This is my attempt to combine two of my favourite combos: Sword of the Meek + Thopter Foundry and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn + Polymorph .

I built this deck using most of the cards I already own, so it is kinda budgetish.

The ideal curve play (being lucky is always nice) is: - Turn 1: Serum Visions - Turn 2: Thopter Foundry - Turn 3: anything and end-of-turn in opponent phase sacrifice Thopter Foundry to itself to create a thopter token - Turn 4: Cast Polymorph on the thopter token and win the game.

If this is not the case I have some tool to stall the game such:

• Inquisition of Kozilek
• Cast Down
• Remand
• Path to Exile
• Negate

And some other tools to gather combo pieces:

• Serum Visions
• Thirst for Knowledge
• Fabricate

Speaking of mulligan guide it's a must to toss away any hand that is so unlucky to contain Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , beside that I usually look either for hand hate or for draws.

The gameplan is pretty straightforward: control the game and win either cheating Emrakul, the Aeons Torn into play or beating down the opponent with lots of flying thopters.

The sideboard is still under construction because I haven't really tested this deck in a real tournament. The cards I think need an explanation are:

• Iona, Shield of Emeria to swap when facing some mono-color deck
• Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite I facing aggro decks with lots of tokens
• Infernal Reckoning for more tron hate
• Ratchet Bomb is my budget replacement for Engineered explosive

That's pretty much it about this deck, it's quite simple but really fun to play. As I get some result I'll post some update. I'd really appreciate some feedback and suggestion on how to improve the deck keeping in mind that I won't ever be able to buy too expensive cards (for instance Celestial Colonnade or Engineered Explosives or Liliana of the Veil etc). For those medium high price cards I can consider them to be bought in a long term investment. Thanks anyone for the help.
