Combos insanely well with Sharding Sphinx. When you're at a point where you know you're going to start creating 5 thopters every attacking phase on the next turn (or sooner), activate Time Sieve (after your combat phase, of course - why waste perfectly good thopters that can produce more ^^) and start the never-give-up-your-turn loop. Even if they still have an instant with which to destroy the Sieve, all it takes is a Sanctum Gargoyle or Sharuum to get it straight back out.
Essentially, if they don't have some sort of instant (and enough mana) to destroy the sieve. it's game over.

Nice call w/ the Fabricates, FirstPrime, I was running some Diabolic Tutors, as I hadn't heard of that nice card. Now I'm gonna run both :D
Personally, my win combo is Thopter Foundry, Sword of the Meek, and Krark-Clan Ironworks. I'm running Time Sieve in case I should get the Foundry and the Sword, but be w/o the Works, and just use the repeat turns as continued drawing until I can pull the Ironworks, at which point I make billions of thopters, tap my Time Sieve once more, then swing for a billion or so damage.

Awesome when comboed with Colfenor's Urn. Pity the urn only has 1 use.

Get repeatable artifact generation and after a while these turns can start to pay for themselves. When that happens, you've pretty much won. And that's just the best case scenario. Extra turns that don't QUITE pay for themselves are still extra turns. This card needs to be built around, but wow.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Enduring Renewal, with so many classic tournament machines running on free artifact creatures, this is a game breaker. And let"s not forget Rings of Brightearth for ANOTHER extra turn without the sacrificing... throw in some Thopter Foundry combo, a Tolarian Academy, some Skullclamps and some Mox Whatever and you have the beginnings of another legendary Vintage tournament champion. and if Enduring Renewal gets blasted, well, there's always Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker...

In my early days I pulled this out of an Alara Reborn booster. It went right into my Esper Deck which ran three copies of Sharding Sphinx. That infinite turn combo actually one me a game that i would have lost if my opponent took another turn, so I denied him of that luxury. 4*
