I was doing some digging into Scryfall and found Veilstone Amulet. Do you think this card would help mitigate single target removal?

Crow_Umbra on Hinata, the Morning Star [Spellslinger Primer]

Very nice deck and primer! I have a Hinata deck that I've piloted a couple times, and let a friend borrow this past weekend. Hinata is super resilient. A few cards I'd recommend that I'm currently running in my list:

• Command Beacon - Helpful utility land to get Hinata back out if hated out multiple times.

• Apostle's Blessing - Essentially a free spot protection spell with Hinata out.

• Eerie Interlude - If you have at least one other creature out in addition to Hinata, it turns into a board protection for 1 lol.

• Veilstone Amulet - Protection redundancy, but adds a protective wrinkle to any of your instant speed spells.

• Magnus the Red - Redundant cost reduction in case Hinata gets taken off the field.

• Willbreaker - Gain control of any creature you target, if it isn't destroyed.

I use Favorable Destiny in mine, since the aura fetched by paws goes through shroud, you can cast an aura in another creature and fetch one into paws even with shroud, also, see Veilstone Amulet for extra fun

Hello,

Let's begin with evasion - because answers run out and might not even be there.

My favorite way to make Volrath unblockable is discarding Filth with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth in play. I also love Rime Transfusion and having Snow Covered Swamps. Manifold Key does double duty by also untapping big mana rocks or other toys like Quicksilver Amulet. Dragon Shadow is a decent option, and helps most of the other big creatures. Whispersilk Cloak is obvious, as is Rogue's Passage.

Some less obvious plays are using instant speed board wipes via Vedalken Orrery to clear the field right before your turn so nothing is left to block - or similar instant speed board wipe effects like cycling a Decree of Pain. Things like Pestilence/Pestilence Demon can clear the field with little threat to a pumped up Volrath. You could include a Breaker of Armies, which would absorb all of your opponents blocking creatures or also be discarded to Volrath for 8.

Ok, then you have protection. Normal stuff like Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves. Volrath gains a lot of protection and evasion from the swords of X and Y. Light and Shadow is a must play. Feast and Famine is a very high recommend followed by Fire and Ice. Imp's Mischief is invaluable in redirecting removal or countering a counterspell. You can run Not of This World for a good counter. Veilstone Amulet is a good option for protection as well.

Really you want some protection but if you focus more on ramping, haste, evasion, and other ways to continue putting pressure and threats out then the odds are that you will find a way through. Command Beacon and Netherborn Altar can help Volrath be cheaper, or even cheated into play. Have some reanimation effects, preferably those you can use repeatedly like Strands of Night and Sheoldred, Whispering One. Artisan of Kozilek is amazing when you can hit 9 and bring another major threat out. If they "deal" with Volrath it just means they have less answers for Phage the Untouchable or Blightsteel Colossus, or the next time Volrath lands and swings.

hey bro. what are your thoughts on this Veilstone Amulet?? according to another forum it gives the creature you cast hexproof... that would be a consistent way to protect our beatters... and since the beatter is on stack they can't respond (other than counter i mean).

No more Veilstone Amulet? You're breaking my heart here, Bockett.

You've probably already come across this card, but it popped up on facebook and I immediately thought of this deck.

Veilstone Amulet - not sure how heavy targeted removal is in your meta, but seems to have potential. Especially since it was never errated to give hexproof so it will get around Detection Tower and similar effects.
