Bant Control. We got some early game protection in Nyx-Fleece Ram, Sylvan Caryatid, and Courser of Kruphix. The main win cons are Kiora, the Crashing Wave, Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, and Dragonlord Dromoka. Use the 6 counterspells and hefty card draw to keep you one step ahead of your opponent.Both AEtherspouts and End Hostilities are great against this token/weenie heavy meta.The sideboard is just more control, with color hate if you are against a certain matchup. Reprisal and Neutralizing Blast are underrated cards, and I am fond of getting rid of Siege Rhino for two mana!I am open to suggestions or feedback! Leave a comment so I can continue to improve this deck. -Ejphilla1
