I tried it out for about a week in testing, and came to the conclusion that it’s just not fast enough. It’s insane if you hit the absolute nut draw, but is just too slow. If you don’t get it down immediately then it becomes the worst topdeck you could imagine.

Yeah Bant is very difficult, harder even than Valakut decks IMO. Congrats on the finish, and looking forward to your report!

I went 7-2 day one and then got dumpstered on day two, before dropping after round 13. I’ll write up a tournament report on the mtg salvation primer thread, but I wanted to let you know that this deck performed very well. I was chosen for a feature match round 5 and won that handily. As it’s apparent now, Scapeshift and Big Tron dominated the field, which just happened to be the decks I lost against. Oh, and it turns out that we have zero game against Bant Eldrazi (final loss round 12). Other than a few tweaks to the sideboard and maybe +1 Dismember/-1 Ratchet Bomb main, the deck felt great. Thanks for your continued dedication to this archetype and really insightful content.

Glad you liked it! Rest assured there’s more in-depth CES content on the way.
