So helm of the host is probably one of my favorite cards in the new set. Just the crazyness it allows is amazing. I don't actually have a decklist yet, just an idea that I'm hoping to get some feedback/card choices on. What the goal of the deck would be, is to resolve a gideon, helm of the host, and keep equipping it getting an additional gideon every turn. Use your new free gideon to fog something every turn, and then eventually just drown them in fogging gideons. Once you have enough gideons to effectively fog everything, then start going for damage. Or be be an evil person and mill them out with an emblem and an army of fogging gideons. Since this requires 12 mana of do nothing, I was thinking of doing it in a bant/4 color control list. Ramp, counter magic/draw, and removal/sweepers. And ofc Mastermind's Acquisition to find your final combo piece Maybe even just abzan and no blue, or a very light blue splash to for a pair of searchs, and incase Urzas ruinious blast is a thing.
Thoughts? Think a deck like this could work at an fnm/showdown type of level? Are there any cards to help search out helm of the host, or make it easier to equip?
1. Either the helm makes copies of indestructible Gideon creatures only (which is fine, but maybe not worth the hoops since you can just use crested sunmare)
2. or you get dudes that revert to walkers eot with zero counters and die
3. Or you just get a walker with zero counters that never has a chance to turn into a creature and dies.
Not sure the helm works with Gideon because of other rules unless I'm missing something. That being said, I'm not sure which of the above scenarios is how the rules would play out.
