ok, quick, why is voliac construct in here? it can only untap artifact creatures. use etiher voltiac key or add in animate artifacts to turn it into a creature that way you actually don't even need the constructs since intruder alarm will untap the foundry anyway.

oh yes, and by really well, I mean complete and total control by turn 2 or 3 (especially with orim's chant sided in for the hinders)
ok, so I ran this deck (cuz I like it so much) in a simulator and it does really well but this is the land base I used: 4 hallowed fountain 4 watery grave 4 island 2 Godless Shrine 4 Reflecting Pool 4 Polluted Delta This makes your deck only 60 cards AND slightly more efficient. Hope this helps!
Congrats ANON, this would be incredibly interesting to play. Nice use of soul foundry, usually people just use it to make stupid things like zuberas or whatever. I do agree with you slightly on orim's chant, it can take the fun out of a game, it's nice to dangle hope in front of your opponent only to steal it away with a well timed counterspell. I mean, i'd sideboard it just in case though. You may find a deck that will give this one a run for its money and that would surely send that deck (whatever it is) packing. Nice deck. (and you KNOW I don't say that often). Only thing I have is that you should switch out the expanse and some of your basic lands for better non basic lands. i.e. reflecting pool, shock lands, etc. This way your 3 colors won't become your weakness.
This deck is COMPLETELY and TOTALLY never going to be allowed legally to be played. Hey, For giggles why not throw in 4 copies of each mox and that way only have 5 islands?? and for the hell of it add 2 more lotuses just because you like breaking the rules. I mean rule bending is fine for casual but this is ridiculous.
This is a deck I ran for an extended format, I don't know why I don't have it on here but this is what a real affinity deck looks like. It's incredibly fast and kills in only a few turns. Try shooting for more artifacts with affinity. 4 Arcbound Ravager 4 Arcbound Worker 4 Frogmite 4 Master of Etherium 4 Ornithopter 3 Shrapnel Blast 3 Chromatic Star 4 Cranial Plating 4 Springleaf Drum 4 Thoughtcast 4 Darkblast 4 Ancient Den 2 Blinkmoth Nexus 4 Great Furnace 4 Seat of the Synod 4 Vault of Whispers Sideboard: 4 Ethersworn Canonist 3 Atog 4 Relic of Progenitus 4 Delay
I have 2 mana drains, but they are serving a better purpose. This deck can take care of itself and doesn't have high mana costs to really use mana drain to it's fullest. I got the Force of Wills that I wanted and replaced the counterspells with them.
The key to Bant is getting a lot of colors fast. The only way to ensure this is with good nonbasic lands, like the pain lands and reflecting pool for example. Replace Sureblade with Rhox War Monk, The sureblade costs less mana, but is lacking in the toughness and lifelink also the cost difference shouldn't make much difference since usually turn 2 you will have 3 mana available anyway.
The end to ALL relentless rats decks (including mine): Maelstrom Pulse... :(
I hope "standart" in your title wasn't supposed to be standard.
Utilize lightning bolt to get rid of opponents creatures or deal dmg.
74 cards is a lot, try taking out 10 mountains, you have low cost creatures anyway, you won't miss the land. This will bring you down to 64, still slightly big, but certainly manageable. Also instead of lightning elemental, try out Ball lightning.
If you change the ashnods to phyrexian altar and add something that taps for damage or comes into play for damage, you can use sneak attack to deal inf dmg. Here's how it works: Creature comes into play with sneak attack, after doing dmg sac the creature to the altar adding R to your mana pool, the creature comes back to your hand and you have the R to activate sneak attack again. In fact, you could eliminate green if you include this by taking out the thorn elemental. This would open you up to including more RW dual lands to make sure you have the WW required on 4th turn. If you don't take green out, add BOP to speed you up a bit. Have fun!
This deck doesn't look bad, I don't usually say this but... I love your land selection for this. Shielding sphere is a 0/6 0 cost creature, you may want to look into it. Usually I would say if you can lower a decks number of colors go for it, but with your land base and the abilities some of your cards bring, 'd say this is just fine. Good deck. This is my Renewal Deck, it's monocolor: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=11108
My Bad, shrieking drake. haha.
Right, but against many standard decks even, you won't really make it to turn 4. Bant has easy ways of ending the game consistently on turn 4. And clear the land allows your opponent to get lands too, increasing their ability to counter something you do later on. And if you do get those 2 together and you do put the 6 on top and someone has an answer to the Clear the land, you're drawing all lands for the next 5 turns, that's a shame. If you can pull it off that would be good, but against control you're doomed since you don't have any protection for your creatures too. Having large creatures isn't always best (it is good though), don't forget you can get overrun by small creatures and you can only block one at a time.
I only had to buy a few cards but it was still at least $300 for me to finish. That isn't bad though considering the decklist. and I've been building my collection for about 13 years now so I would hope that it would be pretty extensive haha. The joke wasn't bad.
Screeching Drake is also good for equilibrium. It's 1 mana, when it comes into play return a creature you control to your hand. And yes, it can return itself to your hand.
Ah yes, almost forgot. Here is my Bant deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=20643
You need 2 more rafiqs, 4 noble heirarchs, 4 rhox war monks. that way you swing turn 3 with a 5/6 doublestrike lifelinker. The secret to bant is that it is fast but you took the speed out of it by using cards that aren't the traditional low mana cost bant destroyers we have come to know and love. Also make this standard legal. you don't need the non standard cards you have here.
