In my (so far limited) testing, BBE is a great addition to this deck. In the version I play, the worst hits are Noble Hierarch and Lotus Cobra, and those are not even that bad. The times I've hit Rallier with Revolt, Saheeli and Evolution have felt insanely powerful. If you're playing a value-oriented build like mine, elf is a great card that probably elevates this deck's power level. I'm currently running only 3 BBE to have room for more bullets, and only a single Guardian.
Am I overvaluing Noble Hierach in the above list? If your only hard red card is Pia And Kira, wouldn't it make more sense to swap it for anything else and use Nobles over Birds?
Then again, I didn't make top 32.
I'm also interested in testing JMTS in any list that would have run Riverwise Augur
I like Archangel of Tithes in the GW heavy or bant shell. Also who doesn't like jamming angels? The problem I see with it is against combo go wide like elves or devoted company, they can make one dude just huge anyway, or infinite mana.
Do you feel the extra black or red cards hurts your burn matchup?
I've been leaning towards bant only because I think unfortunately after voice and cobra that Coiling Oracle is the best two drop. I'm still looking for a better two drop as the slot is crucial, my dorks often get removed.
And because I've encounter a lot of burn in my area, fetching forests and plains all day has been great.
Oh and 4 hierachs over perform, as they do in most decks that can use them.
@maniospas Thanks for the analysis really helpful. I've taken out a plains for township and it has been great for me. (Because I want as many t1 forest-> dorks as possible) Overall I am having a blast with the deck.
Hello I'm on a 4 cobra / 4 rallier bant list. I've had some success at FNM, but I'm wondering if I'll be able to squeeze a Gavony Township in place of a Plains or Forest, anyone know the math?
Are there any lists that are okay with Avacyn's Pilgrim.
What about a build with arbor elf or utopia sprawl for more color fixing?
Do you have a decklist?

There's nothing to replace cobra with that is more relevant as a topdeck right now, unfortunately.
