So, this deck has been an evelution over that last few months of modern FNM and tournaments. Started as an Abzan Midrange, but was concerend on how slow it was. Then I added a fourth color for Geist of Saint Traft and Bant Charm. It performed well but had real mana issues. I felt that a turn two Geist was something I wanted to keep doing in modern, so here is my most recent take on a Bant Beatdown deck. Has tested well so far, but some suggestions or comments are welcome.
