Myr tribal!

There is no legendary myr to be the commander, so I went with Sydri, Galvanic Genius. She turns out to have really great synergy with the myr, actually.

For one thing, I chose her for her colors. Though some of them didn't make the cut, blue, white, and black have colored myr-related cards.

Secondly, her second ability -- giving artifact creatures deathtouch and lifelink for -- is great for any artifact creature tribe.

Her first ability -- making noncreature artifacts into artifact creatures for -- actually has at least one relevant use in this deck: land destruction. Myr Landshaper can make any target land an artifact, and Sydri can make noncreature artifacts into artifact creatures with power and toughness equal to their mana cost. Since the mana cost of lands is zero, all you need to do is make one of your opponents' lands an artifact with Myr Landshaper then pay for Sydri to destroy it. Pretty cool.

As for the myr themselves (note: I assume "myr" is both singular and plural), they have a few good synergies too. In addition to being an anthem, Myr Galvanizer can untap all your other myr. This means that all you need is a way to untap Myr Galvanizer and you can endlessly tap and untap your myr, making infinite mana, giving them all deathtouch and lifelink with Sydri, pumping Lodestone Myr and/or Myr Battlesphere to be gigantic, and so on. Voltaic Key will let you do this once. Clock of Omens or Filigree Sages will let you do it as many times as you want. If you have a bunch of tokens and Ashnod's Altar, Faces of the Past can get the job done too.

In addition to being an alternate wincon, Mechanized Production can make copies of Myr Galvanizer (or anything else). So can Prototype Portal.

On top of that, there are several artifacts-matters cards. My favorite of these is probably Soulscour. Unless you're playing another artifacts deck, you'll be at a huge advantage if you ever get to cast this. In addition to all the myr mana dorks and a few mana rocks, I included all the artifact lands I could (4 total), as well as Cascading Cataracts, which is indestructible. So depending on your board state, you might still have 5 lands left, including one of each of your colors, even after destroying all nonartifact permanents with Soulscour. And, of course, you can protect even more lands with Myr Landshaper.

Myr Incubator is your nuclear option.

I feel like the deck could use a few more lands, but most of the high cost cards have improvise or affinity, so the mana curve is actually lower than it seems.

Should be fun. Suggestions welcome!
