Push and this Bob impersonation along with the Elephant, Harness, Tracker, Liliana, Brawler, Hydra and Kalitas looks like a decent energy themed Jund midrange deck.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
You'd win in two turns. First upkeep, copy the Myr Battlesphere but you don't get the 4 tokens yet because we're still in the resolution of an ability. Mechanized Production doesn't see 8 things with the same name and so the ability finishes, then Battlesphere's ETB goes on the stack. Then next upkeep you get another Battlesphere (bringing you up to three) and then it sees you have 8 Myr tokens and you win.
the draw spell seems really strong too. I really dig this new affinity were getting, seems legit.
Speaking of digging, why does the miner blink itself? i dont get the card concept

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
Mechanized Production FTW! What's the card that gives ability Indestructible to artifact creatures or just creatures? I can't remember which card sorry. X_X
Bob #233 will break standard. I know I say this for every new bob but this one is the one. Preordering 9000
in all seriousness it seems playable in aggro and enery strategy. If you played an aether hub it replaces it self as long as you make it to your turn and it has menace. It will probably see some standard play, but don't hold your breath.
Not that enchantment on Ugin's Nexus does make you win the next turn. Well not technically, but its close enough.
Wonder if you can do something with the self exiting dwarf. If you have two Aetherstorm Roc you get infinite leave triggers. Have a third bird or panharomicon and you get infinite energy.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
Even without the win-condition aspect, Followed Footsteps for artifacts seems fun, and this block loves ETB effects (imagine enchanting this thing to a Gearhulk). You can go for value and just happen to win sometimes if the board stalls for long enough, or you can plop it on a Servo or Clue or Construct token (or, in my Casual artifacts deck, a Thopter token) and win much more quickly if you already have a board state built up. It's a cool class of card to tack a "you win the game" condition onto - just opens up that many more options for how to build with it.
(Also works pretty well with Padeem, protecting the enchanted artifact and the tokens both.)

So...do token creatures have a name? If I enchant a thopter token with Mechanized Production and I already have 8 or more on the battlefield...interesting. In any event, Second Harvest approves.
There's kind of a weird interaction with Mechanized Production where if you have out Mycosynth Lattice and name one of your basic lands you'll trigger the game-ending mechanic pretty quickly - not super relevant in decks that need a lot of fixing but Arcum Dagsson and Daretti would be pretty consistent I bet!
Not game-changing in any way though - we already had Hellkite Tyrant to abuse Lattice with for wincon triggers
But the new Battlesphere will only create these tokens AFTER the win condition trigger event has passed, because the ETB trigger will only be put on the stack after the whole effect finishes resolving. You'll still have 9 untapped Myrs to use with your orginal battlesphere for quite a bit of damage, though.
Ah, yes, true.
You still get to attack for 12 and do 8 damage to the face. Seems good.
All this being said, Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek seem pretty bonkers when paired with this. An esper control deck can certainly make things go long and protect their enchantments. Mix in some selfless spirits and swords and you might have a spicy tempo/control/combo deck. Might not be as oppressive at Twin, but now you also have Fatal Push along side Path to Exile as well as counters. I think it might work.

No idea because my favorite decks keep getting banned or having the rules changed against them

I am also wondering this. Investigate and fabricate just says to "create a clue/servo"
token. Gild on the other hand, says to create a "token named Gold". So are Clue and Servo names, or just subtypes?
EDIT: Found it. Apparently, a token's name is the same as it's type unless stated otherwise. So it works with clues and servos.
In that case, I can replace Confiscation Coup in URW Thopters for Mechanized Production. Not only is the enchantment less costly to cast but it will also represent an auto-win on my next upkeep, provided my opponent doesn't cast a sweeper.
Another great shell for that enchantment will be with Erdwal Illuminator and inexpensive spells/creatures which investigate.

I just assumed she popped underground for a bit to grab another aether geode or whatever that is.
To me, the weird flavor is how she gets energy by attacking rather than by ETB.
Excellent point. Every time she swings with her pickaxe she comes up with an aether crystal? or..something? lol Oh well, not a hjuge gripe just kinda strange
