I have a playset of Rings of Brighthearth that have been asleep for way too long in my binder. I really need to make a deck with them, but I am not sure what direction I should take. I am thus asking your help for some suggestions. I only play casual multiplayer game but my playgroup has some good decks which have proved their worth.
I would like to make something not too complicated (for example having too many triggers going on and possibly causing confusion), and nothing with infinite combos. In short, I am thinking about a deck that would be fun to play while not becoming a major nuisance for my opponents, if possible. The deck should also work if the Rings get destroyed.
I have toyed with the idea of using Experiment Kraj for obvious reasons, but I don't like the fact that +1 counters must be involved for this to work. Otherwise, Wort, the Raidmother is another possibility, but then I need instants / sorceries so that don't seem like a good idea either. Anyway, I know that there are tons of possibilities, and that several persons here have managed to make a good deck featuring Rings of Brighthearth. So dont' be shy, share your decklists or propose some cards that have made an impact for you.
Budget is not an issue, but try keeping cards under 10$ if possible.
Thanks a lot, I am eager to see what you have in mind.
Maybe some white PW build with Djeru, with Eyes Open? Djeru fetches the PW's, then you deploy them them for profit with the Rings. If you limit yourself to a splash for G and/or W you can even take this 2 or 3 colors using only shocklands, BFZ duals and/or double-color cyclers and still run Emeria, the Sky Ruin effectively so you can keep throwing Djeru in front of attackers in exchange for even more pw's.

I would like to ask again if you can suggest cards which, in your experience, have truly made an impact or that work amazingly well with the rings. I just need a few ideas to get my creative juices flowing.
Previous comment suggested PW but in my playgroup, they get shot down almost immediately, so that is not an avenue I am thinking to pursue.
Having 10+ fetchlands is a nice way to double up the activation and get 2 lands.
Probably a good idea to use lots and lots of artifacts that do some wacky stuff you can easily copy.
Prototype Portal is a prime suspect to put wacky artifacts in and get "infinited" copies of them.
Its twin card for creatures works too, Soul foundry.
So if you have a creature with an ability, you get lots more of them.
Mimic Vat works too to get some nasty creatures to copy.
If you are good with making lots of tokens or huge creatures, Phyrexian Processor does the trick just fine (something along 10 life to make a horde of 10/10 creatures).
To maximize the madness, you can play all kinds of clones and copy effects. Phyrexian Metamorph and Sculpting Steel work well at that and all the blue clones work well enough, if theres creatures around to copy.
Goblin Welder is a nice creature to keep switching artifacts around, somewhat acts as an "untap" effect too for mana artifacts, if you can keep it going.
If you want to go full on artifacts you can use Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient as your commander, which is pretty much a copy of the rings minus infinited mana combos (as its way easier to produce colorless mana rather than red).
If you search for Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient as an EDH commander you probably find a lot of artifacts that interact well with it.
Thanks for your helpful response. It gave me some good ideas, namely with Mimic Vat and Prototype Portal. One thing, though, is that I want to avoid infinite combos since they are not allowed in my playgroup. Just need to mention this again to orient the thread in the right direction.
Otherwise, who else has built a deck abusing the Rings? I am sure many here have played with it or have played against it. I just need more ideas until I find something really original that will make a great deck. So share your experiences (good or bad)!

Voltaic Key can archive the same infinited if you can tap for 4+ mana (Metalworker, Everflowing Chalice)
