This is my version of a budget thopter sword combo deck. It started with Time Sieve in the main board for a functionally infinite combo (Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry + Time Sieve + 5 lands). After some discussion, I've moved it to a one of in the sideboard to tutor for in match ups where its needed like the "mirror" or Tron. The point of the deck is to reliably get Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry online as soon as possible and ride the value to victory. FYI I'm splashing white just for Supreme Verdict, because I can't afford Damnation.

The sideboard otherwise has a lot of combo protection, and some appropriate controlling spells. And I've added a one of Tasigur, the Golden Fang as an alternate threat, and it can recur combo pieces.

Any comments are welcome, but please remember that I am on a budget, so while Ensnaring Bridge would be amazing, cards like that and Cryptic Command are just unavailable to me right now.

Color Change and Gifts Ungiven — July 14, 2017

Edit

Thanks to some great suggestions, I was able to cut white by replacing Supreme Verdict with Languish. I also added Gifts Ungiven as a useful tutor which led to the decision to put one Whir of Invention in the board for one Muddle the Mixture. I acquired an Academy Ruins on the cheap, but for others I was previously using Buried Ruins. Lastly, I made some changes to the board. Thanks for all the help & when I have some game results (I forgot from before) I will try to post them!
