Deck Description

I wanted to try out Sydri. I know a lot of people don't like her because she killed the Karn decks. I kept it mostly creature free so that I can use Proteus Staff to stack my deck and get out creatures that tutor or bring back my stuff.

Also this is my first real artifact based type of deck. Any advice would be welcomed. Ideally if I had the money I would make this creatureless and heavy control.

How to Play

I did try to stay away from a lot of the infinite combos.

Win cons:
Beatdown with artifacts: This is how most games will end I believe.
Mind Slaver: Another option to either have my opponents kill themselves or open up. for me to attack them.
Tezzert, Agent of Bolas: Not gonna be my first choice but his -4 can do some damage.

Here are some things you can do with this deck.
Proteus Staff + creature = rearrange the cards in my deck and tutor/recursion. Side note you can also use to tuck enemy commanders or creatures.
Mimic Vat: Like Use with my own artifacts turned creatures and can use my opponent's creatures to help make up the lack I have. I can use those tokens with my staff if I need to.
Training Grounds: Net value of reducing my artifact's activated abilities by 1.
Thornbite Staff + creature/artifact + deathtouch/lifelink: I can clear the field and gain a little life with it.
Liquimetal Coating: Can turn whatever I want into an artifact and then turn that into a creature. Also good for destroying things out of my reach (aka lands if I must).

Deck discussion for EDH Sydri's Wits

Not bad, but the thing you have to look out for is artifact removal. If you have a bunch of artifacts on the battlefield and one of your opponents cast a spell to destroy all artifacts like Bane of Progress, then you're going to have a bad day. But you do have counter spells so lets hope you are holding one. +1 for me. If you get a chance take a look at my EDH deck Bant Bag of Tricks.

I realize that artifact removal is gonna hurt me. Every deck has some type of weakness and mine just happens to be this big. I have some steps in protecting myself from artifact removal but I can't stop it all. I don't run much counterspells but I might be adding in another one or two of them.
