Jeskai combo: Thopters 4eva

Standard*

greenmonster


Sideboard


Maybeboard


The goal of this deck is to combo off with either infinite thopters or infinite scions.

The thopter combo relies on Whirler Virtuoso and one of the following combinations:

  • 3 Decoction Module
  • 2 Decoction Module+1 Panharmonicon
  • 2 Decoction Module+1 Saheeli Rai
  • 1 Decoction Module+2 Panharmonicon
  • 1 Decoction Module+1 Panharmonicon+1 Saheeli Rai

The scion combo relies on Drowner of Hope+Eldrazi Displacer, plus at least one Panharmonicon.

Decoction Module is the best module, which is why we have four. It's possible to get a soft lock with it and Drowner of Hope (or any haymaker with Detoction Module).

If we have Fabrication Module in play, then we can also give the thopters/scions infinite P/T (moved to Maybeboard, as it's an extra piece that's usually useless).

Note that if we combo off to get infinite scions or thopters, we can then play Fumigate to get infinite life, as insurance against our opponent playing a boardwipe and to close them out of winning by attacking our life total.

Glint-Nest Crane and Aetherworks Marvel help us find missing pieces, along with scrying with Saheeli Rai and Glassblower's Puzzleknot. We can also tutor for pieces by ultimating Nahiri or Saheeli Rai or sacrificing Inventor's Fair.

Other win conditions in Maybeboard/SB: Combustible Gearhulk with a couple Panharmonicons/Saheeli Rai in play. Copying the ETB trigger a few times should get in 18 or so damage.

Animation Module+Fabrication Module+Decoction Module for as many Servos as we have mana (but we need a "seed" to start the chain, usually a creature entering play). If we added this combo to the deck, increasing our number of artifacts, we would probably want Metalwork Colossus, too.

Skysovereign Consul Flagship is also pretty good with Panharmonicon and Saheeli Rai, but expensive.

We could add Pious Evangel for infinite drain, but that would push the deck even further into magical X-mas land territory. (It's clearly already pretty deep in there.)

Fairgrounds Warden is a possibility -- seems good with Panharmonicon. So does TKS.

Haven't tried many match-ups yet. Seems strong against control decks -- can get a lock even against hand disruption. Weak against RG agro and spirits, not sure what the best way to fight these archetypes is.
