Welcome to V1 of my Bant Swamp deck.

If you've seen my Anti Tribal-Tribal Tribal deck, you know I like messing with card text. This time, I wanted to do color changing. There are a few color-changing decks already though, mostly centered around Blind Seer, and while we certainly do have that here, I wanted to focus mainly on giving opponents forests, and then winning with forestwalk creatures.

This is a new deck, and isn't as streamlined as my other one. With time, we'll get there. I could definitely use some help, and you'll see some cards I'm considering in the maybeboard. It currently lacks removal. A lot of it.

This is the combo that started the deck!

Open to suggestions! Don't like having s/tax effects in this deck. Note that while I do change land types, the goal is not to lock people out of their mana, which is why I won't play cards like Quicksilver Fountain.

Note: I've been split between Rafiq of the Many and Treva, the Renewer as commanders. I chose Rafiq for now since I like surprising my opponents.

Thanks for reading and feel free to ask any questions or give any feedback. Open to suggestions!
