This deck takes the typical Feldon reanimate strategy and transforms it into a dangerous hostage-taker variant. It takes control of your opponents field and re-purposes them as your own beat stick.

Mono red has some of the best cards to take control of your opponents creatures/permanents. With creatures like Zealous Conscripts and Molten Primordial it is easy to use Feldon of the Third Path to reoccur their effects. However, the thing at makes Feldon ideal for this kind of deck is the potential he has with reoccurring instant and sorcery's. Biblioplex Assistant, Revolutionist, and Ardent Elementalist are great for returning powerful one-shot instants and sorcery's, like Insurrection and Mana Geyser, or draw spells, like Cathartic Pyre and Reforge the Soul, to make you a constant threat in the game.

The dream is to keep them with Sundial of the Infinite, but if that is not an option just remove it from the field with a sacrifice outlet at the end of the turn. Phyrexian Altar, Greater Gargadon, and City of Shadows are few of the many that work well with the deck.

My more traditional Feldon deck Glass Statues (Feldon EDH) really wasn't for my type of play style but I really do enjoy playing with this one. If you are looking for some fun and interesting board interactions this deck could very well be what you are looking for. If you have any suggestions on what I should include please let me know and comment them!
