A silly take on trying to make a "fair" Sharuum deck. In need of a few spots to be filled. Not looking for stuff like Mox Opal or Mana Vault, I'm trying to keep the costs of the cards reasonable so as to keep the power level reigned in. Open to suggestions on small tune ups or questions regarding exclusions.

The premise of the deck is to be a " Reanimate / Tinker " style deck in which a mana rock or less than usable combo piece could suddenly become a massive body. I want to make it clear, I'm not looking to always combo off with this deck despite a few infinite combo pieces existing in this deck. The infinite combos exist to deal with other infinite combo decks.

The Win Conditions:

• Altar of the Brood with Sculpting Steel or Phyrexian Metamorph
• Disciple of the Vault with Sculpting Steel or Phyrexian Metamorph
• Mirrodin Besieged
• Thopter Foundry with Sword of the Meek in combo with Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks
• Enigma Sphinx
• Magister Sphinx
• Sphinx Sovereign

Okay so there's a few combos more so than big beaters, HOWEVER, I stand by wanting to keep the sphinxes in simply because they work well with Sharuum by posing reasonable clocks. They also do relevant things should they be all I have access to in a game with artifacts getting shut off via a hatebear or Stony Silence . The last thing I want to do is be out of the game the moment a single card resolves.

That being said there is some counter magic in the board to hopefully keep the ball rolling once it gets started. There is also some spot removal and board wipes to hopefully tie up my opponents while I work to jam out artifact creatures and be a pain long term. Most of the relevant creatures are artifacts meaning they can survive a Scourglass activation or simply come back from Sharuum being cast.

Otherwise let me know what you guys and gals think and hopefully I can get this deck finally put together!
