Intro: This deck started off as a R/U/G, Riku of Two Reflections deck until I realized that I could make it function without R all together and changed it to Bant. I’m still not 100% sold on the Bant choice; it may re-evolve to Esper but we’ll see when I get a chance to playtest later.
The deck is different than anything else that I’ve built in the past; it has ZERO creatures (with the exception of the Commander). It has two focuses:
Explained: Proteus Staff + any token/man-land to reorder my deck with all the land on the bottom + Goblin Charbelcher to kill target opponent (should be able to do enough damage without Mountains in theory)
If I have time to setup my ideal board state, I could even do it multiple times and kill off 2 people in one turn with that combo, although I doubt that will actually ever happen. I’ve included the artifact lands for some additional synergy with Unwinding Clock and Tezzeret the Seeker.
I've been getting a lot of suggestions to try this deck running Sydri, Galvanic Genius as the general and Mana Severance as an alternate win-con with a ton of mana-rocks. I'm going to play this iteration a couple of times on Tuesday and see how it goes; might have to switch it up (again lol) after depending on how it goes. I'll keep this thread updated.
Going to take this to our Tuesday Night Magic group tonight and test it out but have a few hours before I do... anyone have any feedback before I do? I feel like it needs more token producers but I'm struggling to find non-creature ones that aren't awful :|
Sacred Mesa would be a pretty good token producer, as would the new elspeth Elspeth, Sun's Champion, both of those have become cheaper recently with printings (the former from commander deck printing, the latter with the duel deck printing).

Alternate Win-Con: Squirrel Nest + Earthcraft
Any feedback would be appreciated ☺
