Notes:
So I was searching through some old cards when I found some angel of glory's rise that I used to play in the standard combo deck from a few formats ago. 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 I originally made a turbo combo deck but it ended up almost 5 colors and rather slow so I thought I'd just dump it into a control deck and see where it goes.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?

I don't know I haven't tested it. I figure it just plays like jeskai control except it can just randomly win out of nowhere.

Maybe one more angel for consitencies sake. Also, why not {banished priest} over the hunter?

{Fiend Hunter} can permanently exile things.

I 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.

For those who don't know what the combo is let's me explain:
1. Have a blasting station on board
2. Have a fiend hunter in the graveyard
3. a. Summon angel of glory's rise
    Or
    b. Use unburial rites to cheat in angel
4. Use angels effect to reanimate hunter
5. Exile angel with hunter effect
6. Use blasting station to sac the hunter and deal 1
7. Angel re-enters the battlefield and reanimates hunter
8. Wash, rinse, repeat

You 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.
