Breya, Etherium Shaper
Channel the high-tech sci-fi tragedy of The Amory Wars by deploying swarms of dragonfly-like Thopters, cybernetic Iro-bot constructs, and devastating Keywork machinery to overwhelm opponents without infinite loops.
Asked for“A no-budget build based around the story of the amory wars and Coheed and Cambria, no infinite combos.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.
Mana curve · 62 nonland cards
The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
