The mana's a bit sketchy, and I may want Noxious Revival, but overall this looks solid. Haven't had time to test it, but will try to get some reps in asap
I think someone already mentioned this, but in the grinding station/looting/vaults/roar of reclamation build I think that a package of Artificer's Intuition plus 1-2 Locket of Yesterdays could really put in some work.
Could even play electrodominance. (probably not though)
In testing, I have found Sleight of Hand to be way better than Serum Visions, as
a) It is better at finding Lotus Bloom on turn one, when it is by far at it's best
b) It can be better when comboing, as it is a good draw when you're digging for a Reward effect and have run out of Egg draws.
However, this could be entirely anecdotal, so I would like some advice on this.
Also, is Time Sieve a servicable replacement for KCI?
It is similar in many ways (but obviously will still require a couple different cards to really work:
It allows you to cheat on mana: Cast all your eggs, sac them, go to extra turn, untap all of your lands, repeat. The eggs are technically free here.
It combos well with Scrap Trawler (and Myr Retriever!) : Sac stuff, bring it back as well as drawing cards. The same loops that KCI used work here too.
Not really relevant but can also combo infinitely with Thopter Sword, just like KCI.
However, some things must be changed in order for it to properly work:
Unfortunately, Ancient Stirrings can't find it. I'm using Board the Weatherlight, but it's way clunkier.
In order to consistently have enough artifacts to sacrifice and continue chaining turns together, Sly Requisitioner has become a must.
More eggs, in the form of implements, are probably necessary to draw enough cards to keep going.
Here is my turbo-Sieve deckL
//deck-1
1 Adarkar Wastes
2 Buried Ruin
1 Caves of Koilos
4 Darksteel Citadel
2 Whir of Invention
2 Inventors' Fair
4 Sly Requisitioner
1 Island
1 Plains
4 Spire of Industry
1 Underground River
2 Myr Retriever
4 Scrap Trawler
4 Chromatic Star
3 Everflowing Chalice
4 Ichor Wellspring
4 Implement of Improvement
4 Mind Stone
4 Mox Opal
4 Terrarion
4 Time Sieve
And here is another list I've been working on. It's more Grinding Station and Sword oriented, kind of like the Grinding Station decks people were toying around with a couple months ago, and I think it also has some potential. (super janky though)

2 Tormod's Crypt
1 Sai, Master Thopterist
1 Swan Song
2 Thoughtseize
Please give me your feedback! Do you think any of these could be any good?
Any thoughts on Expansion//Explosion? It's another wincon plus being a 2 mana faith's reward and a negate against opposing counterspells.
It also can copy reshape which is quite nice

Any chance this might be useful as a cheaper, mini Faith's Reward?
EDIT: didn't see that the permanents came back tapped. That's a huge bummer

The roar versions are already splashing red for looting, so that definitely could work
a) It is better at finding Lotus Bloom on turn one, when it is by far at it's best
b) It can be better when comboing, as it is a good draw when you're digging for a Reward effect and have run out of Egg draws.
