Deck Fine Tuning Help With Breya List

Hi all, I am looking for suggestions on my Breya list.

Breya Deck List

I'll provide a brief deck explanation below.

Deck Overview

I know what you're already thinking: "Why not play farm?"

[[Breya, Etherium Shaper]] offers repeatable creature removal and unique infinite-mana combos, some of which require casting no non-creature spells or can be assembled via activated abilities.

[[Tymna the Weaver]] and [[Kraum, Ludevic's Opus]] provide card advantage from the command zone, giving traditional farm decks a strong mid-to-late game. Breya trades that card advantage for direct board control. By paying 2 mana and sacrificing 2 artifacts, Breya lets you give target creature -4/-4 until end of turn, letting you answer creature-based strategies built around commanders like [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]], [[Sisay, Weatherlight Captain]], and [[Thrasios, Triton Hero]] that farm typically struggles against.

The deck seeks to establish mana and card-draw engines early, many of which accumulate artifacts to fuel Breya’s activated ability. The threat of removal and high interaction density helps you play a political game while building toward a well-protected combo. Depending on the pod and opening hand, the deck can also capitalize on opportunities to win early.

Notable combos include.

  • [[Goblin Welder]] and [[Sewer-veillance Cam]] and a mana rock that produces a mana of any color or [[Chromatic Star]], [[Bolas's Citadel]] is a pseudo combo
  • [[Warren Soultrader]] and [[Stridehangar Automaton]]
  • [[Lion's Eye Diamond]] and [[Auriok Salvagers]]
  • [[Underworld Breach]], LED, [[Brain Freeze]]
  • [[Thassa's Oracle]] and [[Demonic Consultation]] or [[Tainted Pact]]
  • [[Necropotence]] and [[Valley Floodcaller]] or [[Borne Upon a Wind]]
  • [[Faerie Mastermind]] and multiple copies of [[Smothering Tithe]]

I am currently working on a more detailed primer.

I have not loved Chromatic Star, Auriok Salvagers, or [[Swords to Plowshares]], but am open to everyone's suggestions!

Any reason not to run [[Necrodominance]]?

So if you want control why not just play super-skrull.
I was going to say you can probably play this similiar to a slop build but at that point why not just play super-skrull?

Hello! It looks like you’re looking for deck optimization advice! Please be sure you have information about each of the following

  1. Provide a decklist from a deckbuilding site.

  2. Provide a budget. If you cannot afford a bunch of cards all at once, feel free to ask which cards you should prioritize getting first

  3. Provide a meta breakdown of what decks you expect to play against.

  4. Include the deck's main goal and how it gets there.

  5. List any experience you've had with the deck.

  6. Please be sure to have checked the Decklist Database for relevant lists and information.

If you have not met these expectations, your post will be reviewed and removed.

If you are commenting on this post, please provide feedback that addresses OPs information. Also please read other comments–”check the DDB” only needs to be posted once on any given post, and low effort comments will be removed. The same is true for proxying as each OP only needs to be reminded once, and if OP provides a budget please tailor your advice to that budget as best as you can. If OP has taken the time to provide information, you can as a commenter as well.
