CREATION OF THE DECK
This deck was originally going to be an Orzahv creature hate deck, until I realized useless it was against creature light decks. My solution was simple, I'd just give them creatures. Then I realized that Hunted Horror made pro black tokens, which would be hard to deal with. So I splashed blue for some bounce. then I remembered suture priest. Then i splashed green, for Hunted Troll and for Abrupt Decay. now its back to orzhov. who knows where it goes next.



THE FAMILY
The family is a crazy and lovable group of individuals. The family consists of 6 members. the ever lovable soul sisters Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant; their older brother Blood Seeker ; their father the Suture Priest and their mother Essence Warden; and finally their cousin Blood Artist who comes in for family reunions.



THE HUNTED
I'd like to think of the family as a very caring (albeit scary) family. the kind that is willing to take in stray pets, or help the needy, or shelter hunted monsters like Hunted Phantasm and even a Hunted Horror if they really wanted to get crazy.These guys have the "Drawback" of putting creatures onto my opponents battlefield. which means that every member of the family gets a proc to do something.




UTILITY
Some creatures follow the Path to Exile. a lonely journey for those who have forsaken the family's values.
Spare the rod and you spoil the child. Of course rods are a little old fashioned and out of style. Staffs are all the rage. Thunderstaff is here for keeping 1/Xs of all kinds in line.

Suture Priest tries to stay up to date on home repairs. But sometimes theres Abrupt Decay and it just blindsides everyone.

Ghostly Prison is a fantastic card and i'm out of analogies on this one.
Everyone knows that time of year when everyone seems to be getting sick. thankfully the family has good healthcare and doesn't have to worry too much about an Illness in the Ranks.


NOTABLE COMBOS / SYNERGY
Hunted Phantasm/Forbidden Orchard + any family member
Ghostly Prison/Thunderstaff + Hunted Phantasm
Ghostly Prison/Thunderstaff + a token deck (this is just sort of sad in a funny kind of way. try to end it quick if you can.)
NOTE: You can also combine any of the above to make things really fun.

NOTE: Basically any two cards together in this deck is pretty synergistic.




SIDEBOARD
Swan Song/ Countersquall are for some of the more controlling matchups. the song is great, but countersquall hits artifacts as well which is a pretty important thing that song can't hit. im torn on what the split should be if at all.
Stony Silence is for the affinity and tron match ups. affinity can work with infect and tron drops some planeswalker stuff that i can't deal with. id prefer to just cut them off early.
Spellskite: you'd be surprised how many enemies the family has made over the course of a few games. Spellskite is there to make sure every one survives to see the reunion.





MAYBE BOARD

Genesis Chamber : this card is interesting but the deck feels flooded with 2 drops. and honestly i feel like theres an analogy here, but i can't think of it. please help.
Blood Artist and Bloodseeker have decided to start a band with some new music. its sort of like new wave music, but thats pretty old, so the changed the name to Displacement Wave . (its really bad and makes all of the tokens leave, but Suture Priest believes in supporting his families hobbies)
you know how sometimes the family fights about what to eat for dinner? well Suture Priest sometimes comes out with a Supreme Verdict on what they will be eating. (which usually is what no one wanted so they all leave)
when the kids are bad they have to go sit in their Detention Sphere and think about what they've done.
Anguished Unmaking has the same potential as Detention Sphere but i don't know what analogy to make here.
sometimes the sink has a Mana Leak that just causes everything to go wrong unless someone pays the plumber to fix it (Suture Priest is super stingy so don't expect them to pay for it.)
the sisters aren't the best drivers. due to this reason the family loving nicknamed their car the Whiplash Trap .
Mercy Killing : sometimes the family sees a poor hulking beast that has grown too big for its own good. so without further ado let us put down Tasigur, the Golden Fang, seige rhino , Gurmag Angler and a big Tarmogoyf and let them finally know peace.





I want to get as much criticism as possible to make it competitive if possible. please give me any and all feedback you can. play-tests are appreciated. and if you have card suggestions, please feel free to mention what you think should come out.
