Deck Description

I'm a fan of etb cards, and wanted to make a deck around abusing flicker with strong etbs. I thought evolve would be good to combine with flicker since creatures are entering repeatedly.

How to Play

I feel like most of the play style is fairly straightforward: play creatures, flicker ones with good etb effects or to save them in combat or to get evolve triggers.

One of the less obvious mechanics is stacking evolve triggers. If you have a Cloudfin Raptor out and cast Experiment One, then flicker it on the stack of the evolve trigger, evolve will trigger twice. This can be abused even more effectively by flickering Thragtusk as the beast will come in on the same stack.

Another less obvious one is Fiend Hunter. If you flicker or return to hand Fiend Hunter on the stack of his etb ability, it causes his exit the battlefield ability to fizzle and permanently exiles the target.
