Adameus2012 Yeah I have already considered running Spire of Industry but need to spend some more time playtesting and figuring out what to replace it with first. I don’t think Glimmervoid is worth the risk here, as if it’s played early there are just too many ways to lose it. Also if I were to add Power Depot it would probably mean ditching Llanowar Reborn to prevent slowing my deck down too much, and that’s not a swap that seems reasonable.

But yes, i am thinking of swapping in 3 Spire of Industry at this point - I just need to run the math on what I can take out for it (probably the Phyrexia's Core and 2 Forest )

I am running a deck VERY similar to this, and the one thing you are missing is some red mana sources to activate Zabaz's ability to destroy an artifact. It leads to a lot of fast plays more consistently having the extra sac outlet available (even if it's not free). I've played a few games where winning wasn't really possible because of the hand I had, other than the fact that I had Zabaz and inkmoth and was able to pump the inkmoth to a 5/5 on turn 3 via Zabaz's ability and swing through for lethal infect. Don't underestimate that ability, it's all on one card too so you can potentially keep hands with only Zabaz as an enabler. I personally run Glimmervoid and Spire of Industry in my build to have the red sources available, and Power Depot helps too.

after playing around with the list I have actually cut the Power Depot they were only effective in edge cases where you would turn all of your artefacts into thopters with Thopter Foundry but even after adding more blue sources whir is still hard to play in a timely fashion in any hand with saga.

Urza's Saga is just to powerful to not build the deck around at this point in time.

when Urza's Saga is eventually banned I'm sure I'll go back to playing the whir versions of this list.

I suppose its unfortunate that Power Depot can't tap for U for whir. Honestly, I'm not sure how useful power depot even is for this deck, since I don't see much artifact sac besides foundry. If you cut some of those and add more U lands, I think you could definitely play whir (plus Urza gives you a lot of U mana).
