Goodbye Azorius, Hello Bant! —Feb. 22, 2022

As the title says im turning this deck into a bant deck.

Glorious Protector would be an interesting card in this deck! Ninth Bridge Patrol could also be funky, though perhaps too slow.

Some thoughts:

  • Glorious Protector and Deafening Silence are sudeboard cards at best. I’d suggest ditching them from mainboard.

  • i’m not sure you’re running enough lands here. If you don’t start with a card draw-engine with Wall of Omens and Ephemerate, I can see you being stuck on 2 lands too often. I’d suggest going up to 22-23 lands

  • I’m not convinced you need Flickerwisp or Venser, the Sojourner. They just don’t seem great here & you akready have plenty-enough good ways to flicker for value. I’d suggest replacing them with more good flicker-targets, some suggestions below.

  • I can highly recommend Watcher for Tomorrow. It helps dig for the exact card you need in any given matchup, which can get you out of some sticky situations.

  • Stonehorn Dignitary and Venser, Shaper Savant are both cheap, and can both be powerhouses in these kinds of decks. Including 1-2 of each mainboard would improve your deck considerably.

  • It may be a little beyond your budget, but adding 1-3 Skyclave Apparition would work well here also.

Just to show you, this deck also. It’s obviously going to be out of the price-range for the moment, but if you’re able to include green in your landbase, you get access to a ton of powerful (& cheap) cards that love being flickered. It’s possibly a direction to work towards as more of a long-term goal.

Thank you for the recommendations and I will probably throw Deafening Silence in the sideboard, but im going to be keeping Venser, the Sojourner mainly because it allows me to get Soulherder through. I will add more lands but yeah thank you.

Neat! Just to let you know, with three Fiend Hunters, or two Felidar Guardians, you can infinitely make them exile one another, which would let you pump your Soul Herder as much as you want.

If you stick a couple of Access Tunnels, you could make sure your Soul Herders hit home more often, perhaps.

Ninth Bridge Patrol is also somewhat an even-more-budget Soulherder!
