Cid, Freeflier Pilot

Looks like something good did come out from the final fantasy set! Cid can repeatedly return equipments in the grave back to hand, can make our equipment cheaper (including the ones he brings back), and can become a threat himself since he has evasion during our turn. I like that his ability can be activated at instant speed, so giving a way for him to untap can allow us to also use the ability on each of our opponent’s turns. He is tutorable and recurrable. Probably would cut Restoration Specialist

Pro: This alone can uniquely return to hand two equipment in one go, which can be a solid play in the late game. It’s a white source rather than a colorless one. It’s a sorcery and then a land, which means it’s two cards in one? Pretty good value since it can become a land that “drew” you two cards.

Con: Sorcery side seems a bit costly at 5 mana. The land side always enters tapped and will not add to the plains count. What would we cut? Possibly a land like Abstergo Entertainment, Mistveil Plains or a basic Plains? Or maybe our current cheaper/equippable/tutorable/recurrable recursion Restoration Specialist? It’s a tough time cutting cards sometimes.

Based on some great feedback on Reddit and some of my own ideas, I made some edits (cards removed to sideboard so I can keep track).

In: Restoration Specialist, replaces Treasure Hunter and Auramancer.

In: Reveillark, replaces Pinnacle Monk  ^Flip

In: Panharmonicon, replaces Blade of Selves for ETB triggers

In: Felidar Guardian for infinite token combo with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. Replaces Athreos, God of Passage as it makes recursion conditional.

In: Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker. I wanted to test drive it.

In: Grand Abolisher (protection). Out: Boros Charm (cry! I love this card, but it's not the right kind of protection for this deck).

In Murderous Redcap infinite damage win-con with Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit. Out: Figure of Destiny, feedback is that it is too slow, although to be fair it helped me win the first time I ran this deck.

Will also be updating Maybeboard based on feedback, some of the cards I don't have or haven't worked in yet.

Cool deck!!!
This looks like a ton of fun to play.
Have you considered Sterling Grove, Restoration Specialist, Canopy Vista, or Krosan Verge?
Sunpetal Grove and Overgrown Farmland are also good.
Cheers!!

Bwhaha, nice! What about...

Restoration Specialist to work in the back room, maybe with Scrap Welder who makes great use of Sunglasses of Urza

_The welder gets a lot of work and does well for himself, but Restoration Specialist always seems to find herself saving money, never quite being able to afford a new Sky Skiff. She used to have one, and it wasn't the skiffyest bit around town, but it was just right for what she needed. This was, of course, before last year's accidental overloaded Vandalblast, which, despite the big news coverage at the time, has still left many neighborhoods in mostly disarray.

So, these days she has to ride the Untethered Express to and from work, and every time she does, she ties to remember that the next treasure she restores may just be the one that gets her back to the sky. And more than that, it may be the one that gets her back to the days when she wasn't left spending her time waiting on a train and waiting on the world.

But, like in all things, today is today, and there is nothing else for an often underappreciated Restoration Specialist to do other than take a seat and hope, just hope, that she doesn't have to listen to Chulane, Teller of Tales one more time. He always seems to be on the same Untethered Express as her, and she can't ever seem to wrap her head around why that is. So, she ponders that tid one more time, he starts into the same story that he's told her a hundred times before, and her seat shakes like Norin the Wary at a blind date as they begin into town. Someday the city, her city, someday they will finally replace that bugger of a tether, but, for now she just holds as tight as she can. Today is today afterall.

_ Okay...sorry, I've gone way, way too far : ) I really like the deck! That's what I meant to say.

I love how much effort you're put into turning Isamaru indestructible. In case you need more, Hammer of Nazahn does that and so much more. Sigarda's Aid is another very useful card here. As you already included Halvar, what do think of Balan, Wandering Knight and Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist ? Steelshaper's Gift is another great tutor, but then again, it's pretty pricey. In a deck with that many artifacts and ETBs, maybe consider Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle ? Finally, Restoration Specialist is a really underappreciated card for artifact decks in my opinion.

This is a long comment. I'll finish it by saying this is greatvdeck, good job!

Sweet deck!! Looks like a blast to play.
Inventors' Fair seems like it would fit right in!!
Also, Restoration Specialist is a nice recursion card.
Some more cool lands to consider: Hanweir Battlements  ^Flip, Slayers' Stronghold , or Warped Landscape .
You already have sun titan, he is a great way to return lands.
Also maybe not optimal here but Settle the Wreckage can be a powerful ramp card if you target yourself, i run it in a token deck. Something to think about, especially if boardwipes are coming.
Weathered Wayfarer is great if he is in your budget.
Just some thoughts, cheers and have fun!!!
