Pretty all in combo in standard.

This deck aims to take advantage of low to 0 converted mana cost artifacts. The goal is to get an Aetherflux Reservoir resolved as soon as possible, play a bunch of cheap artifacts, cast Paradoxical Outcome, and if you're super lucky- rack up your storm count high enough for an Aetherflux Reservoir kill. All of the cards in the deck have been chosen to help facilitate this game plan.

I feel like the deck is finally getting there. Foundry Inspector + Inspiring Statuary really help rack up your storm counter allowing you to play Paradoxical Outcome for one blue mana, then dumping every equipment for free as Skeleton Key is free with the inspector out. If you have Sram, Senior Edificer as well then be careful of drawing out your own deck!
