[Primer] Six Shades of Dressnought aka Vaka-Nought

[Captain Hammer]

Has anyone tried Curie, Emergent Intelligence.

As an old school Ophidian player, I would love to get Curie working, either in Dressnought, alongside equipment, or in Affinity.

Perhaps it could work in a Monoblue Dressnought list alongside Tishana's Tidebinder, Ancient Tomb, Urza’s Saga, Lavaspur Boots and Misdirection…

4 Phyrexian Dreadnought
3 Tishana's Tidebinder
3 Curie, Emergent Intelligence
2 Delver of Secrets
1 Hullbreacher
1 Murktide Regent
1 Brazen Borrower

1 Lórien Revealed
4 Ponder

4 Brainstorm
4 Stifle
4 Force of Will
2 Daze
1 Misdirection

2 Lavaspur Boots
4 Dress Down

12 Island
1 Otawara, Soaring City
3 Ancient Tomb
3 Urza’s Saga

I found Curie impressive, even when not doing the thing.
But ultimately nothing really works with it, the best creatures aren't artifacts (shadow) and the best artifacts are to expensive (etched monstrosity) outside of dreadnought
E: master of etherium might be another in the sweet spot

Phyrexian Soulgorger, Lupine Prototype and Vantress Gargoyle would "work". But there's no reason to try to make Curie "work". 7x Dreadnought should be enough.

I think Tishana has already proven too slow for Legacy.

Monoblue could work as
//Creatures:
4 Phyrexian Dreadnought
2 Curie, Emergent Intelligence
3 Murktide Regent
2 Brazen Borrower

But there's no reason to force yourself into mono U. White adds removal, which makes it much easier for Curie to connect in a control-type Ophidian role.
