Emmara Tandris was an unlikely addition to the deck made after the night was over, I am looking for more Progenitor Mimic s as they would make a better addition at this point.

mana ramp is great now I just need something to use it on lol.

something to use mana ramp on... Master Biomancer makes everything scarier, if you drop a Progenitor Mimic on him people flip out and focus everything on it. with enough mana Increasing Savagery works good especially the flashback. if you have them Thragtusk while over used it is over used for a reason, it is really good.

Staff of Nin a personal favorite of mine gives card draw and pings

just some ideas from the top of my head

I like this, only have 1 Progenitor Mimic 1 Thragtusk and 1 Master Biomancer l9ve the Staff of Nin was thinking Stuffy Doll i have enough of them... i think the Master Biomancer will get put in and i will pull a trostani.

I would avoid using the Stuffy Doll while it can be handy it is more useful in a deck that can actively target it for damage otherwise your opponents will find way around it usually flying or even trample to simply bypass it.

There's too many not-four-ofs along with no focus about being Midrange or Control. Your creatures all say "Wolfrun Bant without Kessig Wolf Run ," but the rest of your spells say "Bant Control without Sphinx's Revelation ."

You really got to pick which end of the spectrum you want to go with.

On another note, for DCI sanctioned events, you're not allowed to alter your decklist at all during the course of the tournament. You're allowed to sideboard games two and three of each round, of course, but you can't alter your deck each round.

Factual. Massive faux pas to be swapping cards in and out of your deck between rounds.

I kind of agree with sylvannos except even Wolf Run Bant uses Sphinx's Revelation .

I really think you need to decide if you want this to be midrange or control. The mana pool and spells yell bant control, but you're only running one Thragtusk and no Restoration Angel s.

Here's my riff on this version of Bant: Controlling the Beasts

These have been the issues i have been having, Thragtusk is not very easy to get in my location. I want more thrag, and Progenitor Mimic the Restoration Angel would really make the thrag smash.

Now just to find people @ Warp2 who have what i need.

I have modified... adding Biomancer to take up the slack for not havingenough multiples of the required cards..

It playtests nicelyespecially with Progenitor Mimic but still thats no real game.

My goal is to keep it as a lockdown style deck, i want to make it more counter-spell Negate or Rewind but i do like my Oblivion Ring , Detention Sphere flip combo in leu of Restoration Angel until i can fill that gap.
