I'm just getting back into Magic since Ice Age, so this is my first shot at a Morph/Manifest Deck.

Manifest seems like it works well with Morph, allowing you the potential to pay a cheaper CMC instead of a more expensive Morph (i.e. Master of Pearls and Hooded Hydra)

I've put in both Icefeather Aven and Kheru Spellsnatcher as my removal, choosing to sideboard Thousand Winds if I need more.

I know Bant may not be the best choice, but I like it, so that's what I went with.

I added both Cloudform and Lightform to increase the manifest, but 4 of it may be too much, so let me know.

I have Secret Plans for card draw, Trail of Mystery for a bit of ramping (does that count as ramping?) and Mastery of the Unseen to also increase manifest.

There is a bit of lifegain from Lightform , Mastery of the Unseen and Watcher of the Roost.

Maybe the deck is trying to do too much, so let me know what you think. This is a prototype as I only have about half the cards needed for it. I do plan on grabbing singles soon, so the sooner I get comments from you all, the better.

Lots of Changes -- some games take hours — March 8, 2015

Edit

I've made a lot of changes to this deck and it is still a WIP.

I weak points early on were end game and going up against flyers.

I've increased my flyers with Lightform, Icefeather Aven and Dromoka, the Eternal.

Increased Mastery of the Unseen for more life gain, and more Trail of Mystery to get more lands out of the way for Manifest. I have Secret Plans mostly to make the Blue seen worth it, but the extra toughness on face-down creatures is nice and card draw to avoid top-decking.

I am loving Ghostfire Blade whether it's going on a big hitter like Whisperwood Elemental, Temur Sabertooth, or Dromoka, the Eternal, or even buffing a manifested Forest to 4/4.

Dromoka might come out to add more Temur Sabertooth (when I get more) or something else over there in my maybeboard.
