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

Deck Description

best friend made a jund deck, girlfriend made a grixes deck, so I guess I have to make a bant deck.

I started playing during the end of the zendikar block so unfortunately I never got to play the alara block when it was current. That being said I'm very open to suggestions on improving this.

My idea is to use stoic angel to my advantage with her and some other creature I control having vigilance.

Deck discussion for a swing at bant

Looks pretty solid. Your mana curve could be lowered just a hair, but otherwise Bant is great for casual and competitive :) This is a bit more casual, but that's okay.

To fix the mana curve, I'd suggest 4-8x 1-CMC creatures. Gideons Lawkeeper is a solid choice with Stoic Angel on the battlefield, and Birds of Paradise is a classic 1-drop creature that helps to ramp into powerful early game drops.

To fit either of them in, you could drop Knight of the Reliquary, considering you only have 3 lands he can sac and only 4 other lands that can go to the graveyard on their own. He's going to be a fairly weak pick for this deck.

It's an older card, but Serra's Blessing is also a solid card to play with Stoic Angel.

I'm working on my own non-exalted Bant Deck, taking advantage of Stoic Angel with creature buffs and vigilance. One of the biggest assets to my build is Green Sun's Zenith, because it can fetch Stoic Angel out of my library, as well an early game Birds of Paradise or other multicolor green creatures I'm running.

Just a few thoughts :) Hope this helps!

Ooh! Also, Ajani Goldmane is once again, a solid card to play with Stoic Angel. His minus ability puts a +1/+1 counter on your creatures and gives them vigilance until the end of the turn. I use him in place of Serra's Blessing, and to pump counters onto my Birds of Paradise.

Thanks for the suggestions I added 2 green suns 3 serra's blessings, and 4 birds. I like the ajani idea as well, but I feel its much easier to get rid of ajani. I run ajani in my w/bu venser/ally deck, I love him:P

I like the changes :) You said 2 GSZ, but I see 3 in the deck list.. 3x seems to be about the right number to run, imo, enough to consistently draw it or a Birds early game for mana ramp, and/or consistently draw one mid-late game for whatever creature you need. And in this deck, that's any one of them! :)

Good luck, hope this works out well for you. Come back and leave a reply about how it plays ^_^
