    So it looks like your plan is to block and run out hate lone enough to assemble archetect+pili+(Whetwheel or Blue Sun's).  I see that BSZ and Archetect are Transmute targets for Drift, and Pili can be gotten with either a muddle transmute or a reshape, so you're pretty good on redundancy, but I'm not sure where Whetwheel fits in.  It's not a tutor target, so other than being an artifact for thirst I dont see how it fits in.  It feels like you would be more consistent with a fourth drift or a second BSZ.  Either way, it looks fun!
    Edit:  I do have to say, the budget builder in me loves that this is like a $50 build without the hurks in the side board and with mana leak in for remand.  I own a single remand and I want to get rid of it before it shows up as a 2 of uncommon in some duel deck (even though I aggree that Remand is far and away the correct counter for this or any other combo deck).

      I'm theorycrafting 3 different approaches to making grand architect+pili-pala a thing, this is one of them. Whetwheel fits in by being a tutor wincon for reshape, a sac for reshape, a blocker, or a pitch to thirst. I like that if I hit infinite a muddle (into reshape into whetwheel), a reshape (into whetwheel) or a drift (into BSZ) is a win. If it's two BSZ both reshape and muddle don't fetch a win with infinite online, only drift.


      Also I'm unsure on final numbers, I use 3 as a "test this number".

        Ahh, misread reshape-Thought the saced artifact had to cost X as well, which would exclude watchtower from being a target based on your other stuff.  My fault.

          It's basically GSZ for artifacts, which has to be breakable in modern and I'm surprised it hasn't been yet. First came across it trying out ideas for mono-u tron.

            Yeah, I thik it was a component of eggs to get the lotus until they banned second sunrise.
