I really like the new manifest mechanic, and decided to try and make a standard deck that could properly abuse it. This deck is also a work in progress.

The basic idea is a quick horde of critters via Monastery Mentor, or turn 3/4 Hooded Hydra s. I doubt this will be anything approaching a tournament caliber deck, but should be fun to play.

Did some solitare playtesting, and even holding up mana for negate/stubborn denial, this deck can get out of hand fairly quickly.

Critters:

Monastery Mentor abuses the large number of non-creature spells in the deck to crap tokens. Also prowess. Also the tokens have prowess.

Hooded Hydra GG for a 5/5 that craps out 5 snakes when it dies? Yup. Manifest are fun.

Master of Pearls That anthem effect sure is sweet at 1W

Courser of Kruphix We all know what he does.

Enchantments:

Cloudform 3 mana manifest that gives flight and hexproof.

Instants:

Force Away Bounce and sometimes draw

Valorous Stance Save a critter or kill a fatty, both are good

Reality Shift Removal....i guess. Bant doesn't have great removal in Standard.

Disdainful Stroke / Stubborn Denial Disdainful deals with most of the big threats (Seige Rhinos, Wingmates, Stormbreaths, etc) and Denial takes care of annoying things like Anger of the Gods

Sorceries:

Soul Summons Basic 2 mana manifest. Makes a dude, triggers prowess.

Write into Being Basically scry 2, but manifest one of them. Also prowess

Sideboard:

Shift away from the control style strategy to a more creature based attack,

Brimaz, King of Oreskos This guy is a house

Daxos of Meletis Card draw

Wildcall More manifest to fit anywhere on curve

Fleecemane Lion Good body, good monstrous

Peel from Reality Bounce

Ajani Steadfast Good pumps, -2 is a nice anthem for the horde of guys this deck generates
