Ugin's Nexus

You like draw-pass? Think twice about Think Twice (tm)

Thought Scour is great because Sword of the Meek works from the grave. Reshape is amazing with this deck as well. I would cut the cryptic because they are too slow imo. I would maybe run some cheaper counters because late game you should be dominating or you lose regardless. I like Spell Pierce. I would also cut some mana leaks because early game having two lands open becomes a pain. If you don't I would add a bit of ramp like Mox Opal(also leaves more sac outlets late game). Time Sieve is absolutely broken late game. I will be brewing a ton with this combo.

Just heard about the un-banning of Sword of the Meek and immediately set about figuring out how to make the deck. My initial theory was to go tempo/control until you could dig up the combo... low-and-behold that is exactly what you did here.

I picked up a few Thopter Foundrys years ago but never ended up doing anything with them and now I am really considering dropping my current Modern project to start building one.

+1 mate, keep up the good work

This looks like the absolute tits. I'm going to be playing this now. +1!

Where is Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas?

LikeMike Glad you asked, this deck is a huge work in progress and I haven't had the time to test it in its current form. One of the Tezzerets are probably correct, but, again, testing is definitely required.

I really like your list. Some guy on /r/spikes wrote a pretty insane primer on a UB Tezz ThopterSword deck that looks insane. I'm a big fan of your list for the reason that it doesn't rely heavily on black - I'd like to put together more of a draw-go UW version of the deck.

Thanks! :D Originally the list was UW and I had an Esper variant on my profile. After testing, I found that Esper was the most viable and proceeded to make cuts accordingly to this deck. This is its current state, and I'm looking to include either Tezz for better searching and just value. Thanks for looking :)

What about Disciple of the Vault for the pinging or Krark-Clan Ironworks for the infinite tokens/mana/life?

benwaeseperlman Disciple and Ironworks are just too cute for the deck. They do nothing when the combo isn't out.

What about adding Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas? It can dig for your artifacts, win through Stony silence (if you don't draw esper charm) by turning your now useless artifacts into 5/5s and drain to either help you stabilize or as a win condition.

And isn't Time Sieve also to cute? You only play 10 artifacts when the combo isn't out.

You're not wrong, I was actually going to remove it since it's done nothing in testing. It's only good when the combo is out. I still hold that one of the Tezzerets are correct, Agent is good, but Seeker puts things directly into play. I believe that siding out Agent into Seeker -> Needle is outstanding in the mirror. For the reasons of being too slow or just durdly, Sieve, Reshape, and Star are being removed from the deck.

I suggest artifact lands, namely Darksteel Citadel, for better fluency with Tezzert

I would replace 1 Supreme Verdict for 1 Thopter Assembly

infinite turns

3 Supreme Verdict's main boarded seems excessive when you have discard and spot removal and control.

I'm trying to get into Modern and I have a few questions. First, I noticed that Thopter Swords decks aren't even on MtgTop8. Is it not that well positioned right now or is it just not that good in Modern? And why did you choose Esper and not Grixis, Jeskai, or the Gifts variant?

I like the deck, though. What do you think about Inventor's Fair? And do you think that Kaladesh is going to help Thopter Sword at all?
