Gameday CoCo Without CoCo Needing Assistance
Standard Deck Help forum
Posted on Aug. 12, 2016, 6:55 p.m. by Vergil_Redgrail
In short, I'm playing Bant Company for gameday, but I got scammed and have literally everything for the deck except Collected Company. I'm looking for advice on what to now for the deck, as I don't see there to be a whole lot of reason to be playing so many creatures when I don't have the Company. My current 75 was the highest placing deck from SCG Baltimore. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Bant Company Needs Help

My store doesn't sell singles, no one in a 30-mile radius has any. I tried.

There's ideas out there to raise the curve. If you don't have Coco, then you're free to run 4 and 5 costed cards, and non-creatures. Consider playing a full set of Avacyn, some number of Tamiyo, and maybe Elder Deep-Fiend or something like that.

Without coco, you are free to run a more control state. Adding stasis snares, Dec in stone, negates. Its all really fun to do. I run a want deck focused on the same principle and it runs really smooth, usually going 4-0 in my local meta. It paired up well against most any decks so its saying something without coco, you.are more free to run whatever you like and still expect good things.

Yeah, I know it can run without CoCo. I heard that most people running the deck competitively usually boarded it out. Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to see what I can do. Hopefully this mat will be mine. (It's for my girlfriend's birthday, along with many other things)

My advice is make small tweaks and don't worry about it as far as are you competitive without CoCo. The short answer is, you are still competitive. The long answer is: Bant NoCo is great. Utilize Tamiyo, Oath of Nissa, and usual creature suite along with some well placed counter magic to stay ahead on tempo, card advantage, and keep smashing. You just don't CoCo. If anything, it gives you some extra flex skis to play with. This is the hardest match for my current deck that literally steam rolls everything else at my LGS. Good luck

Yup, I've got 2 Tamiyo, and hoping to pick up some Oaths today before playing, along with some other things. I think I want to play Stasis Snare, Negate, and maybe some Clash of Wills. Thanks for the responses everyone.

I've got 25 land. Is that too much? Top of my curve looks like 1x Gideon, 2x Tamiyo, and 2x Avacyn. Thinking about adding in 1x Providence to the side. I think people don't give it enough credit.

Wow. That's.....rough. No chance of getting the CoCo's from your store beforehand?
