Pretty straight-forward Thopter deck. Basic idea is to summon as many Thopters as possible, and slowly poke away at my opponent. If I can get some buffs on my Thopters to speed things up, then why the heck not. Meanwhile, there's a fair amount of burn trickled in for the extra oomph.

Pia and Kiran Nalaar and Whirler Rogue each come with a pair of Thopters, the former being able to launch them for some burn damage. Thopter Engineer only comes with one, but she also comes with the ability to give my Thopters, and all of my other Artifact Creatures, Haste. Hangarback Walker, meanwhile, is nearly limitless in how many Thopters it can summon, with Hangarback Walker + Shrapnel Blast allowing me to kill my Walker, summon my Thopters, and take out 1/4 of my opponent's life. Foundry of the Consuls can also give me a couple of Thopters, if I find myself in a desperate situation.

In addition to Thopter Engineer giving my Thopters Haste, Chief of the Foundry and Obelisk of Urd give my Thopters more Power and Toughness, with the latter also being able to boost my Artificers in strange situations. Chief Engineer lets me use my Thopters to help cast these Artifacts (even though my Obelisk already has Convoke) with Chief Engineer + Hangarback Walker being my personal favorite combo with that.

Lightning Strike for extra burn power or creature destruction, Mindswipe for a bit of countering and a bit more burn, and there's the deck.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!
