My idea is too make a {R}{U}{G} deck based around both {invisible stalker}, plus things like {Spectral Flight} and {rancor} etc.
Another thing (since its in my colors) would be the {izzet staticaster}+{nightshade peddler} combo, and due to being on a budget i think it would be one of the best decks i could make.m
And after i playtest it a bit i may add burn to the mix.
What do you think of this idea? Consistent or not? Also cards you think would have a place in here would be appreciated.

Can you afford Bant Hexproof?   Only expensive card in the whole deck is  {Geist of Saint Traft}

Personaly I prefer equipment that does more than just boost. Though if you really want to take full advantage of unblock able creatures. You might want to look into the cipher mechanic from gatecrash. It basically gives your creatures a combat ability, and some of them are really troublesome for the opponent.

You could even look into {fog} as it will help you attack with everything (and I mean everything ) and not take any damage when the opponent attacks. I've found more uses for fog then just that as well

Bant Auras ({G}{W}{U}) is a sort of dying thing. I see that you wanna do the {Nightshade Peddler} + {Izzet Staticaster} combo too, I think it's a bit of an identity crisis.

What is the combo there? I think I'm missing something

Pair the two and the statiscaster has deathtouch, making it be able to kill any non-indestructble creature with its tap and ping ability. Especially effective against tokens.

I always picture it like a gattling gun, haha. It just mows down other creatures

Yeah man, its pretty sweet. And since it involves {U}, you can easily add counters to protect both creatures.

Wow did I just learn something or what. Up until now with you guys and looking up the rules, always thought deathtouch was combat only. I've just been schooled!

Mikefrompluto

That's actually what I always thought until this combo was discovered.

I know eh, could have sworn up and down that it was combat damage only. But hey good to know!

It worked before with {Goblin Sharpshooter} and {Basilisk Collar} 😁
{Basilisk Collar} with Living Weapons was pretty sweet too!

EDIT: {Mortarpod}, couldn't remember the name

Mikefrompluto

Dang that's an even better combo. I assume that combo is why they're so expensive.
