1st place
I am now ready for Zendikar, I wanted to do 1 Ghirapur Aether grid deck before welcoming the new set
figures i'd post the deck. worked great but no lord, or consuls,

3 Ghirapur Gearcrafter
1 whirler rogue
1 gold forged sentinel
1 thopter engineer
1 akroan sergeant
1 guardians of meletis
1 reclusive artificer
1 ring warden owl
1 maritime guard
1 subterranean scout
1 cobble brute

2 fiery impulse
1 disperse
2 ravaging blaze
1 lightning javeling
1 Anchor the Æther

1 travelers sidearm
1 throwing knife
1 ghirapu Æther grid

0 Consuls

sb
3 fairie miscreant
1 negate
1 calculated dismissal
1 fiery conclusion

This has about 3 less artifacts than I'd like for an Aether Grid deck, but still, good show.

I've probably done about 50 Origins drafts now and I don't remember seeing Thopter Engineer ever. Not once. Not opened, not passed.

Funny, I've gotten them like pick 10!

Deck would be better with more dudes (real ones, not miscreants) instead of Aethergrid and Veteran's Sidearm

I first picked an engineer today, over Demonic Pact, and never saw another thopter maker.
