This deck is built around one idea: I want to be able to say "CARRIER HAS ARRIVED", get Parhelion II on the field, and win with a flying angel-carrier. For bonus points, Parhelion will get crewed by Zetalpa, Primal Dawn just for giggles.

Key combo

Karn, the Great Creator lets me fetch a Parhelion from sideboard, while Thran Temporal Gateway lets me get it on the battlefield for only 4 mana (and instant speed!). Parhelion can crew itself after its first successful attack- before then it can be animated by Karn, the Great Creator 's +1. Karn's -2 also lets me fetch fun sideboard cards like God-Pharaoh's Statue and Meteor Golem . All those cards, plus Zetalpa (which can also crew Parhelion), can then be cheated out by Thran Temporal Gateway .

Secondary combo

As I only have two creature cards in the deck, everything else I play triggers the passive ability of Saheeli, Sublime Artificer . All these 1/1 Servos can be chump blockers, crew Parhelion if the game gets really funky, or be a major boost to Karn, Scion of Urza 's Constructs.

Everything else (mainboard)

It's Value Town, baby. Besides being noncreature cards:

• History of Benalia is stupidly efficient for creating a board state in a hurry
• Legion's Landing   serves both as ramp and a late-game token generator
• Dovin, Grand Arbiter creates more tokens
• Gideon Blackblade is just a powerful threat that can crew Parhelion, give it lifelink, or be removal
• Treasure Map   is a scry engine that becomes ramp and card draw.
• Icy Manipulator "Pay one mana, screw with your opponent's board"
• Lazotep Plating protects my field and makes another creature token
• Sinister Sabotage may be replaced with Syncopate - the UU casting cost could be trouble, but I like the surveil trigger
• Mobilized District is another possible body on the field to throw in front of a planeswalker, or add just one servo/thopter and it can crew Parhelion

Sideboard highlights

• Meteor Golem Targeted removal, and I get a dude
• Chaos Wand just looks fun
