better than previously anticipated in the current meta at the local game store. I've heard there's better current eggs decks out there using Scrap Trawler, but I still love my personal brew and would rather use it on personal preference, even if it might be objectively worse. I don't have the money to shell out for a playset of Mox Opal right now, so my current deck works fine as is. New sideboard is untested, and I'm feeling like Welding Jar would be a much better pick than Myr Retriever which I'm also using since it works as a chump blocker, but I'm not sure.
