This deck can be easily foiled by control decks, or annihilators. Anything with significant exile effects will be very difficult to defeat. Strong against people that ignore you - otherwise, you're never getting a combo active. Keep a counter and a board wipe handy.

The main objective is to get one of the infinite mana combos active. Cards like Finale of Revelation, Sphinx's Revelation, and Walking Ballista are basically instant wins if drawn with an infinite mana combo alive. I'm considering adding Braingeyser, Blue Sun's Zenith, Grand Architect + Pili-Pala to reinforce this being the ultimate objective of the deck.

• Sydri, Galvanic Genius + Voltaic Construct + any 3 mana rock = infinite colorless mana. Use Gilded Lotus for infinite mana of any color.

• Metalworker + Voltaic Construct + any 2 artifacts in your hand = infinite colorless mana. (Considering re-adding Grand Architect + Pili-Pala for more infinite mana combos that aren't reliant on Voltaic Construct)

There are more combos in the deck that will typically end games:

• Karn, the Great Creator + Mycosynth Lattice = Your opponents can't use any activated abilities of any of their permanents...including land.

• Sydri, Galvanic Genius + Mycosynth Lattice = : destroy target 0 cost permanent (like lands).

• Time Sieve + Thopter Assembly = Infinite turns.

• Voltaic Construct w/ infinite mana combo + a target = infinitely untap target. Would advise targeting Voltaic Key, Master Transmuter, Muzzio, Visionary Architect, or Arcum Dagsson.

Arcum Dagsson works well with Sydri's ability, making Spine of Ish Sah a very good sac target for Arcum.

I'm testing out whether vehicles like Weatherlight and Skysovereign, Consul Flagship are effective in this deck. I believe they may be good targets for Karn, the Great Creator +1 or Sydri's ability.

Currently, the following cards are proxies: - Mishra's Workshop - Underground Sea - Tundra - Scrubland
