Post by: Kaleo42 on July 22, 2012, 02:13:49 PM
Build a deck using {restoration angel} and {thundermaw hellkite} that would have a good shot in a normal fnm. I want to see what all you creative deck builders come up with.
Rules:
Any colors
At least three of both resto and thunder
Please include the appropriate duals regardless of your own collection limitations
Be creative and explain your choices
Sideboard optional
Please post in this thread or under "ANS: (deck name)"

5 mana, haste, flying, simi unblockable for one turn and evasive later. Sounds similar to the sheer power of another 5 drop that formed the metagame back when i first started in rise of eldrazi. Can anyone guess which one?

Can you give at card type it's been a minute since the zendakar block rotated. Don't remember much of the big decks out side of caw blade. But 1st 5 drop that comes to mind is {eldazi monument}.

Before the rein of the titans one ruled supreme with an iron grip on the meta. She was the true queen capable of besting nearly every creature she faced with her first strike, flying, and lifelink, not to mention protection from te demons and dragons that wouldve otherwise bested her.

The queen, the slayer, sword of victory on the wings of faith, {Baneslayer Angel}!

I built a Nata aggro pod with 4 birds, 4 avacyn pilgrims, 4 strangleroot geists, 2 borderland rangers, 3 silver blade paladins because I run kessig wolf run, 4 resto angel, 3 huntmasters, 1 thragtusk, 2 wolfir silverheart, 3 THUNDERMAW HELLKITE, 1 inferno titan, 2 pods, and 3 bonfire of the damned.
The deck works awesome! With silver blade alone I have a lot of win conditions.
I am currently undefeated with it at my fnm. :)

The hardest match up is usually just straight up kill decks.  But they arnt that hard as I keep pumping out creatures or resto angel to save them. Because of resto I have a huge combo with huntmaster and thragtusk lol. I love it when I let huntmaster flip then they try to kill it only to have me resto angel it then get more life and another token. I have been 2 weeks now undefeated
