I have been brewing a deck to use Contraptions for quite some time now, but i couldnt find the shell to hold it until now. Tawnos mixed with Energy Counters is the perfect mix between artifact synergy, crazy triggered abilities, and wackiness perfect to blend in with some cards from Unstable.

While testing I have found some combos to generate lots of value. I will share what I have found so far:

Animation Module + Decoction Module + Fabrication Module + Krark-Clan Ironworks = Infinite mana and energy counters. You just gotta start it off by activating any of the abilities of the module set, pay the 1 to get a servo, sac the servo for 2 mana when the wheel comes around again to get another servo, and the cycle goes on. With Vicious Shadows it is lethal.

Whirler Virtuoso + Gonti's Aether Heart + Panharmonicon = Infinite thopters and infinite energy. You pay the 3 energy from the virtuoso to get a thopter, which triggers the aether heart twice, which gets you 4 energy, which gets you another thopter. Exile the aether heart for the epic swing afterwards. The aether heart can be replaced by Decoction Module and an artifact copy spell like Mirrormade in a pinch.

Gonti's Aether Heart + Mechanized Production + Mirror Gallery = Infinite Turns. You just need to wait a turn or two for the engine to start running, or you can use Panharmonicon to make things quicker. Playing the mechanized production onto the aether heart will result in an insane amount of energy production plus tokens to exile for the extra turns.

I am sure I am missing some things but this list feels pretty spicy. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
