So i've been messing around with this deck... A LOT since i played this in standard and its really the only deck that really interest me in extended. This is my newest list....
Creatures - 3
1x Teferi
2x Baneslayer Angel
Spells - 26
3x Mystical Teachings
3x Esper Charm
1x Thirst for Knowledge
3x Cryptic Command
4x Spell Snare
3x Mana Leak
1x Logic Knot
1x Muddle the Mixture
1x Extirpate
1x Gifts Ungiven
4x Path to Exile
1x Tezzeret the Seeker
Artifacts - 7
3x Thopter Foundry
2x Sword of the Meek
2x Engineered Explosives
Lands - 24
1x Academy Ruins
4x Marsh Flats
2x Scalding tarn
1x Plains
1x Swamp
2x Tolaria West
1x Ghost Quarter
2x Snow-Covered Island
2x Hallowed Fountain
1x Watery Grave
2x Mystic Gate
1x Snow-Covered Plains
4x Island
Sideboard - 15
1x Faerie Trickery
3x Kitchen Finks
1x Pulse of the Field
1x Extirpate
1x Crovax
1x Celestial Purge
2x Aven Mindcensor
2x Ravenous Trap
2x Dispel
1x Fracturing Gust
The Faerie Trickery is really AMAZING against Thepths because they usually play 2 Thopter Foundry's and only 1 Sword of the Meek, which is your main target. Because once you make Thepths one sided (i.e. only being able to win with DD or Thopter) It makes the matchup thousand-fold easier.
The Finks and Pulse are obviously there for the Zoo matchup, which is surprisingly better than i thought it was.
The rest of the board is for the other main matchups predicted, and even those who havent had a lot of showings, but are always something to prepare for.
Dispel is actually really good as a silver bullet in this deck, against tezz or other control decks, dispel is usually a lot better than spell snare.

I may add 4 fetches, but I won't add more. It requires too much on having big mana that fetches hurt after a few.
So when UR Delver came out to win a GP, did Christian Calcano email/call you and thank you personally, or was there just a mutual understanding?
Legitimately laughed at this...haha
No kidding. +1 internets for a hidden gem in the standard deck help.

Glad to see more people getting back into this thread, im not sure if with or without Thopter is the way to go with this deck. With Thopter. which is what im going with, once you play gifts you essentially win the game. If you know what cards to play around, being able to teachings for gifts, and then locking the game down with thopter-combo seems really good.
But, im no opposed to possibly going with this deck like standard control decks. Playing Thopter-Combo mainboard, and then bring in Baneslayers for game 2 and 3 depending on the matchup.

i don't like the thopter combo in this deck. in my limited testing resolving a teferi usually means you are in a good position. i tried ee but found it to be very lacking against most match ups. i found wrath/doj to be much more helpful. i really think that 3 teferi's is the rights amount. usually bsa or dralnu is seen as a good finisher with teferi. crovax is so good in this format right now too. i feel like you should have a maindeck bounce besides command. repeal or into the roil. also you put the wrong pulse down
