The Maindeck:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The idea of the deck is to play a lot of blue tempo creatures with value and ramp into high mana cost artifacts using Grand Architect and Chief Engineer, create huge walking ballista's this way and outtempo your opponent.

On top of that we are playing 2 copies of Master of Waves, this card is almost made to be played in a deck with Grand Architect as ofcourse all the tokens the master creates are blue... You do the math.

Other interresting cards are:
-Duplicant This card can obviously be played on turn 3, deals well with wurmcoil engines and Death's Shadow or Tarmogoyf and is just a reasonable card as 1 off in the deck eventhough it doesn't seem so at first sight.
-Skysovereign, Consul Flagship: Turn 3 this can be played sometimes, then it immediately either kills your opponent's creature or damages a planeswalker and then can be crewed by your creatures to be even more oppressive, GREAT 1-2 of in the deck, definitely recommend it.
-Naban, Dean of Iteration : as many of our creatures (including Master of Waves and Trinket Mage) are wizards. Playing a 1 off of Naban just seems to be too cool to be left out.
-Trinket Mage : This card is a BEAST! Not only does it work with Naban but it can be tapped for mana, finds a lot of useful cards (Which you can often immediately play because you can just tap the mage for mana) it can find your Walking Ballista aswell as sideboard cards like Relic of Progenitus, Engineered Explosives, Basilisk Collar, Grafdigger's Cage, Pithing Needle and heck it can even find your Darksteel Citadel. The only real downside to the card is that it doesn't curve too well with Grand Architect but it does however with Chief Engineer.

The sideboard:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some cards like Damping Sphere and Pithing Needle don't really need more explaining (Also if you're not playing Kira, Great Glass-Spinner in this deck I'm not taking the deck serious.)
-Wizard's Retort: Kind of an iffy card, I was having negate before I had this but as we have a lot of wizards, it's not too bad.
-The Immortal Sun: This is a bit of a weird one but as we can play this on turn 3 quite some times it's a very good one of, plays pretty well against control match-ups and Tron aswell, and on top of that also buffs all your creatures.
-Basilisk Collar: This card is also a little bit weird but synergizes very well with Walking Ballista. (Can also be found with Trinket Mage)
-Spellskite: However this is already a pretty solid sideboard card in modern for a while, I do feel like I need to explain that this card is absolutely ridiculous in this deck, convoking it turn 2 without losing tempo, we're even playing blue so we don't have to pay life for the ability, we can make it a blue creature with grand architect, it protects our creatures from artifact removal, it's quite solid against burn aswell. Amazing card!


Maybeboard:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Lightning Greaves : Can be cast turn 2 without losing tempo if you have played a chief engineer and a 1 drop. Will protect your important cards and give them haste: (like Wurmcoil Engine and Grand Architect

-Chalice of the Void: Good card against burn, can be abused with Grand Architect and can be found by Trinket Mage.

-Lodestone Golem: Many similar decks include often 2-4 copies of this card, It's very good in the deck but I'm really for some reason not too excited about it. Including this will probably improve the deck but I'm just not feeling it for some reason.

-Crackleburr: This card is really really weird, but if you read it carefully it's actually quite hilarious and stupid in this deck if you manage to pull it off, I'm just not buying it yet.

-Wistful Selkie: This card replaces itself, is blue and has 3 blue mana sources however, I feel like the deck isn't neccesarily a devotion deck and it also doesn't curve too well. It just doesn't really fit the purpose of the deck as well as cards like Trinket Mage, so I'm not sure.

-Stubborn Denial: I'm not sure about this, it's a little bit far from being really good but I just wanted to get the suggestion out.

-Blood Moon: I've been thinking about splashing red into the deck purely to play blood moon, it does sound something worth trying out.
