This deck seeks to build a critical mass of thopters, clues or treasures to win in a few possible ways: Win-the-game effects (Mechanized Production or Hellkite Tyrant or Revel in Riches are all realistically achievable), good ol' fashioned combat damage (Hellkite Igniter can be a star here, as can Cathars' Crusade or saccing clues with a board full of thopters and Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest), or other pieces like Reckless Fireweaver or Marionette Master, which can mop up a game in a hurry if you've managed to get Doubling Season and its ilk to stick.

Ramos, Dragon Engine is the commander just because he's pretty much just a big ol' glorified thopter.

This deck can really hum if you've got at least one token doubler out - in addition to Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Anointed Procession and Primal Vigor, I've included Academy Rector, Lost Auramancers, Conflux and Plea for Guidance to search them out as well as Copy Enchantment and Clever Impersonator to act as additional copies.

Indomitable Creativity has been a star in this deck. Trading our thopters/clues/treasures for other permanents out of the deck - while simultaneously picking off a couple of opponents' troublesome cards - has been a crucial boost.

Someday I'm hoping to cast a big Phyrexian Rebirth with a couple of token doublers on the field, and then drop a Thopter Engineer and clean house. Someday...
