Bant Control?

How do you think Bant Control is positioned after BotG? I think with certain cards like Fated Retribution and Kiora, the Crashing Wave , Bant can be quite a strong control combo. I am very interested in hearing other's opinions on this idea as it is something I'm interested in building.

Honestly, I can't see anything that adding green to U/W control adds other than Kiora. There is no good noncreature based removal to add, no amazing finisher, no great draw spell. Kiora is fine, but U/W already had Elspeth, who is frankly a better win-con.
What exactly does adding green bring to the table?

Bow of Nylea is a really awesome cards for green to add, but isn't quite worth it if that's all you're using green for.

I would say that there's some sideboard options, like Loxodon Smiter , Mistcutter Hydra , Simic Charm , and Selesnya Charm , but really, unless you plan on facing strictly GR Monsters for the next few months, I wouldn't recommend adding green.
