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?

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.

[Spencer Addington]

I didn't see this in your list, so I'll just throw it out there. {voltaic key} + kurkesh + {gilded lotus} makes infinite mana

[Remillo]

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.

[Spencer Addington]

Could I get a list of the combos plz?

[Remillo]

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?

[Remillo]

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.

[Spencer Addington]

What about {arcane spyglass} or {strionic reaonator}?

[Remillo]

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
