I'm seeing a lot of posters splash black in the UW builds...what about in a Bant shell? Would splashing a fourth color for Lingering Souls even be worth it? Or is Bant strong enough w/o it?
I'm no expert but...
Adding a 4th colour is bad.
If on CoCo then it adds to your chance of blanking.
I just feel that instead of needing leyline for a card to work just use silence type effects. Defense Grid or maybe Grand Abolisher may be better as they are permanent.
Nebelgast herald is fun in the deck and has won me some games I only currently use 1. I still want to test out nimble obstructionist
Has anyone been testing it?
I think someone else mentioned it but nimble obstructionist does not belong in this deck. The only reason a non spirit is played is due to it being extremely useful. Ie: noble provides acceleration for both mana and early damage.
I'm liking the blessing but do you guys play fewer reducers because of them?
Yes 7 reducers - otherwise standard build w8th flex slots being 2 apostles, 2 remand, 2 peer. Am thinking of trying 3 remand 1 peer or trying a noxious revival.
Loving the 2 apostles blessings main. Played a game against grixis shadow where my turn 2 reducer was facing an eot push. Saved it, followed by another save from a terminate, followed by my turn3. Ritual, ritual, PiF, FB: ritual, ritual, blessing, blessing, cast grape, then FB PiF and grape again for 18 damage.
*Watch out for SB Blood Moon ,sometimes madcap (bring back in KCommands if you see it)
*Do not be too careless with life totals in fear of natural grapeshot kills. ~7 life shoudl be fine
*Their plan A post-board is Empty. Therefore, Anger is great as a tokens sweeper and also kills their enablers
In:
+1 Denial
+2 Anger
+1 LotV

No Leyline of the Void (results are too binary, would rather have more consistent cards that are already good)
Out:
-1 Angler (not about threat density)
-2 KCommand
-1 Terminate
(-1 Terminate)
(-1 Thought Scour)
No izzet staticaster? Empty is their post board plan.

I can't see it as a good fit.
