Tezzeret the Schemer is back for that Kaladesh booty! Calling on an unlikely associate, Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast, for his knack of turning junk into treasure, and manipulating the mind of Saheeli Rai for her artistry and Vedalken connections, Tezzeret is sacking Ghirapur, right in the face! It is a brutal trio, and with Breya at the helm, the combos are infinite, sometimes literally.

So, Krark-Clan Ironworks and Nim Deathmantle.

But that's the least fun way to win. One of my favorites is to put Mechanized Production on one out of the at least seven thopter tokens on my field, and watch my opponents squirm as they try their damndest not to be beaten by a thopter. I've won a couple games this way.

This deck is great with graveyard play, my mana works well, and I always seem to have options. And Unwinding Clock makes things interesting with jerks like Walking Ballista, Hangarback Walker, and Steel Overseer even jerkier. But out of all the random crazy combos this deck gives, my absolute favorite chaos machine is Faerie Artisans. When I play that I feel like yelling "Anarchy!!" When someone drops something like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, all the sudden most of my opponents take quadruple damage! And Phyrexian Metamorph or Sculpting Steel can let me keep it on the field for good. It can backfire a bit, like with Demon of Dark Schemes, but at least that's usually entertaining too.

This deck seems to do everything I need it to, and though it isn't the fastest deck, it has potential to get wrecky by turn 5-6., and with all the graveyard play, it thrives in long, drawn out games.

I can use some advice about Beacon of Unrest vs. Scourglass. I really need the extra field wipe, and it evened out my white and black mana, but I miss the beacon, and all the fun that brought. And both are game changers.

This is my first commander deck, so I'd appreciate any feedback.
