Much Abrew: Forbidden Hunted Path (Modern)

by SaffronOlive // Sep 17, 2018

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. Last week during our Instant Deck Techs, our Fishbowl Thursday deck Forbidden Hunted Path came out on top. While we don't always play Fishbowl Thursday decks on Much Abrew, it just so happens that today marks the beginning of Panharmonicon week, and since Forbidden Hunted Path uses Panharmonicon as one of its primary combo pieces we're going to give it a shot, even though it looks a bit janky on paper!

The basic idea of the deck is to build a Modern version of the Dagger Burn deck we played a while ago in Standard and kill our opponents by giving them tokens (with the help of Hunted Phantasm and Hunted Troll) with a Trespasser's Curse on the battlefield, with a backup plan of killing all those tokens with Illness in the Ranks, hopefully with Blood Artist on the battlefield. So, where does Panharmonicon come in? It doubles all of our triggers, of course. If we can get down a Trespasser's Curse and a Panharmonicon, a single copy of Hunted Phantasm will let us drain our opponent for 20 damage, with the five tokens Hunted Phantasm makes doubling up to 10 and the 10 triggers from Trespasser's Curse doubling up to 20! Is there any chance this crazy deck will work? Let's get to the video and find out; then, we'll talk more about the deck!

Discussion

So, should you play Forbidden Hunted Path? The answer is pretty clearly no, if you want to win. On the other hand, if you already have most of the expensive cards, it is a fun deck to throw together because the games that you do win are really fun and unique!
