Dunno about some of the card choices, these lists are conceptual, but it does seem like an obvious/pretty good anti creature combo.


Thopter foundry:

Sword of the meek:

And meekstone:

Pretty much, you get a very powerful win condition, and are able to lock down most other winconditions via meekstone...

The first list (UW thopter control) is very simple... You can tutor for some silver bullets via trinketmage, you have stone to tutor up to stop big crits, you have some permission/draw, and finally you have thopter foundry as the win.

The second list is kind of a meekstone fish, incorperating jitte, sss, and bitterblossom.

With bitterblossom AND foundry, you will have plenty of flying 1/1's to equip stuff to, and to murder your opponents in the air while your opponent's crits are tapped. Jitte seemed to fit in nicely with all the flying crits... And there is a lot of pain in the deck, but with foundry and jitte there to gain you life when you need it, it usually counteracts the lifeloss.


I don't know if it will actually work out to be good or not, but it seems pretty good theoretically.


Any thoughts?

4 dead cards against AnT, Zoo, Ichorid, Goblins, Merfolk, Fish, Landstill? Meekstone is an sb card.

You should consider Gideon Jura from Rise of the El Drazi. His interactions with Meekstone are quite nice.

meekstone is awesome against merefolk and zoo.

Don't run +X Meekstone when you could run Trinket Mage, it makes no sense.

Well... I don't want to have less than 2 in the deck, seeing as it is the main critter lock to go along with the foundry.

Should the zoo deck also include CB/top? That's like the only way I can consider trinket mage... Trinket mage with only meekstones to tutor for is kind of pointless.


And about the meekstone, its good against zoo and merfolk which happen to be in my area near some new locals.

How many times does merfolk have 2+ lords? They run 11... threshold critters are all big (monk, prog, goyf, mongoose maybe, vendilion maybe...), and of coarse zoo, almost all of their critters are bigger (nacatl, goyf, thoctor maybe, knight of the reliquary maybe...) that leaves small critters like lavamancer and kird ape.


Its not so good against ichorid or gobbos, but you SB for that stuff... and they're less common than zoo/merfolk nowadays anyways.

It also has the nice bonus of being a colorless solution to Iona if you see reanimator.

Trinket mage with only meekstones to tutor for is kind of pointless.

Another good tutor target for Trinket Mage is Grindstone. Which, with Painter's Servant, is win.

Another good tutor target for Trinket Mage is Sensei's Divining Top. Which you already have in one of your lists. And which can create infinite storm count when you have two of them and, say, Etherium Sculptor.

Dont forget engineered explosives with trinket mage... and a sideboard pithing needle.
