The key idea is to use Sydri, Galvanic Genius's ability to get extra value out of trash artifacts like Sphere of the Suns or Prized Statue by using them as creatures rather than outright sacrificing them.

Notes:

-vehicles are noncreature artifacts

-you can use Sydri, Galvanic Genius's ability on opponent's artifacts if you want to give them summoning sickness. However, they can tap in response to this. But it still may be useful to make them activate an ability at the wrong time.

-similarly, transform opponent's equipment into artifact creatures to make the equipment fall off

-I think that you can transform Power Depot into an artifact creature and not have it die. Normally lands are zero cost, so a regular artifact land would become a 0/0 artifact creature. Here the +1/+1 means it should survive.

-Artifacts transformed by Sydri, Galvanic Genius's first ability will trigged "if a creature dies" effects
