Deck Description

With Sword of the Meek being unbanned on Friday (8 April 2016), I thought I'd have a go at designing a Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek deck.

Cards from SOI:
Choked Estuary

Notes:

Arcbound Ravager would be much better than Glaze Fiend, but it also costs a LOT more money. Mox Opal is not included for the same reason.

I was going to use Fabricate, but with all the artifacts (except Darksteel Citadel) costing 2, Muddle the Mixture felt like a better fit.

Thinking of trying to work in Reshape. I could sacrifice any of the artifact creatures to search for combo pieces as they all cost 2. This can work Especially well with Myr Retriever as it returns an artifact from the graveyard to my hand when it dies... More 2 mana Artifacts with death triggers ate required.

Ignore the sideboard, just running through a few ideas for Reshape to fetch combo pieces.

How to Play

For those who don't know how the combo works:

Step 1: Get both Thopter Foundry and Sword of the Meek out.
Step 2: Pay {1} and sacrifice the Sword to the Foundry. This will gain you 1 life and give you a 1/1 blue artifact Thopter token. Because the Thopter is a 1/1, Sword of the Meek will return to the battlefield attached to it.
Step 3+: Repeat Step 2

NB: The combo is limited by the amount of mana you have to spend on it.

Using this combo, and Time Sieve, we can effectively have infinite turns. All you need is 5 mana to produce 5 Thopters (and gain 5 life) and then sacrifice the Thopters to Time Sieve.
