MTG Salvation

So does anyone see any AVR cards they'd consider adding? So far I'm not stoked on anything

It's still too early to talk about those cards. I do love the idea of using bant to get Hexproof + Huge Buff though. I'm looking at doing 3 Angelic Destiny and 3 Increasing Savagery along with all the Hexproof and Undying favorites.

Invisible Stalker + Increasing Savagery or Angelic Destiny = Amazing!
Mirran Crusader + Angelic Destiny or Spectral Flight = Amazing!
GoST + Angelic Destiny or Increasing Savagery or Spectral Flight = Amazing!
Strangleroot Geist + Angelic Destiny or Spectral Flight = Amazing!
Thalia + Angelic Destiny or Increasing Savagery or Spectral Flight = Amazing!
Vorapede + Angelic Destiny or Spectral Flight = Amazing!

I'm really warming to the idea of Increasing Savagery, at least as a budget one-of until I get a third Sword of War and Peace. The flashback puts it over the top. Top-decking lands in this deck is awful when you need a threat or a threat accelerator, and the recursion there seems good.

Here's my current list for reference.

the problem with Increasing Savagery is that you can't cast it on Mirran Crusader

Oh barf, I didn't even notice. Get the **** out of my deck, Increasing Wankery.

Quote from Shonen07

You can replace mirran crusader by Silverblade Paladin.
You can cast Increasing savagery and both creatures have double strike

I would never do that

After rotation for sure. In the meantime, those protections are so clutch. It's the single reason this deck has no problems with zombies.

At first I was thinking that paladin is too dependent on other creatures, since without a bond mate he doesn't get his own ability, but then I remembered that we constantly have birds and pilgrims out as well. So yeah, maybe.

Let's remember. New Card Discussion isn't permitted yet.

Alright, now that the new cards forum is closed, let's talk about what this deck can use from AVR.

Terminus seems good, and I like Entreat the Angels. Not totally sure about either.

Any others?

But how often are we made to sac anything right now? I can't remember the last time that happened.

This is a tokens aggro meta. Literally every deck should be maindecking ratchet bombs.

Quote from Ryder052

Who cares about the sac part? It's a 5/5 flying hexproof.

Phantasmal Image and his uncle Metamorph says hi.

They say the same thing to geist and we love his ghostly little balls off.

I forgot about the hexproof. Worth considering.

This deck utilizes the ability of precursor golem to deal a massive amount of damage in a single turn. Its goal is to set up the combo of precursor Golem+mirran mettle+some sort of evasion. This is the list:

This is my version of Bant Hexblade. Still working on the sideboard and the manabase. Basically it wants me to put a sword on a hexproof guy, and beat face.

Have a similar Bant build but I'm using two Gideon Juras instead of Garruk. Also I'm thinking of another build that centers around Wolfir Silverheart, still in development.

This is my attempt at a deck that can hit hard but, maintain a control over the opponent. I would like to be able to use it in a semi-competitive environment and be able to pull wins. I would appreciate constructive criticism.

Welp, here is my list!

Served me pretty well so far.

So I haven't seen many lists with M13 stuff. Here is my current list, which is working awesomely:

So, I've been playing Esper Midrange for a while and with M13, I got the idea to swap to Bant. I'm going to try something along these lines.



Sideboard is dependent on where I play. One place has a lot of Ux Delver decks and the other is dominated by RG.

Hey, i haven't played competitive magic in awhile and i'm trying to get right back into it. looking at recent cards iv pulled from packs etc, i believe this is the best deck i can put together right now please lemme know what you think. ill be trying to play it at the next fnm or the following week.



ill run about 21 land with a copy of cavern and 2 moorland haunt but otherwise im to lazy to figure out exact mana base at the immediate moment
in talking to a friend who has been keeping up with my meta its all solar flare, pod, and wolf-run decks
so wat do you think?

Quote from p0kerface

Have you tried Abundant Growth in Bant? Post-Rotation it could be crucial card, considering that BoP's will probably roll out.

I expect to see Birds in Return to Ravnica, considering they were reprinted in R:COG.

With Ravnica following so close to the M13 release, I am willing to bet that is why they were dropped from the 2013 core set.

Bant Midrange



Phantasmal Image is a great card, but he can't carry equipment. He often helped stall or increased my board position, but too many times came where I needed it to hold a sword, but couldn't.

Also, this is an aggro varient where cards like Ponder and Think Twice just don't fit, but I wish I could at that consistency without losing steam.
