• Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest goes infinite with Scurry Oak and Basking Broodscale with a sac outlet (Ivy Lane Denizen also goes infinite)

• Nuka-Cola Vending Machine + Academy Manufactor/Peregrin Took + Krark-Clan Ironworks/Grinding Station goes infinite

• Basking Broodscale + Tarrian's Soulcleaver goes infinite

Ygra, Eater of All goes infinite with camelia and Experimental Confectioner

Using the above to explain my adds:

Lively Dirge:helps to get cheap combo pieces

DROPS (need to drop a single card too to get to 100) 17

4x lands (this deck looks like it can run fine off of 30 if you add 4-5 0-1 cmc ramp pieces)

Bitterblossom

Prosperous Innkeeper

Song of the Dryads

Chitterspitter

Cauldron Familiar (unless I am missing the combo piece for it in the list)

Craterhoof Behemoth: may be a bit win more. don't see it doing much

Gala Greeters: meh card

Gilded Goose: meh

Tireless Provisioner: could stay or go

Toski, Bearer of Secrets: don't know how aggro this deck is, seems more combo oriented

Damnation: probably between MHM and fallout you have enough wipes

Nature's Claim: good removal but probably good on that

Woe Strider probably fine on sac outlets

May consider Protean Hulk piles as well

Reclamation Station {4}

Artifact

Whenever an artifact or creature is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, that permanent gains Recover: {1}. Each time you activate Recover, that ability costs {1} one more until the end of the turn.

"We currently have Blasting Station, Grinding Station, and Summoning Station active. Salvaging Station has been renovated to better make use of recovered material. progress updates pending."

---

If we make another station, (Maybe 4/5, we'd have straight line of stations! Make one that doesn't currently exist! Or, make something that uses Pincher Tokens!

Irenicus's Vile Duplication, Mirror Box and Vesuvan Duplimancy could allow you to copy your commander, and with an infinite artifact sacrifice machine like Arcbound Ravager, Grinding Station, or the like, you could easily go infinite. Plus, these cards fit decently into your gameplan.

I'd probably cut Trail of Evidence, since you only have seven instants/sorceries.

I'm still not following - Chromatic Star is the only one of your artifacts that gives you anything when sac'd to Grinding Station - the rest will only give you anything when you sac them to their own abilities. To that end, even if you have some extra mana granted from Lotus Bloom, you're not going to have enough to mill your opponent out of cards.

Because only Chromatic Star gives you any card draw when sac'd to Grinding Station you're going to run out of cards really fast also. I get that Faith's Reward can give you a bunch of artifacts all in one turn, but not in a way that's easily repeatable or practical.

I assume the loop revolves entirely around having at least two Lotus Bloom in the graveyard/play so that Faith's Reward gains you mana? Even then your deck is highly reliant on drawing those cards, and you need to be suer-lucky to draw enough Faith's Reward to get anywhere.

I've tried goldfishing a bunch of hands and yet to see anything close to a win on turn 4 - but perhaps i'm missing some key component to this.

draftdump69 thanks for the suggestions! I watched YungDingo on youtube pilot the rona/goryo's vengeance deck; seemed deece. The deck where it is now, fairly budget constraint-wise; I've only got the ~12 tiks to work with on mtgo through the rental programs so though Urza, Emrakul, while undoubtedly make the deck better, a wee bit out of budget.

Grinding Station totally makes sense and probably find a spot in the deck. Other card-wise, I think this version will stay mono-U. Sleep-Cursed Faerie is a sleeper! but might not make the cut, not being an artifact. Mulling it over, the deck come across as artifact/go wide/aggro first, combo second/incidentally

keep them suggestions coming

rona, herald of invasion works with retraction helix + mox amber. more emries + rona might make playing more mox ambers make more sense. If you're playing 4 emries, having 4 Mishra's Bauble would be a no-brainer.

Urza, Lord High Artificer might also be a solid addition, allows you to generate infinite mana regardless of whether or not you have mox amber.

Generally, thassa's oracle is better than labman. other wincon considerations are Bitter Ordeal, Cut / Ribbons, Grinding Station or Grapeshot.

that being said, playing 1x emrakul is probably the best wincon. it would allow you to loot infinitely until you get an infinite mana enabler.

another direction to go is Sleep-Cursed Faerie. It might not go infinite but it can probably bounce your opponents board with retraction helix if you have an urza in play.

It's a finisher with Clock of Omens combo.

The Magda + Clock + artifact dwarf will give you infinite tapped treasure tokens. By fetching Grinding Station as your finisher could mill out players, fetching Roaming Throne will make you double the treasures, therefore, infinite mana.

With infinite mana, Skarrgan Hellkite is also able to close the game.

king-saproling, thanks for the awesome list of card suggestions! They are all worth considering, I just got to figure out which of the bunch I will end up using after testing them out. Also, I kind of forgot about Grinding Station. I don't know why I didn't include it in the deck; I'll definitely go order one or snag one from somewhere.
