This is probably one of my favourite decks to play. When I play I like huge stacks and multiple triggers.

With this aura/hexproof deck, dominate the opponent with a hexproof, unblockable pimped up badass.

When you're rocking an Invisible Stalker with ciphered Hidden Strings, Curiosity, Invocation of Saint Traft, Spectral Flight and Battle Mastery you'll have no end to card draw, mana ramp and damage output.

The main problem with the deck thus far is that you must have an Invisible Stalker or Geist of Saint Traft to actually do anything. I don't enchant the Judge's Familiar as it doesn't have hexproof and dies too easily. That's where I had considered adding in Swiftfoot Boots that way even if I didn't get the stalker or Geist I'd have another option, and then later if i do draw one I can switch the boots over to give haste. The other option would be switching the judge for Slippery Bogle.

Combos:

Battle Mastery + Hidden Strings + Invisible Stalker = tap or untap up to 4 permanents (can be land to play more things in second main-phase)

Battle Mastery + Curiosity + Invisible Stalker = draw an extra two cards every turn

Invisible Stalker + Invocation of Saint Traft = 4/4 flying angel every turn.

Geist of Saint Traft + Spirit Mantle = 3/3 hexproof, protection from creatures (unblockable) and 4/4 flying angel every turn.

I'm still trying to work out a sideboard. I think it'll be a total switch up to throw off opponents. Maybe 4x Mana Leak, 4x Detention Sphere and some more control.

If the opponent is playing a lot of board wipes bring in your counter spells and make sure you keep the mana available.

Let me know what you think, any suggestions and support would be great!

  • Judge's Familiar - One creature I'm torn about. It doesn't have hexproof which makes it a bad target for out auras. The reason this is in here is it's a U/W, 1/1 flyer meaning I'll always be able to get it out T1 if it's in my starting hand. Having flying makes getting damage through early with Curiosity possible. Lastly it's sacrifice, counter ability is super useful. It means Supreme Verdict, Wrath of God, Mutilate, Damnation all have to be played T5 now.

  • Geist of Saint Traft - Absolute beastly powerhouse. Hexproof makes enchanting him relatively safe. With a Spectral Flight or Spirit Mantle he'll usually always be safe during combat, and the 4/4 angel just sets him over the top. Love the reprint artwork, had to buy 4 foils.

  • Invisible Stalker - 2cmc hexproof and unblockable. He fits into the curve perfectly. T2 stalker and then T3 Invocation of Saint Traft. He will usually always be the tar, curiosity and invocation.

  • Hidden Strings - Acts as a mana acceleration or acts as vigilance for a creature when needed. This can also tap down opponents lands or creatures if needed. Ciphered onto unblockable means this happens every single turn. With Battle Mastery you'll find it's amazing.

  • Path to Exile - Simple removal

  • Invocation of Saint Traft - Doesn't really need an explanation. Attach to your stalker and swing for bulk damage.

  • Spirit Mantle - Usuaully put onto Geist of Saint Traft to essentially give him unblockable. Also makes any creature a nice blocker.

  • Spectral Flight - +2/+2 makes the opponents life drain faster and the flying will often help damage get through for those ciphers and curiosity.

  • Curiosity - Absolutely essential in keeping up card advantage. Battle Mastery means this will draw you 2 cards every single turn.

  • Battle Mastery - Doubles damage output, and has bonus benefits when combined with Curiosity and Hidden Strings
