Alright, so this is my newest take on a Bant deck for the new set/ meta. Basically it revolves around getting you're big creatures out and swinging wile not allowing you're opponent to do anything. (Just as any bant deck would) However I tried to build this around consistency. basically it revolves around ramping mana early, then swinging then using Kiora's Followers, Kruphix, God of Horizons, and Prophet of Kruphix to reset you're side of the field. other then that, the blue helps get good creatures out, but mostly controls, and white is specifically for control. Kiora, the Crashing Wave negates whatever gets to stay on the field with her plus one and the emblem that comes later makes swinging a lot easier. Elspeth, Sun's Champion just makes blockers esentially, but those soldiers can swing. Her second ability provides an emergency reset button for big things, should things like Cyclonic Rift fail or be used against me.

Note: This deck is still in the play testing phase so if anyone has any suggestions for consistency let me know please! :D
