Ghirapur Gearcrafter

Creature — Human Artificer

When Ghirapur Gearcrafter enters the battlefield, create a 1/1 colorless Thopter artifact creature token with flying. (A creature with flying can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)

I freaking love this deck. I think this may be my next for-fun deck. I may be substituting a Ghirapur Gearcrafter and a Golem Foundry for some of the cards I am missing or unable to acquire... maybe also pick myself up a Ghirapur AEther Grid . And it may be against the podracing theme, but I like the Indomitable Archangel as an option, and Dread Statuary and Stalking Stones can't hurt for lands in case you find yourself with lots of mana and/or no cards to play anyway.

NoSoyYucateco no it isn't, sine Jhoira's ability triggers on "casting" a historic spell, not an historic card "entering the battlefield". There are a few good cards it interacts with though, like Reckless Fireweaver, but imo it's not worth running it if your deck is not built around it.

HARDsofty This is a nice idea for a deck, I like the vehicle theme. There are a few tweaks I would make without changing the theme of the deck: I think you could run less than 38 lands. The amount of cards you draw with Jhoira should guarantee you a land drop every turn. Also, I would consider cutting Mind's Eye, since you want to spend your mana during your turn, and drawing cards that way. Also, I would include Thopter Engineer, since giving all your vehicles haste is insane ;-) I would cut Ghirapur Gearcrafter for it.

I would also consider cutting both Implement of Combustion and Implement of Examination. They are either expensive, or basically don't do anything. If you are playing them for the card draw, consider instead playing spell bombs, or Chromatic Star/Sphere, since they also offer you utility/fixing/draw.

As for the vehicles, is there a reason you are not playing Aethersphere Harvester, Heart of Kiran, Skysovereign, Consul Flagship or even Cultivator's Caravan? They are a lot stronger than Irontread Crusher, Ovalchase Dragster, Sky Skiff and Renegade Freighter.

I made Jhoira deck as well. It has a lot more smaller artifacts and is buid around casting a lot of cheap efficient stuff, which is clearly not your strategy ;-) but if you want some inspiration, take a look at it.

I feel like this deck is not focused enough on the theme of "make tons of tokens." You have a lot of cards that make tokens, but many of them don't really do it efficiently. Some examples:

Awaken the Sky Tyrant - makes only one token, and only if an opponent lets you make it.

Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts - makes tokens only if your opponents let you

Skyline Despot - makes one token per turn if your opponents let you (or if you leave back plenty of defense)

Ghirapur Gearcrafter - makes one token

Descent of the Dragons - this is secretly a one-shot anthem that doesn't let you attack the turn you cast it

Dragonmaster Outcast - makes one token per turn on turn 6+ if your opponents can't kill a 1/1

Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs - makes tokens if your opponents let you

Custodi Soulbinders - makes tokens for 3 mana each if there are a decent number of creatures out when you cast it

You get the idea.

Personally I'd try to run five or six anthem effects and hit the token makers really hard. I counted thirteen anthem effects in this version of the deck. Also, one anthem effect comes to mind that you aren't running - Jazal Goldmane. That card should play better than either Mikaeus or Ravos (both of which I'd cut).

Efficient token makers you could run: White Sun's Zenith, Bitterblossom (harder to kill than Outcast), Secure the Wastes, Goblin Trenches, Storm Herd, Sacred Mesa, Requiem Angel, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, Thopter Assembly (if you don't run other Thopter makers), Hanweir Garrison, Rise of the Hobgoblins, Twilight Drover. I think Legion's Landing could potentially work in here too - it's inefficient from a mana perspective but it's a one-drop that shouldn't be too hard to flip and at that point it taps for mana. Which brings me to

Lands: There's quite a few lands that I think could play well here. Kjeldoran Outpost, Kher Keep, Vault of the Archangel, Hanweir Battlements (if you run the Garrison), or Windbrisk Heights. Creature lands are also secretly good here because they benefit from your anthems and let you mount an offense even when untapping on an empty board after a sweeper. Ghitu Encampment, Needle Spires, Lavaclaw Reaches, Shambling Vent, Mishra's Factory and so on.

Haste: If you're going to make a ton of tokens, you really want to bash with them right away, before your opponents can sweep your board. I like Hammer of Purphoros here because it makes tokens and Ogre Battledriver because it doubles as a pseudo-Anthem, but there's also Fervor, Anger, Akroma's Memorial and probably other cards I haven't thought of.

I definitely think there's potential for this deck concept. Just remember that Dragon tokens and anthems don't go in the same deck (except Crucible of Fire). Good luck!

Maybe Cloudshift to exploit the ETB abilities of Attended Knight and Ghirapur Gearcrafter? looks good, +1

Switched Ghirapur Gearcrafter out and brought back Thopter Engineer

steakmcc on Pauper Reckless Tremors

Hey! just played you. GGs. I took a look and have some random suggestions:

Fireforger's Puzzleknot -- > Pyrite Spellbomb. Though the puzzleknot might be a bit better right now b/c of lots of boros tokens, I think that Pyrite is just a better card overall. You can take out real creatures with Pyrite (flipped delver, some stompy threats).

I don't think Ornithopter really has a place here. It doesn't really represent that much damage. Maybe I'm wrong here though, b/c of the Reckless Fireweavers.

Maybe find a place for Ghirapur Gearcrafter? Seems decent enough :). maybe over some combination of Scrapyard Mongrel and Ornithopter?

Anyways, fun games! Take my suggestions with a grain of salt ;).

@forforforest, yeah I think it's an underrated card in pauper. It still needs a bit of support though as Ghirapur Gearcrafter is the weakest link, hopefully next set.

What do you think about dropping the bolts in favor of Vines of Vastwood?
