Haunted plate mail for standard

Deck Help forum

Posted on Aug. 15, 2013, 4:39 p.m. by zachi

So i just keep looking at Haunted Plate Mail and i just want to make a deck with it. I dont mind if its casual, but i wouldn't mind playing it in standard. So i would think you would run 4x Haunted Plate Mail . probably 4x Darksteel Ingot , 2x Darksteel Forge 2x Trading Post . Now i know i wouldn't be able to do colorless for this, so im thinking about putting this in a W/U deck for control against artifact hate and probably put good equips so if someone uses Supreme Verdict or Merciless Eviction declaring creatures, i can equip the plate mail and swing in. Any thoughts on this idea?

One of my buddies brewed up a control deck that runs one Haunted Plate Mail , two to four Mutavault , and a bunch of board wipes. The deck still uses a single AEtherling .

The cool thing about Haunted Plate Mail and Mutavault is that you can activate Haunted Plate Mail then activate Mutavault , giving you two creatures. Once you drop AEtherling , you can then just equip Haunted Plate Mail .

I don't think you need four Haunted Plate Mail , four Darksteel Ingot , etc. etc. Just a one-of in a control shell would do the trick. It would also be an amazing card in a mono-black control deck that runs four Mutilate .

That is true. I could honestly see Haunted Plate Mail being used in any deck that has alot of creatuer hate

i like it. Im curious if you could go something a little more aggro with this idea though. I mean it would be hard to keep the plate mail
