Thopter Depths

This looks like the coolest deck--EVER!

this was a first place finisher somewhere, but lots of similar versions are showing up all over ptq's.

Maindeck:

Artifacts
4 Chrome Mox
1 Engineered Explosives
2 Sword Of The Meek
3 Thopter Foundry

Creatures
4 Dark Confidant
4 Vampire Hexmage

Instants
4 Muddle The Mixture
3 Repeal
1 Slaughter Pact
4 Thirst For Knowledge

Sorceries
2 Compulsive Research
4 Thoughtseize

Basic Snow Lands
3 Snow-covered Island
1 Snow-covered Swamp

Lands
4 River Of Tears
4 Sunken Ruins
3 Tolaria West

Legendary Lands
1 Academy Ruins
4 Urborg, Tomb Of Yawgmoth

Legendary Snow Lands
4 Dark Depths

Sideboard:
2 Sower Of Temptation
1 Sphinx Of Jwar Isle
4 Leyline Of The Void
1 Darkblast
4 Deathmark
2 Exile Into Darkness
1 Dimir Aqueduct

What a fun idea! There are some expensive cards here, but this looks like a budget deck compared to some. I may try this thing out. It looks great.

I have 3 dark confidants, 4 river of tears, 1 deathmark, 1 hexmage, 2 urborg, 1 academy ruins, 3 into the roil (instead of repeal...i have the repeals, but i think the roil has more upside, specially vs reanimator or whatnot), and the sphinx.

i need everything else. the expensive stuff is the dark depths ($40 each), the other confidant, the chrome mox ($20 each), thoughtseize ($20 each) and the leyline of void.

you gonna play? you gonna run elf combo?

Im thinking about playing, Ill either run elves or one of a few rogue decks Ive been thinking about...

I just went looking for bob and others and I cant find any... Bob is probably in my monoblack EDH deck, Chrome Mox (1) is probably in 5c Good stuff EDH. other than that I dont think I have any of it. I should have 3 thoughtseizes as well in my MaraLock deck. I should also have an urborg ot 2 around... Ill keep looking.

Repeal is too good vs the format. Its a 1cc answer to so many things & it draws a card to boot. Chrome mox, marit laige tokens, lotus bloom, etc.

Ok so maybe thats the whole list of things it answers for U alone...however, I see the format being too fast to risk running things that cost 4 mana to get the full use out of them.

Zoo and depths seem to be the biggest threats out there and repeal works excellent against them with only 2 mana put into it.
