Title: Help Coffee With Finding a Card Please
Post by: Coffee Vampire on November 11, 2012, 10:44:46 AM
Hi, I am trying to make a modern "On The House" deck. ({Forbidden Orchard} + {Blood Seeker} and stuff)

I need help finding something to get rid of the 1/1s consistantly, yet not kill my own 1/1s. The deck will be esper, with maybe a splash of red for {Varchild's War-Riders}.

If you can think of something like {Engineered Plague}, that easily gets rid of 1/1s, please share! I remember seeing one that worked at FNM (someone else built a deck like this), but cannot remember the name sadly, or even how it got rid of them. Grr.

Also any other cards with the theme that has synergy would help! Preferably low CMC...I think I want 4 to be tops.

Thanks guys. I like sharpshooter a lot. If I decide to keep red in there he will probs make a spot!

Also nice ideas agrus but I am looking to keep the CMC topping at 4.

Yah, I didn't think you'd put her in there, it was worth a shot though

Equip that blood seeker with {Viridian longbow} or {thornbite staff}.

An {isocron scepter} imprinted with {boomerang} or any {lightning bolt} or {shock} type spell will do the trick, too.

Okay turns out {Varchild's War-Riders} is not modern legal...-_- so there is no point in red for this deck.

Thanks for the sugestions. If possible, I want to have a continuous way to kill 1/1s, like an enchantment or something. I know there are some 4 CMC things that keep them from attacking me but I would rather kill them.

i thought of that but I couldn't think of a {Donate} type card

 {Bazaar Trader} but he is only a 1/1
Never mind he doesn't do enchantments

Favorite but most unnececary way to deal with tokens for me is {Izzet staticaster} ;D

Hmm donate and heartless seems good in theory but it is flawed: I won't be able to cast heartless if I already have creatures out. AND Even if I do grt it out first, I still can't cast my creatures (they are 1/1s) until I cast donate. Which may or may not be countered...leaving my deck shut down by my own card.

If you keep red then use  {Electrickery} very evil and hits stupid hex proof.

{Lightmine Field} will keep all of those 1/1s from ever attacking.

Man I forgot all about that card. It could really be evil.

I think lightning field or w/e is the winner. It can even kill 2/1s abd stuff! Thanks everyone, and karma all around! :)

Other suggestions for this deck are still welcomed btw!

I am surprised that no one suggested {Curse of Death's Hold}.

I would probably suggest {Disciple of Tevesh Szat}, {Serrated Arrows}, or {Nine-Ringed-Bo}

 {Izzet Staticaster} might be good

Good toughness with flash and haste so can surprise them with it
