This deck revolves around an infinite mana combo. The combo is:
Sydri, Galvanic Genius + Mycosynth Lattice +
Voltaic Construct
+ any mana rock that produces 3 or more mana like Mana Vault, Gilded Lotus, Basalt Monolith, Dreamstone Hedron or Thran Dynamo.
There is another infinite mana combo with Basalt Monolith and Rings of Brighthearth.
We exploit this combo with many things. The first is Sydri, Galvanic Genius's 1st ability. With Mycosynth Lattice on board all lands are artifacts, with her first ability and all this mana needing a home we can blow up every single land. But of course we won't be targeting our own!
The second is with Planar Portal. With infinite mana and Mycosynth Lattice, we can play every non-land card in our deck..
Another is with
Ornate Kanzashi
. This is a reverse Planar Portal in that with the combo, we can play every non-land card in our opponents decks if we choose to not deck them out!
There are some cards that were put in the deck because they are great on their own that are also a combo for infinite damage. Here it is: Sharuum the Hegemon + Sculpting Steel or Phyrexian Metamorph +
Disciple of the Vault
.
Have Sharuum the Hegemon and
Disciple of the Vault
in play. Play one of the copy effects targeting Sharuum the Hegemon.
When you do this you get an etb trigger for return an artifact AND a legendary rule trigger that kills the first sharuum. Since they happen at the same time you can stack them how you choose. We're gonna put the etb on the stack first so it resolves last, then put the kill trigger on last so it resolves first.
So the first Sharuum the Hegemon dies triggering
Disciple of the Vault
then the copy enters bringing her back. Which in-turn gives us the same two triggers that we will stack the same.
Good synergies:
Darksteel Forge: with Mycosynth Lattice your entire board is indestructible.
Caltrops
: with Sydri, Galvanic Genius onboard, pay U,B,W everything attacking dies before combat damage. This is the ultimate pillowfort!
Arcum Dagsson: this guy is a
Tinker
on a stick. Need something dead or an enchantment gone? Go get
Executioner's Capsule
or
Dispeller's Capsule
. Feeling behind and need to feel better? Go get Platinum Angel! Need to find Darksteel Forge and fast? No problem!
Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Dispatch, Oblivion Ring and Detention Sphere are the main removal package here. Shouldn't have any problems getting rid of something.
Counterspell is the must have counter in any deck running blue! Stoic Rebuttal is pretty much copy number 2.
Darksteel Plate, Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves are the my general can't die package. This on top of Darksteel Forge and Mycosynth Lattice synergy makes Sydri, Galvanic Genius practically invulnerable.
Suggestions and +1's appreciated!
