Deck discussion for Stupid good Bant deck

Haha I made something almost exactly like this but added Jhessian Balmgiver to make them unblockable and Sigil Blessing with Reborn Hope for extra annoyance (not that it needs it)

One of my friends has a deck exactly like this, he threw in Berserk though for that extra punch. It works insanely well.

Berserk huh? Sounds like his is a more aggro-based one. Mine's a little bit in the middle. =]

as a suggestion, if you really want an early beater, I'd think about putting in Shorecrasher Mimic.

Lightmine Field is a sick addition to this deck, and is the bane of all Aggro decks.

Seriously. Lightmine Field should say "As Lightmine Field enters the battlefield, target aggro player concedes the game." XD

Glad you're a fan. Have any suggestions?

Nice, I never would have thought to combine the Lightmine Field with Exalted. Looks like tons'o'fun.

Now this is the surewhynot I've been missing! Dude, well done! I didn't realize how cool exalted was until I saw this deck (mostly because I didn't realize exalted stacked...).

Perhaps as a real sideboard, Voidslime to combat some control and burn decks?
Crystallization instead of Path to Exile?

I'm unfamiliar with Bant, so I may not be much help...

Love the deck bud!

Hey thanks man. I'm a fan of this deck too, and exalted is amazing, especially with Lightmine Field acting as a giant middle finger.

I want to see Bant Charms. I know they are control, and this is agro, but c'mon, Bant charm is a response to a lot of threats that could be pulled on you. While it can't deal with enchantments, you have Qasali Pridemage to do that.

This deck is hilariously good. I use something just like this, but with a little bit more aggro, just because I like that way of play. But great deck, like all of you're decks are just insanely good.

Fantastic deck. I'm in the process of making a bant deck, and I love the combos of exalted you have here. As a random suggestion, you could slip in Meekstone, from back in the 7th edition days; this would prevent his guys from untapping, while yours (since they're mostly 2/2s until they attack) would be fine.

Also "Angelic Benediction" would be perfect for this deck.

When my friend first tried (and failed) to make a Bant deck, I denied his claims that exalted stacked. But eventually, it has to be admitted: Bant is f@#$ing amazing.

and as far as suggestions go, if your not sticking with the extended format, dueling grounds make exalted decks shit bricks when they read the card.

I might make this deck. It is pretty simple because most of the cards are from shards, but I still love it

Thanks for the deck. I was able to acquire it for about 50$ on MTGO. I have played about 20 games and have not lost.

This looks really good, but wouldn't some trample be in order, or some other way to guarantee hits? How would you deal with a deck that can pump out a lot of tokens or chump blockers?

Also Battlegrace Angel would be great for this, though it is very expensive.

That was 4 years ago though =P

Hello.
I'm currently working on a bant exalted deck and I'm basing it with this amazing deck of yours :]
I just got one question however, my budget is limited, thus not allowing me to get some of the pricier cards on this deck, and my question is, what would you recommend in exchange of the 4 Noble Hierarch as they are quite pricy for me at the moment. thanks for your time.

The next best thing would be Birds of Paradise, but if you can't work with those I would go with some mix of Llanowar Elf and Avacyn's Pilgrim =]

Hello once again.
I am currently building a new deck for my girlfriend and I was wondering if by any chance you had the will and time to help me out. After going over several of your decks I really liked most of them and are nicely crafted (the last deck i built was a vampire one for my girlfriend based strictly on the one you have posted here =]).
I have no other way of contacting you (I believe), that is why I'm commenting here yet again in hopes to get your attention. I would really appreciate it if you could do me this huge favor as my building skills are not really anything amazing and I have always had a hard time figuring out how exactly build a consistent deck.
I have looked around for examples of the deck I'm currently trying to build but I was unsuccessful in finding any deck at all that I could follow thus turning all my hopes onto you =]. If you are in a position in which you are unable to come to my aid its completely understandable as I may be asking for a little too much but I believe you are a great deck builder.
If you have the time and will to help me out on this task let me know whenever you're available and I will fill you in on all the details of the deck I'm trying to build. I don't mind communicating through here but I can also be available on skype through messages or facebook, or any other website that will ease the conversation of this.
Thanks for your time =].

Also, you gave your girlfriend my vampire deck?! Ouch, I feel bad for anyone who goes up against her...that deck is nasty.

I'd be happy to help. At the moment I don't have all that much going on, so ask away =]

Also, if you (or anyone for that matter) wish to reach me, you could also PM me or post a message on my profile on the Forums, or you can email me at [email protected]

I should maybe set up a Facebook page, but eh...Maybe another time =]
