Deck Description

This is my current idea for a myr deck with 1 strategy get Myr Battlesphere in play, equip it and win.
Updated 13/2/11 sideboard change to give alternative plays including hasted Phyrexian Rebirth with indestructable Brass Squire with unlimited tokens.
Would love ideas and thoughts. Thanks.

The Battlesphire!
Cards needed 1x Stoneforge Mystic 1x Myr Turbine and 1x Equipment 5x random myr.
Use the Stoneforge Mystic to tutor for an extra equipment.
These are good combinations but pick depending on the game.
Sword of Vengeance or Whispersilk Cloak + Pennon Blade or Grafted Exoskeleton and Sword of Vengeance + Basilisk Collar. Also Infiltration Lens is pretty handy with Brass Squire.
When you have your equipments and the 5 myrs, play your Myr Turbine and keep 5 myrs untapped. Before the end of your opponents turn or as a reaction to something that would otherwise mess up your plans you tap 5 myrs and the Myr Turbine to put into play the Myr Battlesphere. Attack with what ever equipment you have attached to Myr Battlesphere and boost it as far as you can go.
If you happen to have Sword of Vengeance and mana or myrs to equip it you can play Myr Battlesphere directly and haste it, then proceed to attack and if you have Myr Galvanizer untap all myrs including the ´sphire itself as a response to attacking, this is always worth it if you any tapped myr at all.

Example: 4/7 Myr Battlesphere with Pennon Blade + Whispersilk Cloak tapping 9+(5 random + 4 from Myr Battlesphere) myrs in play deals 33+(4+9+9+11) unblockable damage.

There are lots of extra tricks and combo´s that you´ll possibly notice but I won´t go into depth with them.

Enjoy!
Special Thanks to Aneximines.

Extra cards and alternative cards.

Deck discussion for The Myr Battlesphire 3.0 Equipped Mutation.

Switch Myr Sire for Shimmer Myr; Myr Sire only helps if you can bring him back from the grave, where shimmer myr can let you cast mana myrs during your opponents turn, even the battlesphere if you have enough. Speaking of which, replace Perilous Myr for Gold Myr; mana ramp is more important than damage in a deck like this, you'll easily get his life down with the battlesphere and other myrs. Otherwise, very nice deck!

Neat deck, but note that Myr Battlesphere is not an outlet for the "infinite" Myr-untapping combo (two Galvanizers and a Palladium).

The Battlesphere's triggered ability only resolves once, giving you exactly one chance to tap Myr. Once you've tapped them, that's it, that's the value of X. Untapping them after that won't let you pump up the 'sphere any more.

You're not playing infect right? Its mana cost is too high i'd say and its only awesome with Battlesphere. If you maybe splash a little black and add some black mana myr (Leaden Myr), add some Swamp in place of some Plains (4-ish) Phyresis could work, and of course if you think of doing that Ichorclaw Myr would help, and even iif you don't get the infect going it would be more myr to tap.

It works surprisingly well with Brass and Stoneforge, being able to drop it with only 2 Mana and free equip on unblocked expendable myrs or as an easy win condition to the 'sphere.
