If a player controls a Wurmcoil Engine and targets it with a Sundering Growth, can they immediately copy one of the wurm tokens with the populate ability of the spell, or will the spell resolve before the tokens are generated?

You’ll want about 20 lands for a 60 card deck. If you’re running Sol Ring and Voltaic Key, then I suggest also running 4 Basalt Monolith so you can ramp really hard. Also, Manifold Key is (almost) strictly better than its counterpart.

With all that mana, I’d focus on playing bigger artifacts rather than smaller ones. I’d say focusing at the 6-7 mana area would be best. That’s Wurmcoil Engine, Myr Battlesphere, Steel Hellkite, etc.

The most powerful card you can run is by far Tinker. It’s the best way to get out your huge artifacts like Blightsteel Colossus.

Can I suggest either Urza, Lord High Artificer and/or Karn, Scion of Urza? They come into play with their own tokens that can mow everything down. As for cuts, I think I'd remove Thopter Assembly as you have tons of ways to make thopters already and paying 6 for thopters next turn (maybe) i don't think is worth it. also, instead of Staff of Nin I'd throw in Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain. Lastly, I think investing in a Wurmcoil Engine might be a good thing to do. if all of your thopters turn into Wurmcoil engines, whenever they die they just make more tokens to turn unto WCs.

trocroi i think Elvish Champion is better than Dwynen's Elite if you're not running Shaman of the Pack. plus over half of the top decks right now run green. i remember a game against tron where i was staring down 3 Wurmcoil Engine, and drew Elvish Champion for the win.

Cling to Dust is a really good one-off for the maindeck. Helps both against burn and graveyard shenanigans, while it cycles worst case scenario.

Wurmcoil Engine also seems better than Batterskull, as it's bigger while you can get it back with K-command. Decks with path where Batterskull is better are usually UW control that doesn't really worry about either card.

Also personally havn't been a big fan of Dead of Winter over Damnation after the banning of astrolabe. To make it work early, you have to get basics that makes your mana more awkward, and if you cast it late, you might as well have Damnation instead, to make sure you catch everything.

Otherwise looks pretty solid

No, Wurmcoil Engine's token creation ability is a triggered ability. While it can trigger at any time, it waits to go on the stack until just before the next time a player would receive priority. Then it waits to resolve and create the tokens until after all players have passed priority in succession with it being the top object of the stack. Sundering Growth is a single spell and no player receives priority in the middle of a spell or ability resolving.

If a player controllers a Wurmcoil Engine and then destroys it with a Sundering Growth, can they copy one of the tokens that the wurm generates?

The only problem I have is there isn't enough Ugin, the Spirit Dragons. I would take one Karn Liberated and one Wurmcoil Engine out of the list for two more Ugin, the Spirit Dragons. Karn Liberated only gets rid of a few problems, whereas Ugin, the Spirit Dragon gets rid of ALL the problems for a smaller impact on your wallet. Wurmcoil Engine is more of a card you get out of a wishboard than a in deck threat.

+1 from me.
