Hello everyone. I'm looking to share my Sydri deck and get any opinions on it. I know there are several that have been posted already, which I have taken a look at and took a lot of inspiration from. I did put a somewhat unique twist on the deck I think by adding in a lot of protection/control/pillowfort cards. I felt with Sydri it worked out well because it gave you time, and put politcal pressure to not be attacked, all the while waiting and building up good synergy with Sydri and artifacts.
The deck does not have any infinite combos in it, but I'm certainly fine with synergy and cards working together (Like Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek without infinite mana) The pillowfort cards will buy time to get the right beater out to finish the game. Sydri herself, with three mana open, is a pretty good rattlesnake herself by making anything have deathtouch so that in combination with control will allow you to get out the big artifacts to swing in once everyone else is weakened.
I have seen several other Sydri decks so some cards not included here are probably for a reason rather than not knowing about them, but I don't have a lot of experience with the deck in person so I'm still open for suggestions and explaining/justifying my current deck choices.
