WELCOME TO THIS GREAT LITTLE THING

Brief rundown:

Jhoira as commander. You want her out as soon as possible. Keep your 0/1 drops in-hand until she is; you want to draw early and draw often.

Most of the little trinkets are exactly that: they don't do much, but they each have specific and situational uses. Outside of that, they're fodder for things like Clock of Omens , Krark-Clan Ironworks , Ghirapur AEther Grid , &c.

Don't be afraid to Mana Severance for most (if not all) you're worth - leave yourself the nonbasics and as many nonbasics as you need to get to about... 2-3 Islands, 2-3 Mountains.

Rocks and Dorks will help you balance your sources, especially when combined with the Clock.

Casting Everflowing Chalice and Astral Cornucopia for XX = 1 and XXX = 1 respectively is just fine - Inexorable Tide and Flux Channeler will make sure they get up nice and high very quickly.

That's the basics; I'll add to this primer over time!

Combos, infinite or otherwise

Karn, the Great Creator + Mycosynth Lattice = lock, plain and simple.

Mechanized Production + Myr Battlesphere will usually net a win within 2 turns of being put together.

Bosh, Iron Golem + Metalwork Colossus allows you to deal 11 damage multiple times per turn, all while recasting the Colossus for free, getting more draw off of Jhoira, and doing whatever other shenanigans you want.

Proposed cuts: Niv-Mizzet for ??? Fire Diamond for Arcane Signet 1x Mountain for Ancient Tomb
