Help Wanted: Budget Misthollow Griffin

Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 12, 2018, 3:36 a.m. by Not_Yet_Flawless

I'm trying to build a casual deck revolving around Misthollow Griffin and Manipulate Fate. The plan is to prevent my opponent from playing anything substantial with cheap counters, and stopping any threats they do manage to get out. Since there are 4x Manipulate Fate, I'm thinking that I can run some archetype hate and filter out any cards that don't fit the match up. The problem is I don't know what cards do this best. Any suggestions for hate cards, or feedback in general, would be much appreciated.

Have you considered adding some cards with Delve to your deck? Given the number of sorceries and instants you have, your graveyard will probably be quite full, allowing you to cast fairly powerful cards for cheep (as well as put a killed Misthollow Griffin into exile, allowing you to cast it again).

Eternal Scourge is a 3/3 for 3 which can be cast from exile. Though it lacks evasion and easily is exiled by anything, it still provides a solid, repeatable body which can be recast as soon as it is removed.

Your username has inspired me to comment, though I have no ideas.
