{Angels tomb} on the field and then summon {archwing dragon} and swing for 7 flying damage. When the turn end the statue turns back and the dragon heads back to your hand unharmed, so this combo protects both critters and deals nice damage. Of course this is provided that your opponent won't have any instants to kill them
Good combo but the major flaw in this is now you are wide open for attack on your opponents turn.
The answer is simple do more damage then your opponent

Not always the best strategy
The major flaw is actually that you're talking about {Angel's Tomb}. ;)
I thought I may have had the name incorrect lol
Haha didn't even look. I just assumed that was his name
Theoretically ramp into a t2 tomb and t3 dragon for 7 on t3? It's ok

The problem is that archwing isn't a good enough card to warrant a place in competive decks

It's actually ok in drafts. I've used it before especially in avr and its a 3/3 flyer on your turn. Outside of that? No wayZ

Just think of it of a 3/3 that can't block

3/3 Flying "This creature can't block." for {3}. Gets past most mass removal. Won't die to {killing wave}. S'okay.
I think it would be good in a U/B "Lonely Boy" deck, around {Demonic Taskmaster}, {Demonlord of Ashmouth}, and {Fettergeist}. But hey, I'm cRaZy!!
See jester knows what I'm talking about
I decided to take my mad rantings elsewhere.

It can block...where does it say you can't block with it?
{midnight haunting}
{snapcaster mage}
{restoration angel}
{white suns zenith}
{wolfir avenger}
{ambush viper}
{briarpack alpha}
{darksteel sentinel}
{hollowhenge spirit}
All beg to differ.....😉

You are certainly correct! It's just "conventionally" you couldn't block. With all the flicker & flash effects in Standard, you could use the Tomb as a combat trick too.

Combat tricks win you drafts and sealed :P
