I'd prefer a Sword of Light and Shadow because it's effect is much stronger and versatile. I don't need to rely on having a bunch of creatures or even Rafiq out for a Sword to be devastating.

Entirely your choice. I'm just saying...

I think Hydra Omnivore would fit into this deck nicely. Also if you could help me out with my Rafiq deck that would be great!!

With Shield of the Oversoul and Eldrazi Conscription, sounds like you need a Sovereigns of Lost Alara. I'd put it in instead of the Pact of Negation.

Just wondering, have you considered Sphinx's Revelation?

+1 rafiq is my other deck. how about Edric, Spymaster of Trest as a sub commander?

You know what's great with double strike? Cipher! Stolen Identity is a really fun card.

Not sure if you've considered it, but Dueling Grounds is a very powerful effect, especially if you manage to give your Rafiq unblockable or trample.

Solid Deck. +1.

Hey friend! I run a Jenara goodstuff deck (I don't run rafiq - it's more of a control list, and he just scares people), so maybe I can help with the goodstuff part.

Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite - honestly she was very low impact for me. She just scares everyone, doesn't work with exalted well (for a 7 mana creature), and I found myself not wanting her. I swapped for Palinchron (for the combo, I run 4 ways to make him go infinite, you run 2 - Image and deadeye) and haven't looked back.

I'd suggest Lightning Greaves over swift foot boots. You aren't running too many auras, and the 1 mana matters on a tight control list.

For a control list, you seem to be lacking Reveillark. It's a bit more combo, but you can add Mirror Entity too (probably not).

Crystal Shard was always a bit lacking in my deck. I prefer recursion over bounce. I'd suggest Survival of the Fittest over this. Helps tutor any creature you need, and great if you want to add combo.

Prime Speaker Zegana - huge synergy with Reveillark, draws way more than Sphinx of Uthuun. It's less evasive, which is probably worse with your equipment package, so it's your choice.

Terastodon - I know everything thinks he's a must have in Green but he doesn't end games like he should for 8 mana. I run Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger over him. He ends games, has great synergy with sword of feast and famine, and goes infinite with Palinchron. But it's also true he has more synergy with Jenara since I can pump her.

Chord of Calling - run this card over Worldly Tutor!!! It's amazing for an end step flash in wincon or just an answer. Can't recommend enough

Voidslime - ridiculous card. Saved me many a craterhoof death, and waaaay better than Hinder, unless your group plays tuck still. Certainly better utility than Disdainful Stroke. Also Cryptic Command is tougher on the mana base, but yours seems tuned and should be able to handle it. I'd swap these two for hinder and disdainful stroke, although I understand the need for cheap counters

Boseiju, Who Shelters All - great for those uncounterable time warps, and to protect a combo you might put in. Idk what'd you take out, coming into play tapped and 2 life can make the manabase uncomfortable, but you have wargate and tolaria west.

I don't see any reason why you're running Aura of Silence over Qasali Pridemage, which is a great card. The main point is that it's recurrable with Sun Titan and Reveillark.

ramp - I've always found Hierarch and BoP to be weak. I'd rather have recurrable ramp to grind out card advantage. Sakura-Tribe Elder and Wood Elves are my suggestions here, although I can see the need to fix your mama better. I hate Nature's Lore in control lists - you can't recur it. Perhaps Farhaven Elf!

Like I said, I'm more of a control deck than you, so my suggestions might not be great. But swapping out some creatures that are functionally the same as spells you have (Wood Elves for Nature's Lore, Qasali Pridemage for Aura of Silence) seems like a great way to up the creature count. Once you do this, I'd remove Jace, the Mind Sculptor for Sublime Archangel. JTMS is good, but not in multiplayer where he's an instant target, and you don't have many blockers. He doesn't win games, while Archangel does.

EDIT: I love Glen Elendra Archmage in my list. Reveillark recurrable, decent synergy with rafiq (flying), and two counterspells on a stick. I'd also put in Mana Drain. While I can't afford it :(, it seems remarkably better than Force of Will in a 3 color deck.

Here's my Jenara list for reference! Good luck my fellow bant player.

EDIT: Where's your Academy Ruins? Absolutely amazing in a good stuff deck, especially a control one. Get back swords, even Oblivion Stone works great with it (which by the way, I suggest over Wrath of God). O-Stone is the epitome of control decks, and it's SUN TITAN RECURRABLE, which is such a huge plus in this deck.

So I know it has been a bit but have you thought about Doubling Season so that your planeswalkers can unltimate the second they hit the field? Tamiyo emblem COME ON HERE!

Pretty unique rafiq deck actually, I love it. It reminds me of my yidris deck, which is weird.... have you considered Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger? He's kinda ramp, kinda disruption, and a fatty all in one package. Real fun card

no ancient tomb or hall of the bandit lord? both are great lands that you could use while taking out tap lands
