Bant Advocates Rally for Zendikar!

Casual Allies Budget Casual GWU (Bant) Midrange Theme/Gimmick

BoCaliv


The tides are calling and lands Awaken. Have a prayer then embrace the scene.

We wander and break for the journeys sake. Leave nothing behind as we roil the seas.

An envoy was sent. Through the woodlands I descend. Anticipate now--discovery found!

A lantern for you, my steely blue. These winds are scattering, and this canopy shall too.


The unofficial motto of every expedition house is "ready for anything," a phrase whose significance has been amplified since the emergence of the Eldrazi.


The poem is me roleplaying as Noyan Dar. I am describing what it would be like to battle for the plane of Zendikar. All the hardships, and losses the Allies must take while fighting back the Eldrazi was enough inspiration. Bant is a shard about the protection of the plane. I for one don't want those FILTHY monsters taking over our world. Will you join the Allies of Zendikar to take back their land? Or will you cower beneath the monstrosities that are the Eldrazi Spawn...

Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper --After many years as a lullmage, Noyan Dar turned his talents from allaying Zendikar's fury to the considerably easier task of rousing it.

"Our people are torn by infighting. Until the two sides reconcile, our laws can carry no meaning."


Skyrider Elf & Woodland Wanderer are my Converge threats to utilize my Bant powers! Converge getting the Elf & Elemental to 5/5 & 6/6 respectfully. Wanderer eats Siege Rhino all day!

"It may be unconventional, but I'll take any steady mount in a storm."

"The elements understand better than anyone that actions speak louder than words."--Gideon Jura

With Ally Encampment s & Beastcaller Savant s I can use Converge to its full potential. Sacrifice the encampments to bounce back any Ally to save it, or to reapply Lifelink to any new Awakened lands.

"They come because I call. They stay because I listen."

"Our people are torn by infighting. Until the two sides reconcile, our laws can carry no meaning."


Since Awaken is a big theme in the deck Sylvan Advocate is a great secondary Lord to buff my Manlands and Awakened lands. Having Vigilance as well is amazing come late-game! A 2/3 body turn 2 is fantastic, and then later on buffing into a 4/5 is straight value. Then on top of that an Awakened & activated Lumbering Falls becomes an 8/8...DAMN!!!

"The land gives of itself. Its abundance provides, even in times of chaos."

Noyan Dar, Roil Shaper fuels the deck's engine by utilizing every resource available to you. The ability to give ANY land Haste, and turn it into a 3/3 body means value from every spell. The end-game madness that this Merman can bring is staggering. An army of lands just staring back at you. Wave after wave of elemental creatures either in the air or at your face!

Paired with Halimar Tidecaller s to get back all spent Awaken spells. She really gives value to using bounces early. Then giving all land creatures evasion...YES PLEASE, and she's an Ally!?

"Quiet the waves? Why would I want to do that?"

Lantern Scout is my main Lord to Rally trigger off all my Allies. Creatures under your control gain Lifelink. So even my Awakened lands become a serious issue for you after I've Rallied the team. She's not the strongest Ally Lord, but gaining up to 10+ life per Rally swing stacks up quickly!

"Hedron lanterns fend off more than just the darkness."
