Bant is one of the least suspected colors to play reanimation type cards, but in the current standard I feel there is a strong set of cards that can catch people off guard! The deck can play anything from ramp spells, big creatures, creatures that gain us life, heavy hitters and cards that buff all your other creatures! The best part is, this can be done from either the graveyard or from regular play! A 6/6 hydra with tramp for 6 is ok, but a 6/6 hydra from the graveyard for 4 is great! 2/3 for 3 that gains 2 life is meh, a 4/4 that gains us 4 life and discard is much better! Ill break down the deck by each cards use so all can be understood.

• mill cards-

• • minister of inquiries- 1 mana creature that can mill up to 6 and chump block
• • strategic planning- pick a card and ditch the good stuff to the graveyard
• • champion of wits- draw 2 and ditch 2 to the graveyard, and can be replayed later for a 4/4
• • chart a course- same thing as champion of wits just not a creature
• • ipnu rivulet- a land that can later be used to mill so it always has value
• • sequesterd stash- same thing as ipnu rivulet

• reanimate cards-

• • honored hydra- a 6/6 for 4 mana, good value
• • sunscourge champion- a 4/4 for 4, gain 4 life and ditch a card to the graveyard which is good in this deck
• • adorned pouncer- a good early game chump blocker, a beast reanimated card

• utility cards-

• • resilient khenra- can pump early game or be a chump blocker, or a late game finisher when you reanimate it
• • aven wind guide- gives all your reanimate targets flying and haste, and they have to kill it 2 times to get rid of it
• • angel of sanctions- removal creature card, and when they kill it you can cast it again from the graveyard
• • shefet dunes- pump all your creatures for a hard hit
• • hashep oasis- pump one creature for a big hit

• removal-

• • aether meltdown- slows the opponent down early game and gives more mill fuel for minister
• • farm//market- removal and becomes a champion of wits without a body you can cast from your graveyard

• I love graveyard based decks, and I think this could be a fun one with lots of utility. I think the removal aspect needs the most attention but if anyone has any ideas on how to make the deck more consistent just leave a comment, or if you just wanna say you liked/didnt like the deck then I appreciate that too!
