Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

First attempt to make a standard deck

If everyone could really help me make this deck amazing I would love to eventually make it as soon as I see it at its peak :D

NOTICE!!**: All of the 1 of's are cards that I potentially like to have in this deck [dont have to, if you find that they are not needed] so I wanted to indicate. I honestly do not know how to begin on making this deck lol

ALSO: I did the same with the land, [1 of's] I decided to show all the non-basic that are within the colors, and I think they can all be potentially in this deck and work well.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out on this everyone. I honestly want to give standard a try (:

With the cards you've listed, you could take this deck in so many directions. Perdonslly I'd run an Esper token deck to use the flashback of Lingering Souls and kill spells, but I'll see what I can suggest for Bant.

I'd really like to see a Talrand based Bant token deck, but that means you'd want to maximise your instant and sorcery count (again, Esper would be beter here because Lingering Souls can be cast twice). Intangible Virtue should be a 4x, but I wouldn't take Parallel Lives and Growing Ranks above 3x (because they cost too much mana). Going the spell heavy route will make Cavern of Souls (almost) usseless. Garruk, Primal Hunter's cool, but because he demands {G}{G}{G} to cast, I'd not run him in Bant (if this where just Selesnya, then I'd say have him at 2x, maybe 3x). Another down side to being spell heavy is 'flicker' affects (Restoration Angel and Cloudshift) become less usefull. I'd treat Druid's Deliverance and Sundering Growth the same way I treat Fog and Naturalize, as sideboard cards. I don't see Doomed Traveler, he's an awesome 1 drop for token decks. Also missing Cackling Counterpart.

Don't forget that Temple Garden and Hallowed Fountain has basic land types and thus allow Hinterland Harbor, Glacial Fortress and Sunpetal Grove to enter the battlefield untapped :p So you'd want to have the shock lands at 4x and the others at 3x (at least). I wouldn't have Gavony Township at more than 2x, it is mana hungry in its activation. Moorland Haunt is awesome in here, but again I'd not run more than 3x. I'm not sure I like Grove of the Guardian, largely because you'd be down a land (there's a lot of creature removal out there... and it's mana hungry).

I completely agree with you here, I would love to run esper, but one of my budds already took that idea [and for some reason I do not like to copy other people] so I chose to do bant, unless you see Red as a better choice to go about, for now I will make the changes according to what you said and work on it from there. What do you think of using lingering souls anyways just for the fact im getting 2 flyers out of it?

Thoughts of snapcaster as well?

I'm in two minds about Snappy. He's a powerful creature in a spell based deck, but there is a surprisingly large number of grave hate cards in standard. So I'm not too sure if Snappy will or will not be as powerful as he was a few months ago...

Al so dont mind the card count, I know its way over the limit, we can cut out the bad and add the better from here :D

Even though I'm not very invested or interested in the standard scene, one thing I've come to notice right away is the new wave of hate aimed at Snappy. I honestly would steer away from using snappy, or blue at all...

I would also nix a Growing Ranks and a Parallel Lives to 2 each. Then, if you go the way of a populate token spam deck, I would grab up some Wayfaring Temples. No idea how those are dollar rares right now...

I was going to go the W/G/B route but one of my buddies snagged it, so what do you think of switching to naya colors instead of BANT? More promising?

The basic concept is fine, but the mana base in so F-ed up, U probably having aweful starting hands all the time...

It seems, that your arsenal is limited... U have 1-2 copies of lot of your cards...

U shouldn't use Lingering Souls, since U can't add black mana... Midnight Haunting is an instant, so it would be better here... U can sudden - bloc creatues wich is equal toa spell that deals damage to attacking creatures... It's very effective with Intangible Virtue....

I'd drop Loothing & the Devil, add 2 more Huntmaster & 3 more lands,,,

Also... Drop a Wolf Run & a Gaviny... Add 2 Mountains...

1 more thing... U have spammed on my deck... I understand U need the help, but U DON'T POST LINKS ON DECKS U DON'T ACTUALLY COMMENT ON!!

Please, at least share your opinion of the deck, if U have no suggestions!..

THX!..

To be honest, I wasn't trying to spam any1. I didn't kno what to say to help you out with your deck. I'm new to standard, that's why I want people's opinion on it

for your first standard, this is pretty legitimate. I dig it. I am fairly new to standard as well, which i feel we both jumped onto a bad rotation, ya know? this is the path i went to be standard. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=394581

I personally think favorable winds is somewhat more important than azorius charm, or maybe think twice, or feeling of dread. Anyways, I also recently created my first competitive standard deck, and if you could give some advice I would appreciate it :D
