faithbound silence this is a deck im theorycrafting about, is a control deck with Faithbound Judge Flip as one of is win cons.
Im going for a strategy where you try to stall the opponent out. there is a better description of it on my deck page.
I know Faithbound Judge Flip is a really slow card and is not a card you would play in format like modern, I'm not going to buy this deck I'm just doing this for fun to see how far I can push it, pls help me improve it.

Its such a shame that Curse of Misfortunes can't see the back side of that card.
II'd look at the dice factory archetype (Everflowing Chalice+Coretapper backed by a bunch of counters matter stuff) as the best chance of paying 7 mana and proliferating in modern, backed by some x cost control.
Its never been competitive, but I think its your best bet for 'pay 7 mana quick, then delay for 3 turns'.
Lock pieces to avoid dying might break any budget though.
Secondary option is defender tribal tools - combo lines with their incredible ramp makes it unlikely this'll be the wincon that goes off, but you could do it.
I gave a little thought to animating sinner's to get counters onto it via ozolith, but can't think of anything that'll stick reliably - Starfield of Nyx isn't enough on its own.
Dennick + Secrets of the Dead might make for a nice U/W 'graveyard spells' control list with Think Twice and whatnot, but once again, stalling to 7 mana is hard.

I think the big issue you’re going to face trying to build a deck around Faithbound Judge Flip, is that it’s not at all a build-around card:
Whatever deck you build, the card will be incapable of synergising with any of the other cards in your deck, because there’s nothing it can do to “help” other cards, and there’s very little other cards can do to “help” it.
As a standalone “win-con” piece, it’s not only extremely slow, but then also gives you opponent multiple turns to either answer it, or win the game themselves. Regardless of what colours you end up in for the deck, there’s guaranteed to be a more efficient card that reads “i win the game”.
From the above 2 points, unfortunately I don’t think there’s a way to include this card into a deck where it doesn’t actively become a burden.
