When I saw Thopter Spy Network, I knew I had to build a deck around it. I started to brainstorm, and asked myself what commander would best support the theme, and I quickly drifted into the obvious Sharuum choices. Esper no doubt has more options for the deck as it is, but I've played a number of Esper decks and just wanted something different to sink my teeth into. Then I started looking at the thopter generating creatures and found the Whirler Rogue, Thopter Engineer, and Pia and Kiran. I had to have red and blue in the deck, but there were no red and blue commanders that fit the "theme" I had in mind. The three creatures I knew I had to use shared one trait outside of being thopter generators. They were artificers, and I only knew of one Legendary Artificer that had both red and blue in their color identity and fit the description of something different.

Enter Mishra.

Now, building a Mishra deck in EDH is pretty much a one way road with a set of cards you just have to use. They include Possibility Storm, Blood Funnel, Praetor's Grasp, and Spelljack among a few others. Being a more "theme" oriented deck and not my most competitive offering, I settled for Spelljack, the new Grenzo, and Storm. Praetor's Grasp and Blood Funnel just didn't fit the theme. If I find another artificer commander in these same colors (or even just red and blue) I might consider making the changes, but until then it's Mishra's Thopter Assembly to steer.

A little side note on this deck: As many EDh players/collectors seek to foil out their decks, I've taken a slightly different approach and am in the process of going OG with it. This means I'm in the process of seeking out original printings (back as far as Beta) of the cards to use.
