Title: Livin' On A Whim
Post by: Coffee Vampire on October 02, 2012, 05:43:57 PM
{Rest in Peace} + {Misthollow Griffin} = a win con that comes back no matter what, whenever you want.

I am currently workin on making a deck based on this. I don't know whether or not to splash a third color though. Any help would be cool.

I have been working on this for about 3 weeks. It is difficult to balance this deck idea into something vaible. I have not given up.

So far i have worked with green splash for {alchemist's refuge} and {thragtusk}. Red for {bonfire of the damned} and strong izzet control cards. Black has been difficult to really make work though.

Well why are you trying to force 5 colors in the first place?

It's just that the azorius colore don't support the misthollow combo enough, and every color has its own perks to add. It is iust difficult to find the right one.

{seance} might help you get it there if you don't find a {rest in peace} enough, or it gets removed.
Also just a thought if you used {infinite reflections} on something crazy like {sublime archangel} or {thragtusk} or (take your pick), you could just keep casting the birds from exile for more boss creatures or etb effects. They will get sick of killing a mass amount of them soon enough.

Edit: rather that seance try {back from the brink} that way you get to keep the token :)

Um...im not doing 5 colors. Those are each separate ideas i have played with. Not all at the same time.
