Bant Tempo in Modern
Modern Deck Help forum
Posted on Aug. 7, 2017, 11:49 p.m. by hjaycee
I want to first thank everyone in the Tappedout community for enhancing my Izzet Counterburn from a budget deck into two mindblown decks. I greatly appreciate the time you guys spend out of your day to help young deckbuilders - such as myself and others - in improving our decks.
Furthermore, I am in some help once again about an idea of deck for competitive modern. I want to concoct a Bant tempo deck, full of efficient creatures and taking control over the board with powerful Planeswalkers, while generating decent card advantage amongst my spells and creatures. If anyone has the time to give me some idea, please let me now in the thread. Thank you for your time, you guys.

Flickerwisp, Blade Splicer, Thragtusk, Birds of Paradise or Noble Hierarch, and then Collected Company work very well in those types of decks that just want to create tons of value.

Thank you guys for commenting on the thread. I truly appreciated. Oloro_Magic, I am liking the suggestions so far. I might incorporate some kind of flicker subtheme, but I won't go too heavy on the concept. Wurmlover, I love the name by the way. So Tamiyo, Field Researcher wouldn't be valuable? That is the card I was attempting to build around.

Tamiyo, Field Researcher can be incredibly powerful especially if you can emblem it and play some extra turn spells whilst also having Narset Transcendent out. I think with her you either go prison or CoCo to protect her and start dropping big things and turn spells for free every turn.

Oloro_Magic - I think we are getting somewhere with that Coco shell. Throw some Birds of Paradise, Noble Hierarchs, Kitchen Finks etc. I might be able make this deck come to fruition. Oh, by the way, what other removals should I run other than Path to Exile?

You only really need Path to Exile in that deck and maybe a couple counters (preferably Cryptic Command) and the Dusk / Dawn in the side.

well first off, with the way modern is right now, there aren't any real planes walkers in bant colors that fit tempo, or are even good in modern. if you want to play tempo, creatures like Kitchen Finks will be your best friend. Counter spells like Remand would help. There's some good removal in white too, in the form of Path to Exile. The way its shaping up, you might want to just play any goodstuff.
