Deck Description

Tangle Wire and Smokestack for table management. Following is some information about the main combo :

Stax trick #1: You can (ideally) Weld out the Smokestack when it ceases to be advantageous for you.

Stax trick #2: If you have both Smokestack and Tangle Wire out, thanks to the rules governing triggered abilities, you can make your opponent sacrifice to the Stack first, then tap remaining permanents to the Tangle Wire.

Stax trick #3: Thanks to the the rules governing triggered abilities, you can remove a fade counter from Tangle Wire before tapping your permanents (so you tap one fewer permanents than your opponent did), you can tap permanents to the Wire and then sac them to the Smokestack, and you can add a soot counter to the Smokestack after all of that so you sac one fewer permanents than your opponent will.

Stax trick #4: You can tap Tangle Wire and Smokestack to satisfy the Tangle Wire without hurting your board position at all. Both still function while tapped.

Stax trick #5: You play Crucible of Worlds, which gives you a land to tap/sac every turn.
