+1 for the doctor who gif and maybe use Lavinia of the Tenth in the side board or some other detain cards

I mention why in the description fluffybunnypants.

Lavinia of the Tenth ... would be mainboard actually shadow63, replacing Thragtusk. Main reason: It'd destroy Splinter Twin, zoo, affinity, and Abzan.

Woah.

And it may be reason enough to use Ghostway.

Because then we have an infinite lock. Eternal Witness + Lavinia of the Tenth on the field, cast Ghost Way, at EOT lavinia and witness come into play, witness giving me Ghostway and Lavinia locking down my opponents field.

LOVE IT!

Playtests are coming in!

NONONO! Why is that gif in the description! You horrid deckbuilder!

I do quite like the idea of blink, and it seems to fit in the Bant shell the most.

I agree with JexInfinite. Don't you realize that which holds the image of an angel, becomes itself an angel?

I never watched much Doctor Who, maybe one or two episodes. I ran away when the Weeping Angels' episode came on.

This just seems like fun. Would love to play something like this at my local. Folks would be confused.

Ghostway actually is an instant so you should run it? unless you actually don't have more than 2 creatures on the field at a time (you mentioned that it was not an instant as a reason to not play it)

Femme_Fatale says... #14

Ghostway does not provide instant speed ETB triggers Satytap. I cannot use it to blink in Mystic Snake to counter a spell or blink in Eternal Witness to Path an attacker.

Satytap says... #15

never mind that, just read the text more carefully. Btw I really really like this deck. A lot. I'm poor and my only deck is a makeshift BW flicker deck and it makes me smile seeing that flicker can be competitive! Gonna test a bunch to see if i should save for the missing pieces :D

Femme_Fatale says... #16

I know very well that it is an instant. But what is the point of an instant speed blink spell if it doesn't provide instant speed etb effects? The reason why Ghostway is used is because of the interaction with Eternal Witness. Ghostway makes them etb after the spell has hit the grave, and this allows you to return it to your hand with Eternal Witness, essentially giving you never ending etb triggers. The problem here is that it doesn't work in this deck. The blinking is to be able to be able to play reactively to my opponent with instant speed etb triggers. I need to be able to have Mystic Snake counter spells and Eternal Witness remove creatures in response to them enchanting/equipping/buffing/attacking with them. Ghostway doesn't let me do that.

Awesome deck theme, from a big Doctor Who fan. Good job.

oh, came up with some sneaky tech since the Sylvan Caryatid are there, Worship.

Sooo...

I see it in your description, but why are you so opposed against Snappy, Cryptic and VClique?

I didnt read all the comments because I'm way lazy for that but why no Thragtusk?

That card is ridiculous.

Also, BMoon is in for Tron? I feel like making your deck on average worse is a bad way to combat another deck, It isnt an overwhelming amount of the meta right now so I feel it is unnecessary.

Why no Noble Hierarch or Birds of Paradise? The Hexproof claus seems kinda bad. Id much rather have my Bird eat a strike of lightning that a Finks in response to a flicker effect.

Femme_Fatale says... #21

I was considering them bijschjdbcd, and I would have put them in if nbarry223 didn't suggest Worship.

But what am I supposed to put Worship in for? Supreme Verdict? That would allow me to remove 1 Blood Moon and the Fracturing Gust out of the sideboard and put Kitchen Finks entirely in the sideboard. Leaving me with more room for control. I think 2x Bant Charm mainboard and remove Dissolve for 1x Remand, 1x Restoration Angel and 1x Momentary Blink.

I don't even need Kitchen Finks sideboard actually. Nor Suppression Field. Nor Wilt-Leaf Liege or Polymorphist's Jest. I could fit in an additional Worship and put in 2 Vendilion Clique in the sideboard. Hell, I want to run 3x Worship mainboard for consistency.

Mainboarding Worship changes this deck entirely x.x I can completely ignore creature interaction and just go straight for counterspells on things that would remove them, something that a bant blink shell would do quite well. Complete with fliers to hit Liliana of the Veil and their life total, I wouldn't have to worry about anything.

No wait, Kitchen Finks is superb against control. Whereas a wrath would normally slaughter me, Kitchen Finks can bypass them in order to stay on the field. Would I even need Vendilion Clique in the sideboard since all the combos are damage combos? Or I could use Twilight Shepherd in the sideboard against control along with a Surrak Dragonclaw. A single Sigarda, Host of Herons against abzan?

Heeeeelp!

Hey !

AEther Vial, Snapcaster mage and Wall of omens would be great in this deck !

February 23, 2015 11:16 a.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #23

I don't have enough creatures to make AEther Vial worth it pielto, and Wall of Omens holds little to no value for me. I want to blink Eternal Witness or Mystic Snake for answers. Regarding that, Snapcaster Mage really limits the amount of times I can answer anything, as I can't use the same Path to Exile spell 3 times in a row.

February 23, 2015 11:39 a.m.

pielto says... #24

Yes snapcaster isn't that good from this point of view. Don't forget that Wall of omens is a great tempo card against aggro decks tho, in addition to the blinkable draw and the consistency that may lack in your 1/2 mana drops !This being said, i like your ideas and go try it now

Have you considered Avalanche Riders as a lock-down option? With blink, the land destruction gets pretty insane.It has only one drawback: it's a 4 cmc 2/2 creature.
