Cards like Phyrexian Dreadnought

Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 18, 2017, 7:17 p.m. by Pinewoodboy0324

I saw Phyrexian Dreadnought and was wondering if you guys knew any cards like this, but way cheaper, with etb effects that are extremely restricting, but are huge creatures.

Here is the Deck currently: 7/11 artifacts

Thanks and Happy Hunting

You could think of cards like:

• Death's Shadow
• Desecration Elemental
• Eater of Days
• Nyxathid
• Hunted Troll
• Hunted Horror

Is this what you were looking for?

Like Eater of Days, Leveler, and Hunted Horror? And to a lesser extent Hunted Wumpus and Hunted Troll?

i was thinking i could use Torpor Orb to cancel all etb effects, usually the ones that cripple these cards.

Fun fact:

Cast Dubious Challenge. Select Eater of Days or Phage the Untouchable or something along those lines. Select Hushwing Gryff as your second creature. Laugh in your opponent's face.

Cosmic Larva works with Eon Hub, but it can't be blocked with Torpor Orb.

Also, the Hunted cycle in full is Hunted Dragon, Hunted Lammasu, Hunted Troll, Hunted Horror, and Hunted Phantasm.

I've made a deck based on that idea some time ago. Feel free to check:

The idea is to use cards like: Trickbind, Sundial of the Infinite, Torpor Orb, Disallow, Voidslime and Hushwing Gryff to counter the EtB triggers and cast your massive creatures. There is also the option to use Fling and Rite of Consumption for cards that have upkeep triggers.

This type of strategy evolved from the legacy Phyrexian Dreadnought+Stifle, also known as stiflenought.

Currently this is the list of cheap big creatures with big drawbacks for modern:

Vexing Devil, Boldwyr Heavyweights, Cosmic Larva, Desecration Demon, Desecration Elemental, Dust Elemental, Eater of Days, Leveler, Hunted Phantasm, Hunted Horror, Hunted Troll, Hunted Wumpus, Hunted Dragon, Hunted Lammasu, Inverter of Truth, Nova Chaser, Phyrexian Soulgorger, Primeval Force, Sky Swallower.

Make sure to check out the deck in the description, I might go back to make it less colors later

For anyone who plays modern, do you see these kinds of decks?

Thanks and Happy Hunting!
