Upon seeing this card I thought maybe there's a way to bring it into modern so I searched and searched for fast and effective ways to combo kill with this card. I finally came to hunter+angel+blasting station as the most efficient and splashable combo. I originally made a turbo combo deck but it ended up almost 5 colors and rather slow so I thought I'd just dump it into a control deck and see where it goes. Hope you like my best effort at making something new and give any suggestions please. |

Any deck with Fiend Hunter is good in my book. How does the deck fare?
Quote from: Munchlax on December 26, 2014, 12:48:56 AMI was thinking about running two angels but I know it would terrible to draw one with a looting so I thought it might be kinda risky running more than one but I guess it's probably right to run two. Also I don't run banisher priest because it says opponents creature so you can't combo with it.
Maybe one more angel for consitencies sake. Also, why not {banished priest} over the hunter?
Quote from: Munchlax on December 26, 2014, 09:28:29 AMYou know I was looking at that card and was wondering if it was viable. If it was an instant maybe but being sorcery I don't think it's playable. If you don't want to play red then it would probably be a good replacement for faithless. I just really wanna play red cause faithless is too good and anger in the side is almost nessicary if you ever want to beat pod.
So why not {Taigam's Scheming}?
