"So many combos, and they'r all great" -a peer review (check the "archive"-section for change log and discussion).
THE NORTH WILL RISE - INFINITE TOKENS, LIFE AND DAMAGE! Possibility to win turn 4. If you like it, please +1 upvote, and please do not forget to read all the description!
There is underlying Nordic-theme here. The good and god-fearing folk of Kaleva (white and green) fight the monsters from far North (black) but because of dualism of man there are also monsters within.
For example
Rustic Clachan
represents a typical medieval village at Tavastland, and Fiend Hunters are the traditional heroes in Kalevala.
And lastly, thank you so much stopping by, showing your support and providing creative feedback. I am changing the deck as much as possible based on suggestions and comments I get, taking into account how affordable the cards actually would be.
(Plus, sorry for adding Siege Rhinos, they do not fit the Nordic / Kalevala -theme I had in mi mind, but they are great with Undying Evil, Dying Wish and sac outlets that keep it bounching up and down, causing life loss and life gain :P )

EXAMPLE OF PLAY
Battleground:
Hand:
Your turn:
Cast Undying Evil on High Priest of Penance.
Kill him dead with
Midnight Guard
.
Destroy target non-land Permanent and return High Priest of Penance to Battleground with a +1/+1 Counter. Untap
Midnight Guard
.
Bronzebeak Moa
gets +3/+3.
Shoot High Priest of Penance again with
Midnight Guard
, and Destroy again target non-land Permanent. This time High Priest of Penance lives!
Play Siege Rhino and cast Undying Evil on it.
Bronzebeak Moa
gets +3/+3 (being now 8/8). Untap
Midnight Guard
. You receive 3 Life and enemy loses 3 Life.
Shoot something with
Midnight Guard
; the enemy him self, or just his creatures.
Sacrifice Siege Rhino to Nantuko Husk. Nantuko Husk gets a +2/+2 until the end of turn. Siege Rhino returns with a +1/+1 Counter.
Bronzebeak Moa
is now 11/11. Untap
Midnight Guard
. You receive 3 Life and enemy loses 3 Life.
Declare Combat and Attack with (11/11)
Bronzebeak Moa
and with (4/4) Nantuko Husk.
Depending on what the situation is, you can use
Midnight Guard
to shoot the enemy, a Creature he controls or simply Destroy yet another target non-land Permanent by killing High Priest of Penance. Also depending how the enemy blocks, you can Sacrifice literally all other creatures left (
Midnight Guard
, Siege Rhino, High Priest of Penance,
Bronzebeak Moa
) to Nantuko Husk to have her become big frikkin' monster.
Rotating Siege Rhino twice, Destroying up to three target non-land Permanents, boosting Nantuko Husk +
Bronzebeak Moa
and shooting enemy with
Midnight Guard
multiple times over a turn are so strong moves that if the enemy had any Damage at all, you most likely won the game this turn.
...and all this for six Mana!
THE BACKGROUND
I had an old Knight deck I have been building around
Darien, King of Kjeldor
and Soul Warden. Just a little while a go I realized
Midnight Guard
wielding Viridian Longbow would combo with Darien and Soul Warden like nuthin' else out there. Made me think how I could support them?
This deck is the testing ground on what would fit the deck best in Modern! For starters, I took core cards away from my Black Goat of the Wastes deck and decomissioned it.
WORD FROM THE ARTIST
Please note my decks are always based on cards I have and own. I do not create stunning first-turn kill decks using cards in the virtual database just to show off! Instead, I work with cards actually available to me.
