With the release of Aether Revolt I decided to put together a new deck based around Paradox Engine.

Thermo-Alchemist and Nettle Drone can ping the opponent multiple times with various untap triggers.

Example: Thermo-Alchemist and Paradox Engine in play. Tap Thermo-Alchemist to ping for damage, then cast an untap spell like Dramatic Reversal. This will get you three untap triggers for Thermo-Alchemist - one from itself on the cast of Dramatic Reversal, one from Paradox Engine from the cast of Dramatic Reversal, then the effect of Dramatic Reversal itself. Between each untap trigger you tap Thermo-Alchemist to ping for damage effectively dealing 4 damage total (including the intitial ping).

Multiple copies of Thermo-Alchemist and Nettle Drone in play will help deal more damage.

Dramatic Reversal can untap Thermo-Alchemist directly causing a double trigger. The devoid spells are burn and counter and will create untap triggers for both Nettle Drone and Thermo-Alchemist.

Thing in the Ice   is a good blocker and a formidable creature when it transforms, and with all these spells it should flip pretty quickly.

Corrupted Grafstone is there to help ramp to Paradox Engine. Additionally it will basically get you free mana after Paradox Engine is in play, or if you cast Dramatic Reversal. The downside is that it doesn't work if your graveyard is empty or only contains devoid spells, although a quick Shock can fix that.

Please let me know what you think and I'm open to any and all suggestions.
