Let's get to the videos, then I'll talk more about the deck. Once I did that, everything came together, and the deck ended up not only super powerful, but extremely fun to play! I decided to accept the tax and play with Hangarback Walker. Alchemist's Vial was the second best two-drop artifact I could find, which didn't fit the definition of playable. Without Hangarback Walker, UR Thopters is severely lacking in early game plays. Second, I tried to build the deck without Hangarback Walker for the sake of staying on budget, and it simply didn't work. First the three most powerful cards in the deck are four-drops, which can lead to some clunky draws. In the past, when trying to build UR Thopters I kept running into two problems. It feels wrong that no one is taking advantage of these cards, so we are going to rectify the situation! Pia and Kiran Nalaar, Hangarback Walker and Whirler Rogue). Thopter Spy Network and Ghostfire Blade) and a few good enablers (e.g. This week I figured it out, and I'm ready to unveil UR Thopters! There are several powerful "artifacts matter" cards in Standard (e.g. This week we are heading to Standard for a deck I've been trying unsuccessfully to make work for months.

Does a 4 mana enchantment that lets you snack every turn if you're snacking really warrant running? The answer overwhelmingly is no. This narrows somewhat the strength of this card. So, I make a ruling from on high - no gum! Fat Ass wants you to keep eating to keep him big.
But what ultimately tipped the scales was the card itself. In the end, it became clear that the majority of R&D members don't consider gum food and that an even larger group feel gum isn't eaten. Is gum food? Do you "eat" it? Meaty issues. I'm going to grab some rulings from Fat Ass to assist with some of the rulings for the card:Ī: Nope, only chewing, licking, sucking, and swallowing.Ī: You might not believe this, but this question sucked up more R&D time than all the other questions on this list combined. As with Yule Ooze, the power of this card goes up depending on the snack. Today we'll be discussing Thopter Pie Network, a take on Thopter Spy Network from Magic Orgins. Welcome back to my final Cube Card of the Day: Holiday edition. They all thought her dream was just pie in the sky. Whenever a creature token you control dies, if it’s represented by food, eat it.
