Immortal Rider?
Deck Help forum

SO I'm trying to make Gift of Immortality work...mostly on ashen rider. So, we know she's costly, and I'm trying to find ways around the mana problems. Burnished Hart with Gift of Immortality =sac every turn shenanigans? I like. Mana boosters such as Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Crypt Ghast ought to do enough as well.
The main thing is, I feel like this deck is garbage, and I want it to not be garbage, so please lend me your attention for a few minutes and give me advice. Thank everyone so much in advance!

Yeah, even if we were to splash green right now, there's no absolute solid way to guarantee she gets out. I feel like these decks are based on hope right now xD

Have you considered Liliana of the Dark Realms for the mana?

Yeah, but that's how all decks start out. I also have a GW hexproof thing that just seems to be missing one or two cards to be "there" on a competitive level. I'm really hoping the next expansion set contains those cards for both decks.
I'm still going to assemble this one and take it to FNM. If I get the Immortal Rider out even once it'll be worth it to see the look on my opponent's face.

Well I have the 3 Burnished Hart s in there for land fetch, I think I like it better than Liliana of the Dark Realms because it's not just swamps you can fetch, plus I can gift of immortality on it as well. Although...that two black devotion...This has certainly given me more to think about, thank you MadDreams.
actiontech, I'll take a look at your hexproof deck and see if I can think of anything, I didn't know you had one! I second the immortal rider deck at fnm, I hope I can throw it together before friday!

I had Liliana in my deck at first, but there were just so many other cards that worked better I pulled her. If anything she's probably a 1 of. Here's the hexproof deck:
Theros Hexproof Lifegain

So, just realized something....Festering Newt with Gift of Immortality and the Bubbling Cauldron ....I think I found my one drop.

Bogbrew Witch would be a contender for the team as well...especially with her searching ability.

Haha sounds like a good plan. Sneak in Angelic Accord too maybe?

I had a build based around those, so I'm not entirely too sure how that would work out. If I did throw in angelic accord, I would want to reevaluate how the entire deck works, and make it one giant combo deck like the old one I had:
Humans and zombies and angels, oh my!
I'll give it some thought for sure, thanks for refreshing the idea! lol

I think I've done all I can on this front. Maybe the next expansion will have some more graveyard shenanigans which will make it easier to get her out initially but for now I think we're everything possible to cheat her out as fast as possible.
