1. Creatures

This deck consists of Aetherborn, Thopters, and Constructs for creatures; with life link, deathtouch, flying, life gain, counter noncreature spell, and kill abilities.

2. Instants and Sorceries

You have instants and sorceries that work as kill cards, heal gain, spell counters, scrying, and draw cards. Your spells and creatures with Life link and life gain help create a health point faucet.

3. Enchantments

Your Enchantments are going to give your Aetherborn and others flying, as well will help turn extremely affordable Thopter's into deadly flying creatures.

Tips on how to play..

• Use Tezzeret's Touch with Ornithopter or Hope of Ghirapur for low cost 5/5 with flying.

• Use One With the Wind on Contraband Kingpin, Gifted Aetherborn Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Midnight Entourage for flying and counters, or on the Thopter's after you've used Tezzeret's Touch.

• Inventors' Fair + Tezzeret, Master of Metal are both great for pulling Noxious Gearhulk from your deck.

• Inventors' Fair + Battle at the Bridge + Noxious Gearhulk + Contraband Kingpin + Gifted Aetherborn act as a life point faucet from their effects and abilities.

• Use Disallow to counter any spells, you can use Hope of Ghirapur if the situation arises to counter non-creature spells for a turn. If enchanted with Tezzeret's Touch when sacrificed, Hope of Ghirapur will come back to your hand.

• This deck has lots of scrying and card drawing through Contraband Kingpin and Opt, as well artifact pulling abilities with Inventors' Fair + Tezzeret, Master of Metal.

• Your kill cards are Fatal Push, Battle at the Bridge, Noxious Gearhulk, and Disallow can be used to counter a creature spell as it's being cast onto the battlefield.
