I'm running wild run Bant tonight n pretty standard list. First time with this brand of Bant, though. Any special advice for me or things to watch for?

I'm assuming you mean "Wolf Run" Bant right? Bant midrange splashing red for Kessig Wolf Run ?

If so, you're going to be using your Azorius Charm to by you time until your bigger creatures hit the field. Just keep in mind that you can "cycle" these for a card at your opponent's EOT if you don't need to bounce something (useful against Esper or any other control decks)

Be wary of Notion Thief after sideboard if you come across someone running Blue/Black colors

Shhhh, the first rule of Notion Thief is you don't talk about Notion Thief .

Yes, I mean Wolf Run Bant. My phone autocorrected me and I didn't even notice. What are the bad matchups for this build? Also, do I really want Snapcaster Mage in here? Wouldn't more attackers be more beneficial?

Aggro is generally a good matchup, as long as you are running Centaur Healer or Loxodon Smiter . Esper is a terrible matchup since you can't interact with their wincon, but it is fading in popularity. I'm not sure how good the deck is vs Jund, but you definitely need a way to deal with Olivia Voldaren (something like Detention Sphere or Renounce the Guilds ). Junk Rites looks like a bad matchup, but I'm not sure.

As for Snapcaster, I doubt you want it; it depends on how many cheap instant/sorceries. For a sideboard I would recommend:

3-4 Ray of Revelation (for Bant Hexproof/Assemble the Legion )

2-3 Renounce the Guilds (for Bant Hexproof and Jund. If you sideboard these I would run Oblivion Ring over Detention Sphere in the main)

2-3 Negate (for Esper, UWR, Jund)

4 Rest in Peace (for Junk Rites/Junk Aristocrats)

1-2 Other (depending on your meta)

Good Luck!

I have a lot of control in my meta, but not Esper, so I am running Memory adept because the games are slow. I have the D Spheres, I have negate and rest in peace already. I also have blind obedience. I'll work in the Ray of Revelation. Thanks!
