Modestly spiky build for Sydri that plans on winning through one of a variety of avenues:

Degenerate Way:

Sydri + Voltaic Construct + Gilded Lotus: Infinite WUBRG mana. If used in conjunction with Blue Sun's Zenith or Stroke of Genius...

Draw deck, looking for Sword of the Meek, Thopter Foundry, and Time Sieve (and Blue Sun's Zenith if Stroke of Genius is used). Infinite turns, infinite life, and infinite Thopters, and you will never deck as long as you cast a Blue (or Black) Sun's Zenith with X = 0 each turn.

Cute Way:

Revel In Riches: This gets along nicely with Sydri, as they both make board wipes incredibly risky for our opponents, as we can threaten to blow up their artifacts along with the creatures, further increasing our Treasure count

Other Fun Interactions:

Sydri + Staff of Nin: For WUB investment each turn, shoot down the biggest creature on the board (or at least threaten to) (Plays well with Voltaic Construct)

Sydri + Liquimetal Coating/Mycosynth Lattice: For one blue mana, blow up your opponents' lands by turning them into 0 toughness creatures

Magical Christmas Land:

• Turn 1: Land, Sol Ring, Signet
• Turn 2: Land, Sydri
• Turn 3: Gilded Lotus
• Turn 4: Voltaic Construct, tap for UUU, use U to awaken Gilded Lotus and UU to untap Gilded Lotus, repeat ad infinitum, BSZ w/ X = 89, your opponents never get a turn 5.
