ok, so i thought of obnixilis in standard because the fetches came out so i'd like to hear what you guys think about it.
And please link any cards.
Which one did you mean, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen or Ob Nixilis, Unshackled? I may have been confused as to which one you meant

Well he said standard so it has to be Ob Nixilis, Unshackled. The other can't be played in standard.

I've thought about playing him in a Whip of Erebos deck and whipping him in in response to cracking a fetch. Thats the best I've got.

@Dalektable Whip of Erebos can only be used at sorcery speed.
I think Obnixilis would be best used in a Abzan or G/B Constellation/Devotion/Reanimator build.

I thin standard reanimator is the best bet too. I think where he really shines is in a commander deck. Fetcjes, tutors, etc are a huge part of the game and he wouldn't be that hard to get on the field. He pairs nice with Malaren of the Mornsong.

Slayne That's unfortunate. Forgot about that, I've never used the card haha.

Yea I don't think he's found a home I'm standard yet. Maybe after fate reforged

I've seen someone Chord him up in response to a cracked fetch. That was pretty neat.

Yeah seems like a hate card you want to flash in in response to playing against a deck with library searching: eg. fetches.

In abzan whip he can be fun, especially with Duneblast.

He's in the sideboard of my mono-black standard deck. I pull him out when I come up against someone I know likes fetch.

[prophet of kruphix] + [ob nixiliss, unshackled] funny when it happens.

First off, shouldnt this be in the Standard forum?
I think he is a bit slow for Standard, but an attempt could be made. You would probably need some effects to force it though.
