This is an updated version of the first deck I made when I started playing mtg. It works by manipulating the Fiend Hunter + Cloudshift permanent exile trick. The way this goes is you cast Fiend Hunter, the trigger goes on the stack, in response to the trigger cast Cloudshift on Fiend Hunter putting the leaves the battlefield trigger on the stack. Let the Cloudshift resolve, Then Fiend Hunter's enter the battlefield trigger will go on the stack again. So now the stack resolves in reverse order. So the last creature you targeted gets exiled under the fiend hunter. Then the leaves the battlefield trigger resolves doing nothing. Then the first enter the battlefield trigger resolves exiling the the first target permanently since the fiend hunter is now a new object with no relation to it's first target. This was the foundation for the deck and so Suture Priest made a lot of sense to gain life and ping the opponent a bit. Flickerwisp being in the deck gives an excuse for Hallowed Moonlight as when the flickerwisp delayed trigger resolves if Hallowed Moonlight was cast then the target creature would go back to exile. Brimaz, King of Oreskos is a powerhouse that dodges Lightning Bolt and works well with both Suture Priest and Sublime Archangel. Restoration Angel is another way to abuse the enter battlefield triggers of Fiend Hunter and Flickerwisp. I'm testing out Squadron Hawk as a high value early play that triggers Suture Priest potentially 4 times. I'm also looking in to building inherent anti-mana flood to the deck. This is where the utility-lands fit in to the deck. So Mystifying Maze and Forbidding Watchtower. However I would not be opposed to finding a 2 drop that was good on it's own as well has mitigating the problems of mana-flood.
