So the shell I based this list on was a jund/Abzan style. I like the way Thopter foundry runs but I don't like counter spells so I chose to go with a more Grundy disruption shell with removal and threats such as {Pack Rat} and {Tasigur the golden fang} and {kitchen finks} not to mention the lingering souls will be fun.

I don't see the combo, what is it?

Codester1991

{Thopter Foundry}+{Sword of the meek}= bunch of Thopter tokens every turn

That plus the {time seive} means infinite extra turn.

I feel like you're trying to hold your opponent off for as long as possible for the combo so a creature with a cheap regenerate and cascade seemed decent to me, although I haven't play tested yet lol

4 mana for an unknown card (cascade is uber powerful) but in this deck 4 mana for an 0/1 regen that hits something like Thoughtseize or even anguished on an empty board seems pretty bad to me

Going to run this next fnm! Updated my list.

Okay so ideal plays
T1 Inqu or tseize
T2 foundry or sword
T3 foundry or sword
T4 grand architect=infinite tokens

Then find a time sieve and troll them.
