Bant good stuff deck. I've opted to go the comboless route in favor of controling the board until I stabilize and then crash in with an equiped Rafiq. In a 2 player duel, depending on the draw, I tend to play more tempo by ramping into Rafiq early and then backing him up with counterspells. In either multiplayer or duel settings this deck has the ability to go long using the planeswalker package and control elememts and then switch gears and close out quick with Rafiq and the equipment package or Finest Hour.

I chose to highlight just a few creatures to use for attacking purposes with my favorite being Novablast Wurm. This guy with Lightning Greaves attached is a beast. The ever-popular AEtherling is here as well as the resiliant Wurmcoil Engine.
