Temporary Card Replacements.

Deck Help forum

Posted on Feb. 22, 2013, 2:42 p.m. by The Doctor

So I plan on playing my deck Geist, ahAHHH, Savior of the Universe! tonight, but I am missing a few cards.

They are the following :

2x Geist of Saint Traft

2x Lingering Souls

1x Restoration Angel

1x Obzedat, Ghost Council

Thoughts for temporary replacements if I can't trade for the cards before FNM?

4x Storm Crow

2x Chimney Imp

Your opponents won't be able to handle the awesome.

I probably should have mentioned this is standard, but I figured it would be apparent that it is so considering I mentioned FNM.

Moonsilver Spear instead of the geist, perhaps. card:Geralf's Messenger instead of Obzedat? That's not a great one.

I would go with Midnight Haunting in place of Lingering Souls , Maybe Angel of Serenity in place of Restoration Angel , Crypt Ghast instead of Geist of Saint Traft and Drogskol Reaver in place of Obzedat, Ghost Council .. Hope you like these suggestions...

I agree with most of these ideas.

I would also throw in the idea of using a few Invisible Stalker s or Tormented Soul s.

Either will get a little dmage through cheaply and effectively. Stalkers have the bonus of Hexproof, but Tormented gets the bonus from Drogskol Captain . Equipped with a Moonsilver Spear , you have yourself a make-shift Geist of Saint Traft , with angels that aren't attacking when they enter... but they stick around.

Just as a note, my LGS has a Modern FNM every other week. So just mentioning FNM isn't always synonymous with Standard.

Hollowhenge Spirit can serve as a sort of resto angel, as it has flash and can also cause combat shenanigans. Cloudshift can stand in if you're after the blink effect. Bloodhunter Bat can act as a watered down obzedat, especially if you blink with resto. Droskol Reaver works too if the CMC doesn't scare you away. I would say Tormented Soul to stand in for Lingering Souls with Moonsilver Spear s instead of the geist.

Thanks guys. Thankfully, I was able to pick up most of the cards before FNM started, and was only missing the Obzedat, Ghost Council in the end. I just threw in a Geist-Honored Monk , and wound up going 2/0/1, placing me in second.
