Okay. So, I have a few questions...

How can I make my Soul Sisters list better?And why can't I play mono red tokens?
I have a pet card in Thopter Foundry but I don't have the money for Legacy. Is there enough synergy in Modern to warrant it's use? What could I build to use it? Could it be competitive?

Hmm, it's a Win Moar card with Wurmcoil Engine. Isn't there an artifact that breaks up into a bunch of 1/1 artifact tokens that I can play to sac? Maybe there is a deck that could use it, and we're just not seeing it. Alternatively, I could be chasing a pipe dream of sorts. I'll do some brewing for a while. Why did they have to ban Sword of the Meek? UGGGHHHHH

They banned Sword of the Meek because and instant speed mana sink that nets life and bodies is insane in UWx control.

Umm, that actually makes sense now. Sorry for the uneducated whining. Also, it seems like it has an interesting synergy with Ichor Wellspring and maybe Myr Retriever.

It's fine, many people don't understand why a card is banned because they personally wouldn't do anything broken with it. They had to ban one of the 2 cards and the sword has more potential to be broken again.

Sorry, probably could of written that better to show the combo between the two.
About the Ichor Wellspring and Myr Retriever idea, that sounds okay, but it doesn't have much consistency; definitely not enough to be viable. Maybe the Myr Retriever, but only with infinite mana, and there's a lot better things you could do with infinite mana. Helix Pinnacle and Blue Sun's Zenith to name a couple.

Well, thanks for the slight lesson in R&D's job. I mean, I knew of the combo, but I didn't think it was that broken. So, now I'm just left to try to brew something viable with the card.

Does a U/w combo/control deck using Cathodion, Semblance Anvil, Myr Retriever, Thopter Foundry, and the normal U/w control package stand even a chance? If not, I think I can just give the idea up until they print a way to abuse the Foundry again.

Seems a little janky, but it works. Test it out and see how it plays.

Hmm, alright. And besides, this gives me an excuse to buy Cryptic Commands and Remands. Just gotta wait until my next few paychecks haha.

Yeah, it gets a little overwhelming sometimes. If all else fails, I'll just build U/W pure control with the most painful win con I can think of.

Not particularly to my knowledge, as most artifacts in Modern are either better than a 1/1 Thopter and a life, or not good enough to run in Modern. Sword of the Meek is the only real way to get value out of the card, outside of Time Sieve.
