Title: Gathering the Hunted

Any hunted card like {hunted horror} and {gather specimens} for a cheap fatty and some tokens for dessert.

Other things you can do for 8 mana or less: {Griselbrand}, {Avacyn, Angel of Hope}, {Craterhoof Behemoth}, {Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite}.. But really, it's a super expensive combo for relatively small gains. You can still use gathering though! Save it for when someone miracles a ridiculously big {Entreat The Angels}!

Hmmm, lots of mana for a 7/7 and a pair of 3/3s, yes....

What if you played a slow control game instead and picked off things with {Helvault}, saving your own dying creatures too?  Then, use a free means of sac'ing the vault ({Throne of Geth}), and casting {Gather Specimens} in response.

{hunted horror} is only two mana, for a 7/7 and two 3/3s?  Or am I missing something?

yeah but the 3/3's have protection from black. so the 7/7 could very well end up useless

I'll just pack some removal spells, or a {mind control} next turn.
