Make opponents' lands islands, steal their artifacts -> profit

The plan, for now, is to steal primarily mana rocks and cast big bad artifact creatures. I didn't want to go the "Voltron Route" since I don't enjoy Voltron that much. Naturally, you should also keep an eye on combo artifact pieces your opponents might need.

Use Spreading Seas, Aquitect's Will, Tidal Warrior, Tideshaper Mystic, Quicksilver Fountain, Reef Shaman Sea's Claim, Phantasmal Terrain or Convincing Mirage to turn your enemies lands into islands, so you can swing with Thada. Unsure about Convincing Mirage and Phantasmal Terrain since I don't know if I have too many and they aren't as mana efficient

I am expecting that a lot of stuff will get removed and we are in blue so Counterspell Archmage's Charm (can also steal Sol Ring if the play it before you get it) Arcane Denial take care of that. But don't forget to give Thada protection and haste in form of Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots

Many mana rocks for artifact count and cast big mana spells.

Moved Shadowspear and Engulf the Shore to the sideboard since Spear doesn't give protection and I don't want to remove my own stuff. Also, Propaganda since it doesn't help my game plan.

Decided on Memnarch over Psychosis Crawler since it's also a Manaoutlet should I be able to get Dramatic Reversal and Isochron Scepter going

Swapped Mind Stone for Fellwar Stone since I have plenty of carddraw and my opponents are going to have Islands anyway, I will make sure of that.

Duplicant Meteor Golem and Curse of the Swine will be added or disregarded later, after some playtesting. Depends on what I need and what works in this deck and what doesn't.

Swaped Island for Mycosynth Gardens Taken Out Trinket Mage and Tribute Mage and Mystical Tutor

Tried Halimar Wavewatch Chasm Skulker and Colossal Whale keeping the Whale for now.

Added Braingeyser and Mind Spring for Carddraw since I had to cut Tutors, but also Cutting Preordain

Added Rise and Shine as a Wincon since I think I need more artifacts anyways Taken out two Islands for Everflowing Chalice and Lotus Petal we'll see how that goes, both Combo well with Hullbreaker Horror

Swapped Platinum Emperion for Cyberdrive Awakener
