Posting this up for Spencer to take a look at. The deck just tries to utilize Kurkesh as a value engine to cobble together a game-winning combo. If you want to explore the list yourself, just look for things that work together! I can also type a list of key interactions if you want a cheat-sheet.

Thanks for the list. I think I'll explore the list and see what it's all about. It's always fun to fin a combo in someone else's deck.
I'm sure there are some that I haven't even found yet! I still have games where I'm like "Huh, this works with this and does this well whoops, I just won."
Why is bosh in the list? Also nim mantle?

I figured out why you have nim death mantle in the list. That plus a creature and any of the stations makes an infinite combo.
I didn't see this in your list, so I'll just throw it out there. {voltaic key} + kurkesh + {gilded lotus} makes infinite mana
It's in there. I decidedly don't play Rings of Brighthearth because I feel like it's too redundant.

Redundant is my middle name! I now have to cut 25 cards from my list lol.
Could I get a list of the combos plz?
In just looking through the list really quickly without having the cards in hand, here are some of the most common ones, along with some synergies.
Without infinite mana:
{Blasting Station} + {Grinding Station} + {Salvaging Station} + {Summoning Station} + Any 0- or 1-cost artifact
{Nim Deathmantle} + {Su-Chi} + {Blasting Station}/{Grinding Station}
{Prototype Portal} + {Ugin's Nexus} + Sac outlet
Ways to make infinite mana:
{Staff of Domination} + {Metalworker} + 3 or more Artifacts in hand (produces colorless)
Kurkesh + {Gilded Lotus} + {Voltaic Key} (Produces colored)
{Nim Deathmantle} + {Krak-Clan Ironworks} + {Su-Chi}/{Cathodion} (produces colorless)
Colorless can be filtered in to {Gemstone Array} for colored
Powered by Infinite mana:
{Bosh, Iron Golem} + {Nim Deathmantle} (requires colored)
{Everflowing Chalice} for X=Arbitrarily High number + {Ion Storm} (Requires colored)
{Everflowing Chalice} for X=Arbitrarily High number + {Dismantle} + {Darksteel Reactor} (requires one R)
{Staff of Domination} (the one-card combo)
Sac outlet + {Spine of Ish Sah}
Other Synergies to be aware of:
{Basalt Monolith} + Kurkesh makes {3} for R
{Codex Shredder}'s second ability + Kurkesh can buy back Shredder and another card
{Darksteel Reactor} + {Dismantle} simply doubles the counters on the Reactor
{Serum Tank} + {Dismantle} can charge up your Reactor very quickly
Kurkesh + Pretty much anything in the deck
I'm sure there are plenty more, these are just the ones that popped in to my head.
Any reason why {magistrates scepter} isn't in the list?

It was for a while, but I decided it didn't do enough so I took it out. It's a totally valid inclusion, though, especially with ways to add more counters or untap it.
What about {arcane spyglass} or {strionic reaonator}?
Basically the same thing. I'd thought about including them in early drafts of the list, but decided against them for various reasons. I have enough ways to draw cards without sacrificing lands, which is a detriment when the deck can be incredibly land-hungry in the late game. Resonator has amazing synergy with Kurkesh and I highly recommend it, but it's just not in my list because I haven't bothered to carve a slot to keep it. People find the deck annoying enough without me wrecking them even more with Resonator :P
Those were just a few cards I found and thought I'd add. Thanks for the list btw. It's really helped me focus my deck. Made mine budgetish at about $150, so I'll be splurging and buying it all at once :))
Go for it! And if you have an extra 600 lying around, feel free to add a {Mishra's Workshop}. Makes for stupidly explosive starts, but has the downside of not helping you activate stuff.

I'll consider it lol
What about {ring of three wishes}? I was play testing and managed to activate ring, then copied it with kurkesh, and copied that with strionic resonator. I would have copied that too, but I didn't have enough mana lol. Three cards for {7}{R} ain't that bad

Seems good
It's a completely valid inclusion. I personally prefer Planar Portal, so I play it, but basically any artifact with an activated ability is fair game. Just play whatever you want to!
