Winter orb-esque combo in modern

Asked by magiceli 6 years ago

Does Hokori, Dust Drinker+Angel of Condemnation or a similar effect work? Can I exile hokori during my opponents end step, untap my lands during my turn and have him reenter in my endstep?

The logic seems sound to me. Exile Hokori, Dust Drinker after your opponent's end step has begun and the Angel of Condemnation shouldn't return him until your next end step. That lets you untap regularly and have Hokori ready to go before your opponent's next upkeep. That being said, seems fairly mana intensive for modern.

Because TheVectornaut's post seems rather uncertain - that's exactly how it works.

Not only does it seem mana-intensive, but it also doesn't counter all decks in the meta. Without knowing them all, having two mana (the land you untap and the land you can play) is a lot for a turn-4-format, and decks like affinity will be happy about you spending 4 mana just for a 3/3 flyer, and 3 mana in the turn after to achieve virtually nothing, while they're using their Springleaf Drums and Mox Opals for mana.
