When the original Hunted cycle was new, I built a casual deck on MTGO with [[Hunted Troll]], [[Hunted Phantasm]], and [[Night of Souls’ Betrayal]] to kill all their tokens. Sure, you shrunk your own Hunted creatures, but they were still the biggest things on the board and a pretty fast clock. One of my favorite parts was that I had [[Floating-Dream Zubera]]s as a speed bump. There were other two-drops you could have fit in that slot, but the Zuberas survived NoSB and with careful maneuvering you could arrange for two of them to die at once.
It wasn’t competitive, but it was a blast to play. I still have a paper version of it for kitchen table games.
I wonder if it’s time to upgrade. By replacing Hunted Phantasm with Hunted Bonebrute you could cut the deck down to two colors while speeding up your clock at the same time. Frankly, I’m sorry this thing has Disguise; that’s really a distraction from what I’d want to do with it.
I hope this is part of a cycle and that the other cards in it are even more interesting. Magic is at its best when you’re overcoming drawbacks with clever synergies, instead of just playing cards that are overpowered as printed.
I was just learning to play when the OG hunter’s came out and tried something very similar!
