The Central focus of this deck is to play planeswalkers, and protect them. To that end, each of the creatures in the deck provides a vital function. Prognostic Sphinx is a perfect option to make use of the effects of either Ajani, Rattleclaw Mystic is in here because of the ramp he provides, with or without me having access to green mana, and Courser of Kruphix has great synergies with any of the planeswalkers that provide card advantage.
