A reworking of SaffronOlive's Inspiring U-Drazi deck that seeks to reduce its distressing variance by adding in tutor cards (Trophy Mage, Sanctum of Ugin) and lifegain + aerial blocking (Aethersphere Harvester).

The deck wins with card advantage and pseudo-mana ramp created by Inspiring Statuary and Key To The City -- Statuary makes it possible to tap the Key to generate "improvise mana" instead of by discarding a card, drawing a lot of cards over time. As soon as you hit a Deep Fiend you can sacrifice Sanctum of Ugin to tutor up another, or whatever other horrible monster you put in as a target. From there victory should be in your grasp.

To keep the Trophy Mages from being dead draws after the Statuary is installed, Aethersphere Harvester and Deadlock Trap are provided as secondary targets. They can be tapped as mana rocks by Statuary at least but offer situational answers. Harvester in particular is great because of lifelink; if it gets crewed by a scion or trophy mage as soon as it enters it can be buffed by the Ruins to block even 5/5 Gideon and the life gained will offset at least one other unblocked attacker. Other options are Filigree Familiar and Implement of Examination; both can be tapped for improvise and offer card draw. Familiar can block, crew a Harvester, and be buffed by Ruins of Oran-Rief.

Because of the number of useful 2 and 3-drop permanents (14), Matter Reshapers have a 23% chance of putting a useful creature or artifact on the battlefield when they die and a 41% chance of dropping a land.
