Ok I saw the bant tokens build up there, but it just so happened I had finished building a bant list myself, it is a bit different however :

1x Oviya Pashiri, sage lifecrafter (yeah ok, not terrbile)
2x Oath of Nissa (digs for all relevant spells in the deck besides dec and harvester, also allows us to play one land less)

1x Walking Ballista ( Mediocre card in the deck but playable on higher cmc costs, can combo kill however)
2x Sylvan Advocate( generic good stuff dude)
2x Declaration in Stone(catch all creatures/tokens)
2x Anointer Priest (Soul warden, good blocker, infinite lifegain in combo)

1x Nissa, Steward of the Elements (Card selection and potential win con, flex slot)
1xNissa, Voice of Zendikar (token generator and anthem)
2x Rogue refiner (good bridge card, helps aether hub, draws entire deck with displacer combo)
2x Tireless Tracker (best bridge creature in the game)
2xEldrazi Displacer(3/3 for 3; can flicker many dudes in the deck for value, makes infinite combo, tutorable)
1x Reclamation Sage (artifact defense, fetched by bellower)
1x Aethersphere Harvester(flier and aggro defense)

2x Anointed Procession (worst card in the deck, until you start going off with the bigger token spells)
2x Cast out (Catch-all removal)
2x From Beyond ( tutors drazi, token engine, ramp)
1x Gideon, ally of zendikar (token generator, anthem, one of the best cards in duels?)
1x Tamiyo, Field Researcher (card draw and tempo engine, Flex slot?)

1x Archangel Avacyn (still maybe the best creature in duels)
1x Angel of invention (token generator, anthem)
2x Regal Caracal (7 power over 3 bodies lifelink)

1x Woodland Bellower (good creature, powerful fetch options)
1x Drowner of Hope (good creature, tutorable, infinite combo)

1x Decimator of the provinces (Craterhoof pig, tutorable)

3 hubs and an abbey
assorted other lands

The idea here is simple: You play a fair game of magic with some pretty good dudes.
Deck is packed with card advantage, and you will eventually have access to an oops I win : Anointed procession + Eldrazi Displacer + Drowner of Hope = infinite taps/creatures/mana
That's pretty nifty, 2 of the 3 pieces being tutorable. Now combine this board with either a walking ballista to kill the opponent from arbitrarily high lifetotals, or Anointer Priest to give yourself infinite life :evil:. Hard to do ? Not really since Displacer with Rogue refiner draws the entire deck once you have above combo in play.

Wouldn't mind ideas about refining the deck :)

How do you feel about Eyeless Watcher Rabble? More chances for the combo and we're able to ramp into 7 mana on T5.

I've learnt that apparently CGB noticed the combo as playable during his release party. I've since watched that content and I can just commend him for building it on the fly, his experience really shows off there.

To me My first reaction to the combo is ambivalent;

_ Do I think this is competitive ?

Why yes , thanks for asking, I believe it is; the list up here is just a stock midranger that 'has' the combo. I won multiple games on ladder with this deck just by jamming amazing cards, and I would suggest tha tif you wan to win on ladder, you just cut the bad combo and build from there, so that you can jam even morer betterer cards. Bant random good stuff got an immense boost thanks to cast out, and playing these colors feels great.

_ Can I play this deck on Steam Ladder?

How many people aren't in their truest hear of hearts, ****? No, showing ballista at 0 to shortcut will probably still result in you needing to show the lenght of your deck, I do believe part of the combo should net you sufficent advantage to just win the game in many situations though. The deck is playable but yeah, as long as people can choose not to concede whilst you are on a timer, this combo is VERY time intensive. procession into one of the 5 drops will lock a certain amount of games though.


_ Kryder ? What up mate ?

I'l be sure to ask him. He loves headaches.

Preferred Pronoun Set: SleepHmper on XBL add me
-1x Decimator of the provinces

+1x Ajani Unyielding

I think Ajani is the better card most of the time, he takes over games and can dig you out of a hole. I have found manbearpig as a bit win more and doesn't help when behind.
I also like blossoming defense in these lists to protect the combo.

I'll try and build it and have some fun. :thumbsup:
