+1, i like the deck, and i like nephilim also. I love using Act of Treason + Might of the Masses as my wincon, but i also like Stun in a nephilim deck. Nothing can block, draw a card per creature on the field, for 2 mana. Burst Lightning becomes Pyroclasm , and with Nivmagus Elemental , you can use all of the annoying target effects like Doom Blade , but then exile the copies targeting your creatures, then get a very powerful Nivmagus Elemental

Really love this idea. My personal favorite of the ETB trigger creatures has got to be Stonehorn Dignitary and that has always been too slow for modern. I like this take. well done.

Yeah, you remember last standard season where you could go turn 4 Stonehorn Dignitary into turn 5 Venser, the Sojourner . That was awesome. Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

+1 really like the deck idea, but to me it feels a bit vulnerable to Doom Blade and stuff. Let's say you play your Nephilim on turn 5, and suddenly all your creatures are dead... as well as the opponents.

So make sure, that you always have open mana for Cloudshift or Momentary Blink

Was there ever an extended with turn 3 Vendilion Clique into turn 4 Mistbind Clique into turn 5 venser? 'Cos that would've been insane.
