---

A Bant control deck with a clue win-con.

Creatures

Erdwal Illuminator: Pretty solid card all around, and gives me an extra clue each turn.

Thraben Inspector: A very nice 1 drop in almost any white deck, but holds extra value in this deck.

Tireless Tracker: The single force in this deck that can defend me. Combine this with Confront the Unknown to make a block that is not expected.

Spells

Expose Evil:Jace's Scrutiny:Press for Answers:Select for Inspection:Control cards to keep my opponent at bay until I can generate some clues. Add in the fact that most of them also generate a clue. Select for Inspection allows me to see if I want to sacrifice a clue for a needed card.

Authority of the Consuls: Slows my opponent down a bit, and provides some life. Probably will run another in the sideboard in case I am up against something I can't slow down easily.

Confront the Unknown: Combat trick to keep something alive or block, plus generates another clue.

Ice Over: A more permanent control, in case I need something locked down for awhile.

Inspiring Statuary: A nice card to help pay for most of the deck. Will have to see how this does in testing.

Open the Armory: A fetch to grab a Mechanized Production if I didn't draw one. Also can grab Ice Over if I really need it, but only if I already have a Mechanized Production.

Second Harvest: An instant speed win. Play this at the end of my opponents turn with 4 clues. Win on my upkeep.

Mechanized Production: The almighty win-con. Get 7+ clues, play this, and as long as my opponent can't remove it or my clues, I win the game on my upkeep.
