Hey everyone!
Thopters
This is a mono blue artifact deck with a thopter sub-theme.
The primary strategy is making a bunch of thopter tokens and push them in various ways like
Chief of the Foundry
and
Ghostfire Blade
. Then fly over the opponents' defences and beat them down.
Whirler Rogue
has proven a great win condition too. Lastly,
Ensoul Artifact
on thopters or artifact lands, especially
Darksteel Citadel
, is great to push the tempo early on.
Card draw
Padeem, Consul of Innovation
and
Thopter Spy Network
are in the deck to draw some cards in the mid game.
Sai, Master Thopterist
can draw some cards, as well. Usually I keep my tokens to attack, though.
Planeswalkers
I play two copies of
Tezzeret the Seeker
and
Saheeli, Sublime Artificer
, each. I wasn't able to play with Saheeli much, yet, but so far I've copied
Chief of the Foundry
and that went rather well.
Tezzeret's -Xfetch ability can get any artifact in the deck the turn he enters the battlefield, since the most expensive artifacts cost .
Another nice use of the fetch is getting artifacts for like
Hangarback Walker
,
Ornithopter
or artifact lands.
Side board
For the side board I thought it would make sense to include some counter spells because the main deck is pretty weak on removal, as well as some cars I just like. I haven't completely thought it through, to be honest. Some of the cards are just the rest of the play sets I used to play in the deck.
In my playgroup we usually don't take sideboarding that seriously, so it's more like some kind of first draft for the side board.
Suggestions
I'm currently reworking my less recent decks. I guess this deck is a lot stronger now than when I first built it. Many of the one-offs in the deck are cards I got in boosters over time. When I put them in I broke up some of the play sets I used to play and I feel like the deck has gotten less consistent, due to that. I'm considering giving the deck another fine-tuning, so should I include more of them? Do any of you have good experience with them? What do you think about my deck list in general? Please feel free to leave your opinion and any card suggestions!
Also, I'm generally always open towards land base suggestions. Not my strongest field, I suppose.
Anyway, thanks in advance! Have a good one.
Peace
