What started as a Black/Green constellation deck featuring the new Herald of the Pantheon has now morphed into an Abzan constellation deck with white splashed for Starfield of Nyx and Banishing Light.

Swapped out Whip of Erebos for Demonic Pact. The pact is very good but must be removed and for that we have the 4 Banishing Light and 2 Reclamation Sage. With an active Starfield you can also Murderous Cut or aim the 4 drain damage from the Pact back at itself.

Starfield of Nyx can recur just about anything, and with 4x Commune with the Gods you will likely have an array of options to reanimate.

Brain Maggot works wonders with Starfield--disrupting their hand while adding to the enchantment count. Combined with the discard from Demonic Pact you can empty hands pretty quickly.

Courser helps smooth your draws and blocks early. Eidolon of blossoms makes most of your spells cantrip. Doomwake to end the game.

Working with Demonic Pact has made me respect the card alot, but I wouldn't play it versus control as they will let you have your three turns and then counter whatever destroy effect you have pointed at the Pact.
