Torpor orb is a bit of a nonbo with foundry+sword...

Good point. Maybe the orb would be better in the board so I can bring it in against stoneblade and other cheaty-face decks.

Personally, I would cut the meek foundry combo altogether, and bring in a second orb and other big things like {Eater of Days}. More things to hit with cloud form, and a backup to just cast it with orb on the field.

Yeah. I wish I got to play more, I'd like to test it both ways, but alas, life.

Alas.

If I have spare time this weekend, I'll load up Eater of Clouds into Cockatrice for some testing.

Awesome, let me know how it rolls.

How's it been testing??

Thetrufflehunter · February 13, 2015, 06:59:39 PM

Played two games, lost first to screw. 1-1 lifetime with this deck.

Falcon182 · March 30, 2015, 01:45:10 PM

I finally pulled the trigger on running this at a local 4 round legacy event. I went 3-1, my only loss was to MUD, where I was able to get my opponent to 1 life on my last turn of turns and my opponent blight steeled me on her final turn of turns.

Overall I felt like this deck does some powerful things but may be just worse than other combo decks. I had a ton of fun playing it though, I'll give it a few more chances. I'll try to post my changes to the deck but I added jace, which was friggin awesome whenever I cast him, and I main fecked moat and snapcaster and took out the torpor orbs. Every time I got out thopter+sword I felt like I was in a commanding position. I'll tweak some and let you all know how the updates go.
