ECall Bant

[apocolyps6]

Hey folks.

I think Eladamri's Call is a powerful and underplayed card. I put it into what I think is a reasonable shell, but need help with the specifics. At this stage I'm not concerned as much with adjusting this to beat some specific deck, but trying to find a the deck's strengths in general.



Pros: Gets any creature whereas GSZ limits us to just green ones, and some good Blue bears have been printed lately.

Cons: Whatever we get costs 2 more mana
Our deck has some number of conditional cards


Below is a first draft decklist


// Creatures (20)
4 Noble Hierarch
4 Mother of Runes
3 Spell Queller
1 Phantasmal Image
1 Gaddock Teeg
1 Lavinia, Azorius Renegade
1 Ethersworn Canonist
1 Snapcaster Mage
1 Spellstutter Sprite
1 Edric, Spymaster of Trest
1 Knight of Autumn
1 Deputy of Detention

// Artifacts (4)
4 Aether Vial

// Spells (17)
4 Brainstorm
2 Daze
4 Force of Will
4 Eladamri's Call
3 Swords to Plowshares

// Lands (19)
1 Forest
1 Island
1 Plains
2 Flooded Strand
2 Misty Rainforest
3 Tropical Island
2 Tundra
1 Karakas
4 Wasteland
2 Windswept Heath

//Sideboard
4 Winter Orb
3 Surgical Extraction
2 Spell Pierce
1 Fearie Macabre
1 Sanctum Prelate
1 Profaner of the Dead
1 Trygon Predator
1 Meddling Mage
1 Gilded Drake


We offset the cost of ECall with Vial and Hierarch, And we are blue enough to play Force of Will. With the 8 pieces of acceleration Daze becomes attractive, and then so does Wasteland.

Because we are committed to playing some number of spells, at least for ECall and Force, we don't want Thalia.

The Feedback I'm looking for:

• Which one-ofs should be in the main/board?
• The deck needs a proactive gameplan other than the toolbox. I'm hoping its something like Heliod/Palace Jailer/Spell Queller and not Goyf or TNN but it needs something.
• I'm missing lots of potential playables.

Thanks for reading!
