Crap that sounds like a fun idea. I'm out of the loop post-Scars, so I missed that one... but yup. That's gonna happen. Thanks!

That would definitely work, but double if not triple the cost of a kitchen table deck, haha. Ah, if only...

You sacrifice Sword of the Meek as part of the cost to activate Thopter Foundry's ability, so before the ability happens the Sword is in the graveyard. Think of it as two steps, first you pay the cost in full and second you get to do the ability. So when that Thopter comes out onto the field, the Sword is sitting nicely in the graveyard, ready to hop up onto it.

This version is awesome for kitchen table MtG - but there's just way too many pieces for the combo to consistently go off in tournament play. I believe a "better" version of this deck would ignore the Pili-Pala/Grand Architect combo and run more control or something, but for casual play I just don't want to, haha.

Good suggestions, and I have most of those in my binder as well. The Protean is easily swapped for Khalni, for sure. Yeah, I used to run Lure in this but I never got it and Engulfing out often enough... might as well ditch the Engulfing as well, then.

Thanks! It's easy to shut down, but fun in multiplayer if everyone ignores you for long enough.
