Still making cuts and adding cards, trying to make sure I don't miss any staples. Will add Soul of Phyrexia when it launches.

Playing the Deck

Dont overcommit to the board. Artifacts are the second most fragile card type, after creatures, and so its best to hold something back. If you always play as if your opponents have the Vandalblast/Austere Command/Bane of Progress in their hand at all times, you wont be hit nearly as hard when they drop it.

Dont forget that Sydri can target your opponents artifacts as well. You can pop equipment off of their creatures by animating it or animate their artifacts in response to a board wipe to make it particularly painful for them.

Try to play all of your combo pieces on the same turn. The less time that you have important pieces lying around, the less time that your opponents will have to disrupt your game plan.
