Here is my current Standard rotation deck. I like playing in unconventional methods outside of the current metas, and this Bant monstrosity definitely fits that pretty well.

The basis of the deck is a lot of deck thinning leading to a few choice stompy creatures in order to swing some lethal damage. Meanwhile, there is enough control and removal available to keep the board state as much in your favor as possible.

When siding in, here are a couple of guidelines:

1. U/B Control - DROP OUT 2x Elvish Mystic, 2x Valorous Stance, 2x Reality Shift, 1x Polukranos, World Eater and BRING IN 1x Dissolve, 2x Negate, 2x Disdainful Stroke, and 2x Mistcutter Hydra.

2. Mono green devotion/Abzan - DROP OUT 1x Fleecemane Lion, 1x Stubborn Denial, 2x Reality Shift and BRING IN 1x Erase, 1x Dissolve, and 2x End Hostilities.

3. R/W or B/W Heroic, any weenie deck - DROP OUT 2x Valorous Stance, 2x Reality Shift, 1x Polukranos, World Eater and BRING IN 2x Negate, 1x Dissolve, and 2x Honor's Reward

4. RDW - DROP OUT 2x Valorous Stance, 2x Reality Shift and BRING IN 2x Honor's Reward and 2x Negate

5. Anything with Stormbreath - DROP OUT at least 2x Elvish Mystic for 2x Plummet, then side anything else accordingly

Beyond that, just side based on what you are seeing.

I hope everyone enjoys this deck. Check out Point Zero Games on YouTube for our deck tech video and more!
