at first I was playing thopter balence , and I was playing that for a little while . but I decided that I did not like the counterbalence soft lock. it only gained me card advantage, and in a lot of match ups the lock was slow, and at times it did not hit enough.and I really never wanted counterbalence in aggro match ups . but every time I got the thopter combo down I decided that I would usually win. so i decided to focus the deck more on thopter combo instead of the soft lock
so with out a do here is the deck list
3 Marsh Flats
8 Island
1 Plains
4 Flooded Strand
1 Swamp
3 Tundra
1 Academy Ruins
1 Scrubland
// Creatures
3 Dark Confidant
// Spells
4 Thopter Foundry
3 Sword of the Meek
4 Sensei's Divining Top
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Spell Snare
4 Force of Will
4 Enlightened Tutor
3 Counterspell
4 Brainstorm
1 Pithing Needle
// Sideboard
SB: 3 Seal of Cleansing
SB: 2 Engineered Plague
SB: 1 Engineered Explosives my side board so far
MATCH UPS
please note that I have only have limited testing. I would like to do more but dew to school and my playgroup just breaking up . I feel that I do not have enough time or resources to play test this deck any further
MERFOLK 60/40 in 10 matches i have won 6 out of 4
the merfolk match up can be challenging it all depends on how fast they come out of the gates . the cards that matter are there lords so I would try and slow them down by killing off a early lord . and then I would try and race them .
out
-3 counterspells
plus
1 Engineered Explosives
2 seal of cleansing
goblins rb
goblins is really bad but a lot of the time if they have a slow hand or the lack of a early game creature.you might be able to take over the mid game with the combo and race your goblin opponent. you usually are able to get more value out of your mana than your opponent
Out
3 counterspell
In
2 Engineered plague
1 engineered explosives
You need explosives in the event that your opponent to boards in needle .
i feel that this deck has a lot of potential
any thoughts ,fellings ,criticisms
