Jhoira's obnoxious? Well, I guess if you combine affinity for artifacts with her card drawing ability, I can see why you might feel that way.
She's a storm commander, dropping cheap artifacts with cost reducers like Etherium Sculptor, Foundry Inspector and Jhoira's Familiar to do things like cast top for free and build storm count/draw into combos. She's just "durdly" and punishing when you aren't playing a dedicated control deck against her. Nothing like sitting there watching them cast their top for the fourteenth time as they draw and continue to dig for a card they actually need. She's as bad as Breya most of the time, though even more focused on her combos and with less interaction.
Sai at least could be a lot more direct than Jhoira with artifact loops creating a legion of thopters to kill with instead of drawing half a deck looking a random wincon. From a more casual standpoint, he would be less likely to get focused all game than Jhoira and Breya.
Shoot, I wonder if that means she's going to end up banned?
At any rate, Sai will fit neatly into her deck.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
I for one welcome the guy. Rewarding you for playing artifacts by giving you even more artifacts is certainly right up my Tezzeret-loving alley. The only thing that saddens me is that Servo Schematic wasn't reprinted in Core 19, it would have been a fun interaction for Standard
Well, Servo Schematic doesn't rotate until October and Core 2019 releases in the middle of this month. You'll still have two and a half months to use them together. So, wish granted!
I was thinking Sai might be good in a salvage chains build with Bontu's monument. I think lifegain has a better play line, but with the one drop fountain that gives a life as a safety net I think the deck has legs.
