Please no one build this and expect it to do anything other than confuse your opponent. Idea credit goes to SliperyMTGMVP.
Brief Primer:
This deck has 1 main combo and 1 main value Engine (there are slightly different variations though, so it's actually relatively flexible), so if you haven't already figured them out, here's the rundown:
Other Support Pieces:
The real value piece in this deck is
Collected Company
. This is an allstar card, because it digs six cards deep, and finds some of the main combo enablers in the deck as well as some protection pieces such as
Grand Abolisher
and
Selfless Spirit
. This deck also runs
Eternal Witness
to get back pieces from the graveyard.
Ramp:
The combo and value engine slot really nicely into a Bant ramp shell, so this deck runs a playset of
Noble Hierarch
as it is the best mana dork in the format and it's even better in this deck, because it can produce , , or which happen to be the colors of this deck. This deck also runs one copy of
Birds of Paradise
just to have a better chance of having a dork on turn one. And finally,
Lotus Cobra
is really nice in this deck because it's good ramp on its own while also being a combo piece.
Removal/Disruption:
This deck is relatively light on interaction just because a lot of slots need to be devoted to the combo and protecting it while also having a critical number of creatures so it's harder to whiff on
Collected Company
. That being said, what's a modern deck in white that's not playing a set of
Path to Exile
. It's a great efficient removal spell that can also help if we're manascrewed in a pinch. This deck also runs three copies of
Remand
as a really nice tempo play that buys time to put together the combo, and replaces itself to increase the likelihood of finding combo pieces.
Sideboard:
Leyline of Sanctity
is good against hand disruption and burn.
Leyline of the Void
and
Bojuka Bog
are great against Dredge, and just good against graveyard decks in general. Also
Bojuka Bog
can be tutored up by
Knight of the Reliquary
which makes it a really good option.
Damping Sphere
is good against both Tron and Storm.
Stony Silence
is good against artifact decks like Affinity,
Hardened Scales
, or any deck relying on
Walking Ballista
as a finisher.
Negate
can be a reasonable option against Control.
Mana Leak
is good if you want to have extra disruption, or just in playing against a deck that is trying to go off pretty early.

Anyway, upvote if you like it, and please give suggestions. I don't think the mana base is particularly good yet and I am still trying out which utility creatures work best, so ideas there would be appreciated too. This deck isn't supposed to be competitive or anything like that, but I had fun making it, so hope you enjoy.
