I tried Breya, but I like the build-around-me aspects of Sydri, Galvanic Genius much better. It was my first artifact deck, and it continues to be my favorite.

The main combo of the decks is Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek , which allows you to create tokens limited only by your mana.

Ashnod's Altar adds infinite mana, tokens, and life to the combo. Contraband Kingpin adds scry to each cycle of the combo. Disciple of the Vault and Marionette Master add damage to each cycle. Leonin Elder adds additional life gain to each cycle.

Caltrops + Sydri, Galvanic Genius destroys all creatures currently attacking you and grants you life for each attacking creature. (My favorite combo!)

Memnarch or Liquimetal Coating work with Tower of the Magistrate to grant protection from any creature.

Academy Ruins or Hanna, Ship's Navigator + Mindslaver locks a single opponent out of the game and/or allows you to misuse their resources for your benefit.

Memnarch or Liquimetal Coating work with Karn, Silver Golem or Sydri, Galvanic Genius to destroy any target land.

Thopter Assembly + Time Sieve grants infinite turns. You can also use Time Sieve with any token generator and enough mana.
