I've always admired the deck Thopter Depths, and so I wanted to pay homage to it in the form of an EDH deck. I chose Bant colors, as U/W is my favorite color combination, and I wanted green for the ramp and enchantment hate. This deck utilizes the ability to go wide or big into one creature through the use of token generators and our general Jenara. I wanted to make a powerful but "fair" deck. I try to avoid tutors for EDH, but more specifically I try to avoid them because I don't like infinite combos. Combo decks usually leave a bad taste in somebody's mouth at the end of the night, so I wanted a deck that could win a variety of ways, while still feeling fair to my opponents.

**Yes I know Rafiq is a better beater, but he gets a lot of hate when you sit down at a table, whereas Jenara can fly under the radar.

All creatures are placed into the deck with the idea of adding value, either to our tokens, or in the form of card draw.

Let me know what you think of the deck, so comments are always appreciated. If you like what you see, please give it a +1 if you like what you see!
