Deck Description

'Hold Them Back' is all about keeping your opponent from hurting you for as long as you can. Powerful spells such as Martial Law will slow down the opponent, giving you enough time to plan your next move. Summon a ring of oblivion around a foe's creature, to send that monster to oblivion. If your opponent is still able to keep some bad-guys on the battle ground send your Fiend Hunters to round up what is left. Cloudshift, is your ace-in-hole, cast this spell when the chips are down. Once your foe has used up all is forces, call upon Geist-Honored Monk and Seller of Songbirds to give you a 2nd wind. Then finish the battle quickly.

Deck discussion for Hold Them Back!

This deck seems cool, but 28 land is WAAY too much when your highest costing spell is 5 mana. Perhaps you could try the Venser, the Sojourner+Stonehorn Dignitary soft lock.

I want to keep it standard. However, those cards are great for a non-standard deck I'm making. It's just for fun. I saw that one deck you posted up with the endless squirrels and it made me want to make a deck that did kind of the same thing.

Blade Splicer and Inquisitor Exarch are already not Standard, just thought I'd let you know :P Lyev Skyknight is a cool aggresive creature with a pretty nice enter the battlefield ability, and Ghostly Flicker could be in here as an additional Cloudshift effect. Glad you like my squirrel deck :)

they are? I didn't know. I can change that and will. I'll put in Seller of Songbirds and Hover Barrier. Let me update it. Thanks for the help.
