My take on a standard bant deck with a focus on card draw and life gain. the aim of this deck is that for the first 4 turns you'll be setting up ramp, life gain or card draw for mistuctter-hydra or Sphinx's Revelation drop.

The draw

T1 Dakra Mystic the draw is good with the added distribution makes it great.

T2 no drop this turn, considering Sigiled Starfish but i don't think the added creature is worth it.

T3 Thassa, God of the Sea the draw fixing is very helpful.

T4 Horizon Chimera makes each draw worth it

The life

T1 Soldier of the Pantheon starts off the "do anything and i'll gain life'' theme

T2 Nyx-Fleece Ram consistent life gain on a solid body

T3 Courser of Kruphix helps to hit those land drops with a helpful bonus.

T4 Horizon Chimera flying and trample is a fun combination.The ramp

T1 no Elvish Mystic but Mana Confluence deserve a mention here for helping so much colour wise.

T2 Golden Hind eventually i'll get some Sylvan Caryatid

T3 Courser of Kruphix fits in here too

Once we get to T5 (or 5 mana) the power of the deck shows; playing Prophet of Kruphix or Kruphix, God of Horizons into Dictate of Karametra for a massive Mistcutter Hydra or Sphinx's Revelation respectively is incredible, alternatively playing Horizon Chimera+Archangel of Thune+Sphinx's Revelation results with a huge beefing up of all your creatures.

Looking for as much feedback as possible. Mainly looking for peoples thoughts on what are the stronger aspects of the deck, what to focus on more so i can cutback on the number of different creatures.
