A little bite of legend - feast your eyes on the deck so annoying that by the first hand, many a Cape Town player will grumble in despair.

Strangled Penguin is a budget players dream. It utilises cheap but effective cards in order to create a synergy which can crush both aggro and control.

When in Standard, this deck crushed the reign of the Rakdos aggro, slew the Selesnya tokens and laughed in the face of Dimir, Esper and Azorious control alike.

Now in Modern, it hopes to evolve to take back its throne.

The deck works simply - with the use of Exalted and Auras, pump up Invisible Stalker and use him to ruin your opponents day. Do not flood the board with your creatures, only place as many that are necessary to keep the damage high - oh and don't forget to only attack with one creature. This is exalted gone pro.

The other creatures are mainly here as buffs, blockers or in the case of Obzedat, Ghost Council, reliable drain and attack to feed the Essence Harvest.

Hope this deck let's you crush those rich netdeckers. Good luck!

Edit

Bad showing at FNM, coming 9/10. The reasons for this are two-fold. First being that I was exhausted, second being inconsistent card draws. I was borrowing a set of Polluted Deltas from a friend, so land wasn't the problem. My sole problem was dealing with opponents removing all manner of my cards with a seemingly endless supply of Abrupt Decays or Counters.

These are the aspects of the deck I feel need to be worked on:

Acquire another Sublime Archangel to replace one of the planeswalkers.
Create an actually decent sideboard, replacing Ultimate Price with Go for the Throat.
Formulating a way to deal with removal. Dispel kind of works.
Creating a more consistent Aura collection.
