I haven't been very active lately, because of lack of time to brew, but I've been tweaking the deck these past few days and wanted to share the list that I've come up with so far.
I still like whir too much to play only 3 copies and I hate having thopter/sword in play + whir in hand but nothing else to tutor for (that would win me the game), that's why I'm going with infinite turns. Besides, without Urza, it is still the best way to win against Tron.
Yesterday I've came up with the idea that maybe it is no longer that far fetched to just dump the enchantment removal from the SB and go with 4 Altar of the Brood + 3 Sai, Master Thopterist.
What do you guys think? Has anyone tried that so far?
I've gone back to my UBg Lantern build and dropped Urza for now.
