Degenerate Targets for GPG
Modern forum

I have a crazy idea for using cards like Faithless Looting and friends to find God-Pharaoh's Gift, while stocking the graveyard with goodies. I need to find the most despicable targets for modern that will get a chair hurled in my general direction.
the card you are looking for is Griselbrand and it already has a deck (grishoalhoard) which combos off far earlier than God-Pharaoh's Gift would. I might look that deck up for inspiration if you're committed to brewing a god pharaoh deck tho.

A few quick gatherer searches gave me some interesting cards

Ochran Assassin is basically a one sided wrath with GPG.

There is Cold-Eyed Selkie as well. But that might be too slow.

Infect creatures are definitely something that work well, lots of the more played ones are cmc 3 or less with 3 or less attack, and Spellskite as a 4/4 could be interesting too.

Stitcher's Supplier would be nice to fill the graveyard.
Which colors to you prefer for your deck?
Mirran Crusader would be fun as a 4/4. Auriok Champion and Soldier of the Pantheon would be the same color.
These three together would be resistent to most removal in the format and would help you keep alive until GPG is online.

I think 7 mana is way too much for modern. Hwoever If your set on this route I'd suggest some eldrazi. A 4/4 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger is still scary even something like Pathrazer of Ulamog is good. Some other options are Nimble Obstructionist as you can stop a fetch land with it and draw a card with its cue effect then it can come back as a 4/4 flyer Voice of Resurgence seems pretty nasty in the deck. Theres also Hour of Eternity

shadow63 I wouldn’t need 7 mana I’d only need 3 with Gate to the Afterlife or four with Refurbish and the rest of the deck being draw/discard plus some aggro

Swiftblade Vindicator works well for similar reasons Mirran Crusader does.
