Blink or blink type effects in standard

Standard forum

Posted on March 1, 2015, 1:46 p.m. by abenz419

I was playing a buddy of mine the other day and finally noticed that the dragons part of Outpost Siege says whenever a creature "leaves" the battlefield and not "dies". That got me thinking, is there some way to abuse this ability? The first thing that comes to mind is blink type effects so I can get extra value from creatures leaving the battlefield but I don't know if there is any good ones available in standard right now. I think the closest I can get are bounce effects like from Jeskai Barricade. What are some things you guys can think of?

It will be way too slow. Dealing 1 damage every time a creature get's blinked? That is just too slow.

Its supposed to synergize with Dash, on cards like Mardu Strike Leader or Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury

How's about Temur Sabertooth? I guess it could be used as another win-con in Temur Ascendancy decks or such. /shrug

I made a deck that uses Outpost Siege as one of the combo pieces in a similar fashion to Temur Ascendancy Combo. Check it out.

It's times like these that we remember that Skybind exists. Unfortunately, to get enough Constellation triggers to make it work, you might as well play Grim Guardian.

a Skybind effect is kind of what I was looking for. Something that's repeatable and can be abused not just something I ping them for a couple damage with.
