So, this is a Bant list I put together, ready for DTK's exit from standard. Based off a bant humans list by Petr Sochurek, I added my new favorite planeswalker, straight from emn- Tamiyo, Field Researcher. Hope you like it.

Primer-

This deck is an evolution of a Bant humans CoCo build, so all the creatures are 3-drops or less, and these will primarily be what I'm explaining.

Thraben Inspector - My 1 drop of choice. Nice t1, and will eventually replace itself, plus the 1/2 body can chump or swing.

Duskwatch Recruiter  - Me: MWAHAHAHA! Opponent: Slams head repeatedly into tableSeriously, Duskwatch is fantastic. A bear that feeds me creatures, and can get bigger and make them cheaper? I'm in love.

Knight of the White Orchid- Mana fixin'. 'Nuff said.

Lambholt Pacifist   - A 3/3 for 2 is nice. Followed immediately by a Thalia's Lieutenant or an Always Watching , it can attack for oodles of unfun.

Thalia's Lieutenant - Well, I did say it's tribal. One of my nasty growing threats, especially with Always Watching .

Tireless Tracker- My other growing threat. Fear me MOAR CLUES!! Jokes aside, it can end games on it's own.

Tamiyo, Field Researcher- Can. You. Believe. This. Card? So, a +1 that shoves cards at me, a minus that removes blockers, and an ultimate that can outright end the game if it goes off. Not Collected Company, but it's truly amazing in this list.

So, give 'er a spin and see how you like it. Please help me improve this so I can take it to my local FNM. Thanks!
