I LOVE Comments! Please give advice! I take everything into thought. Don't forget to +1 if you like it!

Creatures -

Karametra, God of Harvests - I really like this god, I feel she provides a lot of utility, because she thins my deck and is usually a creature.

Loxodon Smiter - A powerhouse when it comes to creatures. 3 CMC for a 4/4 is very scary for your opponents.

Witchstalker - Great 3/3 hexproof with nice abilities, and the hexproof helps me bestow Chromanticore onto him and feel safe about it.

Sylvan Caryatid - Wish I had 4, but I don't. Great for mana fixing which this deck can need.

Fleecemane Lion - The creature that is a bestowed Chromanticore 's best friend. After monstrosity he is nearly unkillable. Only Merciless Eviction and sacrificing outlets can really take care of him, but I should have enough creatures to keep him alive via Elspeth etc for things like Devour Flesh

Scavenging Ooze - A really great card in here. I had Centaur Healer s in here instead until I was able to trade for the Scoozes. Fits really nicely in this deck.

Chromanticore - The honey of this deck. Even though he is usually casted as a enchantment, he is still a creature in heart. He flat out ends games for me. His primary target for bestow is Fleecemane Lion with his monstrosity activated. Witchstalker is another great target for him. And if I have two in hand at the time, I even sometimes bestow a Chromanticore onto another Chromanticore ! Love this guy so much! And with my lands and Chromatic Lantern I almost NEVER have a problem casting him.

Instants, Sorceries, Artifacts, and Enchantments -

Detention Sphere - In my opinion, one of the best removal cards in standard. It hits EVERYTHING, which is great, the two things it doesn't hit which is a big issue for this deck is Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Obzedat, Ghost Council, two huge bombs against this deck.

Chromatic Lantern - This card allows me to cast or bestow Chromanticore with ease. It is also nice for adding that extra mana you almost always want to have.

Sphinx's Revelation - I run a one-of of this guy. In my old bant version I had two, but since I'm pretty much "splashing blue" for Chromanticore , I figured I could get away with one in my mainboard.

Planeswalker -

Elspeth, Sun's Champion - Great Planeswalker, unfortunately I only have one, but it is such a great card that is in junk colors, so I have to run it.

Jace, Architect of Thought - I really love Jace, his +1 and -2 are both extremely good. He is so versatile, which is why he is worth a fair amount of money.

Went 3-1-0 last night. PRetty happy overall.

First Game - Not sure how I lost this to be honest. He was new and bad at the game, he was play a poor mans version of mono red. I don't know if it was my draws or something, but somehow he won two games in a row. I lost 0-2

Second Game - This deck was a mono-black deck. It didn't have all of the goodies it needed though, was a work in progress. I won 2-0

Third Game - Played against another red deck, but this one was splashing white. He was using Satyr Firedancer. It was pretty good, but my hexproof got in the way of his decks main focus. I won 2-1

Fourth Game - Played against a pretty loaded azorius control deck. But I was surprisingly able to beat him down with a Witchstalker bestowed with chromantore. The next game was the same thing, but he Celestial Flared my witchstalker, but then i bestowed a Chromanticore onto another Chromanticore. Really fun game, glad I got to face a control deck. I won 2-0
