peacekeeper
i've been wanting to build a deck with this and other hate bears but I can't quite seem to come up with the proper combination. Peacekeeper seems really strong in the meta right now tho even as a stand alone card.
He stops most builds of elves, sneak and show, merfolk, dredge, and mud. Many of the other top tier decks only have a 4 of as outs which should mean that it should be easy to protect somehow. Rug has bolt, some run forked bolt as well, shard less has abrupt decay, D&T has swords, but many of those don't have multiple outs. If it can be protected then it will usually win those games as their primary strategy is attacking.
Is this just a forgotten creature?
Maybe he doesn't play as good as he reads?
Thoughts?

There was a recent list at a SCG event for a stax/prison style deck that ran 2 or 3 peacekeeper.

I think FarmVille (bant lands) ran it sideboard with wish mainboard

'Dies to removal' has not been more relevant when there's a 4-mana Enchantment that does something very similar. There's around £100 difference in price, too, so there's that.
Humility outclasses Moat in nearly every situation in Legacy (the only real exception is against Empty the Warrens). Arguable where Peacekeeper fits in, but it suffers from being a creature.
elves. goblins. merfolk. maverick. empty. I think I'd rather have Moat. If you are at a precarious life total you might want Moat.
Peacekeeper makes Terminus bad, and it's difficult to imagine a deck that wants 'Creatures can't attack' and doesn't care for Terminus. Non-Blue control seems... Sketchy.
Death and Taxes--nonblue control.
The Mighty Quinn--has seen play, is a control deck.
Parfait--not very common, but is also a nonblue control deck in legacy.
I can imagine a mono white control-ish list (as versus a death and taxes prison style list) becoming viable if the metagame keeps getting pushed by true-name nemesis.
Apple might be able to dig up the thread going about hatebear strategy where Peacekeeper was brought up.
I used to run four Peacekeeper main in a UWr deck running Meddling Mage, Moms, etc. I'd win with Jace's ultimate or go beatdown with Magus of the Moon and reach with bolt. I might be able to locate the list.
Super fun. Nothing like seeing a goblin player's face G1 when you drop Peacekeeper. Peacekeeper's great. It's price might go back up to where it was around a couple of years ago.
I could see decay being a problem for it though it didn't exists at the time I was running it.
As the format becomes more creature beatdown dominant, I expect Peacekeeper's viability to rise in some control lists.
The trick is pairing it with a decent, non-combat, win con.

Abrupt Decay is enough to keep it from being a really solid MD strategy IMO, it kind of has the same problem as Counterbalance in that respect. Really solid SB card tho', i love me some elf tears.
I use to run Peacekeeper when NO Bant was big I ran three in the sideboard against merfolk, goblins and elves. It was really good till I landed Prog and then just wouldn't pay its upkeep cost. I really miss that rock paper scissors format.
