I have been playing around with the idea of running a U/W delver deck since I already have the lands (currently playing W/u humans). And I was looking at AVC cards and thought that Mishollow Griffin could turn out to be really good. The first part of this is the fact that he is a 3/3 body with flying for 4 which is good. The second reason it is good is because with moorland haunt he gives you infinite number of time to activate it provided you can get the griffin into the graveyard and pay to cast him. Do any of you guys that have been playing the deck longer think this is a good 1-2 of or is he completely crap?
If I'm going to run any 4 drops in the deck they are going to be Restoration Angel.
What dose restoration angel get you? I don't see ETB effects in delver decks that I have looked at and if you blink delver it just goes back to being a 1/1. Unless you want it for the flash. I still think the reusable misthollow is a good thing. If it gets countered or you discard it for some reason or something you can still play it once you exile it with moorland. It is a bit expensive but by the time you would want it it would be a finisher. and mist hollow always comes down as a 3/3 flyer. he dosn't die to tragic slip if not flipped and he survives shock which delver can't. Plus if delver starts playing Favorable Winds Misthollow is coming down as a 4/4 on turn 4 so that is really good.
I would want it for the flash. Part of Delvers strength is not needing to tap out after turn 3. That may change after AVR is legal, but we don't know for sure.
OfI thinks its a sollid card but not a 4 of probably one for every griffin ...restoration could take hits from a delver griffin cant its preference if u run favorable winds run griffin if not angel
something i couldn't figure out from the oracle text. does the sideboard count as an exile zone?
No. Why would it? Misthollow seems terrible in Delver. It does give inevitability, but any reasonable deck is going to do something far superior to playing a 3/3 flier if I tap out for Griffin.
