Bant Proliferate. Yer. My concerns on problem areas are sideboard, mana base, and did I make the list too diverse and not focused enough on the actual proliferate plan? I felt like putting the 2 Negate MB would be fine since it would help me battle boardwipes game 1 since control is so big right now, and I feel like that's where this deck will easily be torn apart. It can also hit cards like History of Benalia , Nexus of Fate , Chandra, Fire Artisan and Light Up the Stage , etc.

Ramp/mana fixing:

• Llanowar Elves
• Incubation Druid
• Jiang

Draw/card advantage:

• Hydroid Krasis
• Jadelight Ranger
• Merfolk Branchwalker
• Vivien Reid
• Zegana

Proliferate:

• Evolution Sage
• Ajani

Lifegain:

• Wildgrowth Walker
• Ajani
• Hydroid Krasis

Sideboard choices:

• Ajani, the Greathearted His -2 is actually better than proliferate since it adds counters to creatures that don't already have them. He also gives passive vigilance, and can gain life.
• Carnage Tyrant is just a really good creature. It's hard for control to answer a lot of the time, and it can't get burned out against mono-red so it will always be a strong blocker/threat.
• Crushing Canopy cleanly answers some of the strongest cards out there, such as Wilderness Reclamation , Search for Azcanta  , Thief of Sanity , and Niv-Mizzet, Parun .
• Disdainful Stroke stops the higher end PW's like Liliana, Tamiyo, and big daddy Teferi. Also hits the critical components of Nexus of Fate and boardwipes like Kaya's Wrath .
• Hadana's Climb   gives you the ability to improve your clock and can fly over a clogged battlefield. It's pretty much going to flip the turn you play it, and with the amount of mana this deck can generate it won't be rare to play and activate it in the same turn.
• Knight of Autumn is generally a strong card. It can answer permanents, net you life, or become a big blocker. Colors are also easy to play.
• Negate stops fog effects, 3cmc PW, discard, other counter spells, etc. Just a strong choice.
• Shalai, Voice of Plenty is a strong flier. Making my board and I hexproof is also very strong. Also potentially adds those counters.
• Unbreakable Formation gives you the ability to try and combat all the sweepers, be more flexible with combat, and has the potential to pump your creatures. Indestructible, vigilance, and still tapping for mana.
