"Midweek Magic July 2017 #25 - Bant Archenemy Massacre"

I have always thought that the colors of Bant represented something honorable and pure. The Shard with the color surely had Knights and beings that shared this quality. Of course in Magic the colors can be the same but maybe show up as something else.

Sun Titans , Reclamation Sages , Coursers of Kruphix along with Jace Beleren , Tamiyo , Ajani , Karametra and Heliod all made for a deck that was bought aggressive and controlling as my playgroup experienced. 

This was the first couple of wins for the Bant deck that I have labored in improving for almost the whole month of July and even with the wins there are still some key changes in Land and mana acceleration that need to be done.



I have never thought that Bant would do well in Archenemy but that night proved it to be untrue as I controlled opponents with well timed Oblivion Rings and Mass Removals. Destroyed key Enchantments with Reclamation Sages who are not afraid to die and be returned on the Battlefield by the Landing or attacking Sun Titans.

At least for that night Bant didn't stand for the Noble and the Pure. It represented a massacre. I liked it.
