    Bant Hexproof

    This is an old list that won SGC Sacramento awhile back. With the printing of True-Name Nemesis, I thought about revisiting the archetype.


    4 Birds of Paradise
    4 Geist of Saint Traft
    4 Noble Hierarch
    4 Qasali Pridemage
    4 Troll Ascetic

    4 Brainstorm
    4 Daze
    3 Psionic Blast
    2 Spectral Flight
    4 Spell Pierce
    3 Unstable Mutation

    2 Forest
    2 Island
    4 Misty Rainforest
    2 Savannah
    4 Tropical Island
    2 Tundra
    2 Wasteland
    2 Windswept Heath

    Sideboard
    3 Chill
    1 Gaddock Teeg
    2 Mindbreak Trap
    2 Path to Exile
    3 Submerge
    2 Threads of Disloyalty
    2 Umezawa's Jitte


    If we're being honest, this deck, as is, is kind of a trainwreck. It did win a large tournament, but I think that had a lot to do with people being completely unprepared for the strategy.

    Fast forward to now...

    True-Name Nemesis seems like an upgrade to Troll Ascetic [evasive, can be pitched to Force of will (which needs to be included)]. Beyond that, I think Rancor deserves a slot, probably over Spectral Flight, and Deathrite Shaman seems like an upgrade to Birds of Paradise, though the flying of the birds could potentially come in handy. In the end though, I think that the versatility of DRS and the fact that it can effectively block Goblin Lackey give it the nod.

    I'll probably throw together a rough list soon and post it here, but in the meantime, what are everyone's thoughts?

    No Geist & no white. Geist just can't go to town w/o flying. And Spectral Flight has lost relevance due to Nemesis Man being unblockable anyway.
