Picked up the Exquisite Invention deck from a friend who didn't want it, and this is my attempt at making it more playable!

Win Cons:

Face punching:

We have a couple of big bois for the good ol' fashioned face beats.

• Ancient Stone Idol and Broodstar have scary costs, but are both pretty easy to get for near free.
• Darksteel Juggernaut is a constant threat that comes with the indestructible problem for opponents to solve.
• Inkwell Leviathan is mostly for the lul's.
• Steel Hellkite and Hellkite Igniter are pumpable monster's, and both in the air. Vedalken Humiliator takes away opponents fliers, opening the way for pain.

Alternate Damage

• Combustible Gearhulk is a scary fighter, but we can have him drop (ideally)29[On average, 9] damage from one trigger. Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice can copy this.
• Myr Battlesphere can very quickly get out of hand and its direct damage can put it a big hole in people.
• Ghirapur AEther Grid is a card that can put out a shocking amount of damage when you have a hoard of Servo's or Myr just chilling out.

Alternate Win Con's

• Hellkite Tyrant is a pretty straight forward win-con that isn't actually very hard to reach, even without stealing enemy stuff.
• Mechanized Production can win on it's own, but the most reliable method is to put it on a Myr or Thopter token. I actually feel this is a little bit too strong against most casual groups, and I just put it on a Mana rock, or Phyrexian Metamorph for more fun.

Protection:

We have a couple of tricks to keep things out of our way or protect our things.

• Padeem, Consul of Innovation protects the majority of our board with hexproof, while Darksteel Forge gives out Indestructible.
• Vedalken Humiliator removes indestructible, flying, deathtouch, reach, tappers, saccer's, and even just big guys.
• Ghirapur AEther Grid can give our idle artifacts the additional job of popping unwanted creatures.
• Chaos Warp and Lux Cannon will pop things we don't like seeing on the board.
• And we're sitting on 3 Counterspell's.

Fun Interactions:

Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice is so much fun.

• Want more mana? Blinkmoth Urn
• Want more things? Helm of the Host, Mimic Vat, Mirrorworks, Prototype Portal, Myr Battlesphere, Hangerback Walker
• Want to kill more stuff? Combustible Gearhulk, Duplicant, Lux Cannon

Things can start getting pretty wild when we have multiples on the board. I had a game where I had a Prototype Portal producing three Phyrexian Metamorph's with Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice + Mirrorworks, copying a Myr Battlesphere every turn. Good fun.
