UW thopter gifts (originally by Gerry Thompson). Basically a control deck with a couple combos jammed into it. The first combo consists of Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek. You get them both in play, sac Sword to Foundry, get a thopter and 1 life, bring back Sword attached to the new thopter, and repeat. The other combo is to use Gifts Ungiven getting Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite as well as Unburial Rites. Both get sent to the graveyard, then you can flashback Rites to reanimate Norn and usually win.

Cool interactions:

a) Gifts for Supreme Verdict, Day of Judgement, and Wrath of god

b) Transmute Muddle to tutor a thopter/sword combo piece

c) Transmute Tolaria West for an Engineered Explosives or Academy Ruins

d) Gifts for Sword of the Meek, Thopter Foundry, Tolaria West/Muddle the Mixture, and Academy ruins. You then can access the Thopter/Sword combo no matter what your opponent gives you.

e) Gifts for Engineered Explosives, Detention Sphere, and Oblivion Ring (For threats you can't deal with otherwise, like planeswalkers)

Open to all suggestions; this is just a place to start
