So I just wanted to make a Sai deck with antiquities war even after Kaladesh and all the good artifacts have rotated, this deck is not "good," in the sense that more tuned competitive decks can beat it, but so far it's a lot of fun. I think with some tuning this deck could actually have some potential, I am 5-5 with it even in it's current form, but if I had about 30 wildcards of various rarity I'm sure I could tune a more optimal build. There are some cool interactions, and Zahid, Djinn of the Lamp coming down on turn 4 is no slouch either way. Artificer's Assistant and Mishra's Self-Replicator have both impressed me in this build, as scry is a great mechanic and the self-replicator can really get out of hand if your opponent does nothing to stop the token production. Overally I'd say it's still a work in progress but I have great hopes for where this could go

Edit: Trimmed some fat from the high drops, added 4x Skyscanner and one Expansion / Explosion, I think the deck runs a little smoother now, with a bit more card draw. Teshar+skyscanner is a neat little interaction, but there's no sac outlet (except sai), so you have to get a little aggressive with the skyscanners or block with them to get them in the yard. So far pleased with what this deck does, although some things like turn 2 steel-leaf paladin you're just not going to win against.
