Deck discussion for Bant Control

I think since you're running miracle cards, you should also be running index.

Not sure about 4 Jace, might reduce to 2/3.

Angel of Serenity is nice, if you can build the mana to get there. My main concern here would be speed - you have some cheap tokens, but not many, and ur next creature is at 5 for thragtusk.

Also def need to include 2 or 3 cyclonic rifts. This is way better than terminus, but u should have both. Index will help all the more. Since u r going so control heavy and creature light, might also be worth a temporal mastery or 2.

Hope this helps. Feel free to check my Bant standard:

My only changes would be:
-1 Thragtusk
-1 Sphinx's revelation
-1 land
+1 entreat the angels
+1 Selesnya Charm
+1 Azorious Charm

My reasoning is due to the current aggro in the metagame; the selesnya charm stifles alot of it early, either creating a token or exiling a big beater; and Azorious charm, allowing you to draw or put that big beater on top of their library, successfully nullifying a draw. Just trying to help. Good luck!

This deck won me FNM with a 5-0 record going 2-0 each game. However taking it to SCGIndy it got me right outside the top 64. The matchup versus other control decks was really bad.

I'm still working out the exact list but I will add some Cavern of Souls, Centaur Healers, Restoration Angels to the mainboard and Sigarda to sideboard. Maybe one more Angel of Serenity. Also Entreat the Angels only won me the game a few times. It was almost always dealt with immediately and I will either go down to one or cut them completely.

Because of those changes I will need to cut at least 3 Terminus and 1 Supreme Verdict mainboard.
