Bant control deck bent on making your opponent suffer under your card advantage.
continuously bounce the Mystics and force your opponent to sit there and watch the world burn
I'm sorry if this seems mean, but it really does work

The Plays
The idea behind the deck is abusing 1 mana flicker spells.
Probably the best combo with them is with
Mystic Snake
and
Frilled Mystic
. First, they are 4 mana counterspells, but they soon turn into 1 mana counterspells. Literally cheaper than THE
Counterspell
.
With this in mind, you have your other creatures that are still great with flicker spells,
Thragtusk
and
Master Splicer
(These are the win conditions with value)
Now, you have the cards that keep the value train rolling.
Risen Reef
has side value with flicker spells allowing you to either put out another land or drawing a card, if you have multiple out, their abilities stack.
Wilderness Reclamation
and
Season of Growth
are the absolute workhorses of the deck. They allow you to continuously gain value as the game goes on. Being able to play all your spells, then do it again on your opponent's turn, all the while scrying cards, the drawing those cards.
Imagine this. You have a Season of Growth on the field. You cast Wilderness Reclamation for all of your mana. during your opponent's turn, you counter literally anything by playing one of the counter creatures. You get to scry and you see it's a bounce spell. You have just won the game. Now it's your turn. You draw the bounce spell and pass. Now, everytime you counter a spell by flickering one of the creatures, you draw a card and scry one to counter them again. You have essentially put a soft lock on the game. Now you play one of the win conditions and watch the life drain out of your opponent's eyes.
Thats how this deck works.
