Commander (1)

---

Bant control, built around low CMC creatures and instant speed spells. Designed with the idea of keeping 2-4 mana up for a counterspell/instant at all times after turn 4-5.Designed to get prophet of kruphix in play turn 5-8, this deck can establish a lock either aggressively around turn 5-7 or safely with counterspell back up a few turns later. Deck is unreliant on the commander but makes use of Roon's flexibility to protect creatures/reuse ETB and influence combat.

Win conditions:

Deadeye Navigator+Venser, Shaper Savant+Prophet of Kruphix. Spell lock, bounce opponents permanents including lands.

Deadeye Navigator+Mystic Snake/Draining Whelk+Prophet of Kruphix. Spell Lock.

Deadeye Navigator/Roon of the Hidden Realm+Avenger of Zendikar. Token Swarm.

Roon+Eternal Witness/Archaeomancer + Cyclonic Rift. Repeated Cyclonic Rifts. Attack into empty boards.

Kozilek the Butcher of Truth, by itself enough to win games.

Avenger of Zendikar, by itself enough to win games.

Tricks tips:

Wargate X is often zero or one for land or top.

Green Sun's Zenith X is almost always 5 for prophet of kruphix. Seedborn muse is secondary target.

Eladamri's Call usually either gets Prophet of kruphix/Consecrated Sphinx or eternal witness depending on the pressure level of the game. Get Prophet of Kruphix if you are being pressured, get Consecrated Sphinx if you need card draw, get Eternal Witness if there is no pressure and you can then recast Eladamri's Call for Prophet of Kruphix and also use Roon to flicker eternal witness for more tutors. Also fetches Deadeye Navigator+X for a win.

Seedborn Muse/Terferi Mage of Zhalfir is essentially a back up Prophet of Kruphix effect.

Birthing Pod often is used on Roon or Acidic Slime to get Deadeye or Consecrated Sphinx.

Chopping Block:

The Phyrexian Metamorph. Replacement needs to be CMC 3 or less. Considering replacing with congregation at dawn, fauna shaman, mother of runes, dissolve, krosan grip, or bant charm.

Bribery.Considering replacing with Treachery, Hallowed Burial or Wrath of God.
