WARNING PEOPLE WILL HATE YOU FOR PLAYING THIS DECK!!!

The Combo

This Deck is built around the Thopter Sword combo, AKA Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek

The way it works is like so: Pay to activate Thopter Foundry sacrificing a Sword of the Meek, the sword goes to the graveyard and a 1/1 Thopter token enters the battlefield, the swords ability triggers and returns to the battlefield equipped to the 1/1 token.

To go Infinite

NEW: By adding Urza, Lord High Artificer you allow the combo to go infinite. With Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek in play, use Urza's Tap an untapped artifact you control: Add to tap Sword of the Meek, then use that to activate Thopter Foundry and sac Sword of the Meek, when it comes back into play repeat the process.

OLD: By adding Krark-Clan Ironworks you allow the combo to go infinite. As the Ironworks states: Sacrifice an artifact to add to your mana pool, any artifact can be sacrificed including the tokens we pay only for.

Getting the Combo

This deck is running 8 ways to get the combo pieces; 4 Muddle the Mixture and 4 Gifts Ungiven

Muddle the Mixture allows us to Transmute for and search out one of the main combo pieces, Thopter Foundry or Sword of the Meek.

Gifts Ungiven has target opponent chose 2 of up to 4 different cards we chose from the deck and sends them to the graveyard. The 4 cards we chose are Thopter Foundry, Sword of the Meek, Academy Ruins and Crucible of Worlds. Whatever cards they send to the graveyard we can recover with the 2 they let us keep.

The Breakdown

Land

Academy Ruins -- Allows any artifact in the gravyard to be sent to the top of the deck, this can save a sword from cards that exile it like Surgical Extraction for example.

Flooded Strand -- Allows us to get an Island or Watery Grave from the deck.

Island

Oboro, Palace in the Clouds -- Optional, manly used against cards like Choke.

Polluted Delta -- Allows us to get an Island, Swamp or Watery Grave from the deck.

Swamp

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth -- Allows all lands to tap for , great for mana fixing, be careful this can help our opponents as well.

Watery Grave -- Taps for or and can be fetched.

Westvale Abbey   -- One of the alternative Win-cons, best agenst decks with Ghostly Prison effects.

Creature

Snapcaster Mage -- More or less a mandatory for any blue control deck, combos well with Muddle the Mixture when its transmuted.

Wurmcoil Engine -- Another alternative win-cons, big creatuer that gains life and kills cretures and when it dies, it makes two medium creatures that gains life and kills cretures.

Instant

Cryptic Command -- Mostly used to counter any spell and draw a card, but can also tap the opponents team or bounce a permanent, even your snapcasters.

Fatal Push -- The only kill spell in the deck, mostly used early in the game, once we get the combo started we just chump-block everything.

Gifts Ungiven -- Allows us to search out the combo.

Muddle the Mixture -- Can be used to ether counter an instant or sorcery spell or search for a combo piece.

Remand -- Not a full counter but can buy us a turn and draw a card.

Artifact

Crucible of Worlds -- Used for only 2 reasons, to get back an Academy Ruins or a fetch land if we are mana screwed.

Krark-Clan Ironworks -- Allows us to go infinite and make mana from unneeded artifacts.

Sword of the Meek -- A combo piece

Thopter Foundry -- A combo piece

Sorcery

Inquisition of Kozilek -- Hits most things in modern. In game 1, its used to mess with there game plan, in game 2 or 3, used to remove any graveyard and artifact hate.

Thoughtseize -- Hits anything non-land but shocks us. In game 1, its used to mess with there game plan, in game 2 or 3, used to remove any graveyard and artifact hate.
