Glad I caught that match with LSV. I really want to build that deck that he is playing now.
4 people took that net deck to a saturday tournament at my local game store and they all top 8ed and one wound up winning. It is a pretty well designed deck, amazingly smooth infact. I'm glad Knight of Reliquary is seeing major play now. Smother will probably start seeing more play in response
Here's a deck I've been working on, it's basically exalted bant of old but uses the tech of whispersilk cloak and stoneforge mystic and after seeing the success of the pro tour i have since added basilisk collar and behemoth sledge-the life gain really helps it win vs RDW, rhoxy, and collar spell trouble. Yes cloak is expensive but with all of the ramp it is not too much trouble. Many decks have trouble dealing with a cloaked Rhox or Reliqary with Finest Hour in play, and if you drop a rafiq it is very possible to do 20 in one hit.
I really need help with the mana base-maybe I should get terramorphics in place of citadel. I wanted to play Sejiri Merfolk in place of the Qasali Pridemage but I couldn't get the plains in play consistently. Can anyone help out with a 24 land bant manabase, preferably no citadel?
jace will really push $100? That's alot of cash. I just traded mine for 4 Hierarch's. O well, lol. How can Jace be a $100 card? That's ridiculous if it's true
Finally i see why you hate vampires, vampire dominate Bant (your favourite?) really hard. Vampire is like a slavemaster and bant is the slave on his knees
@ OP: I also love the sparkmage + basilisk collar, ofcourse we knew this but i didn't think it would be good in a serious tournament. Stoneforge Mystic is good, no doubt! she can cheat in Sludge and avoid counters!!! I have a WR deck based on equipments and such thanks to a thread in the "Standard Deck Creation" section!
lol yar vampies are my arch enemy, but mostly I just don't like how wizards built the deck for everyone and even wrote an article how they purposefully made a competive level creature at each manacost 1-5 so it curves out perfectly and has answers for everything. I like when wizards tries to design individual cards and lets the players find the decks, rather than design decks.
Other great tech-Everflowing Chalice and Martial Coup in UW control
Vamps, UW Control, Jund, GSS is very mainboardable, I mean personally I'd play Rhoxy Pancakes Man mainboard and GSS sideboard but this guy did pretty decently in standard I assume so GSS must be working for him.
I'm just wondering if qasali pridemage will begin to see more play now.
Yep, I'm gonna start mainboarding those guys in my bant deck now, and coincidentally, I've been playing Mystic in exalted bant deck and it turns out making guys like Rafiq or Rhox unblockable and shrouded with Whispersilk Cloak is really really good, and nearly GG vs most decks if you drop a Finest Hour
Mystic is so versatile, and so amazing in legacy for her Jitte fetching skills. It's a new eternal white aggro staple, glad I got mine for $1.50 each.

This is my first time watching these internet coverages, they're done really well, it's pretty interesting, im surprised

My favorite tech is EXALTED BANT and the return of Rafiq
