Sideboard

Planeswalker (1)


Mid-tier but highly inconsistent (you've been warned!) Bant walkers deck. This was a low-tier deck, but I tweaked that version after finding it too durdly.

There are two things you need for this deck to function:

1) Have at least one, perferably two land enchantment ramps in your starting hand, in addition to two or three lands--mulligan aggressively for them.

2) Have protection from attacking creatures for your planeswalkers. The best is Sphere of Safety which is usually the top priority tutor target for Idyllic Tutor, but taxes like Archon of Absolution and Norn's Annex can also help.

Once the deck gets going, control the board state and look for an opportunity for an unexpected planeswalker ultimate via proliferate shenanigans.

One infinite combo is in the deck: Estrid, the Masked + The Chain Veil. Use Estrid's -1 to put a Mask on Chain Veil; activate Veil; use +2 Estrid to untap Veil as well as enchanted lands. Assuming at least two lands are enchanted, this generates infinite floating mana; infinite loyalty on Estrid; and infinite loyalty and ability acivations of any other walkers out. However, depending on how many and which walkers, this may or may not lead to immediate win.

Deterministic win condition in this deck is Stasis and one of Root Maze, Frozen Aether, or Kismet. You would break parity on the lock with Estrid's +2 and kill via creatures generated by a planeswalker such as Garruk, Primal Hunter.
