Mythic Bant 4th place WWK game day

JundWalkers failed me at GPT Brussels going 1-3 loosing at topdeck mode. I wanted to play something different but had no time to playtest. I really liked Zvi's list from PT Sandiego and thought I'd give it a try. The list was (of course) solid and got me fourth place at WWK game day.

Mythic Bant decklist:



creature [30]

4 Baneslayer Angel
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Knight of the Reliquary
4 Lotus Cobra
4 Noble Hierarch
3 Rafiq of the Many
2 Rampaging Baloths
4 Rhox War Monk
1 Thornling

enchantment [3]
3 Finest Hour

land [27]
4 Celestial Colonnade
6 Forest
2 Island
4 Misty Rainforest
1 Plains
1 Sejiri Steppe
3 Stirring Wildwood
2 Sunpetal Grove
4 Verdant Catacombs

Sideboard:
2 Pithing Needle
3 Bant Charm
3 Negate
1 Day of Judgment
4 Mind Control
2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor

The only difference with Zvi's list was my adding 2 pithing needle's as I expect more Jace and Sparkmages. I never got to cast the artifact though.

Game one VS Jund
Against the player that won the tournament. Game one I lost due to a mulligan and a bad hand from my part. Game two I won on account of me being really fast and him keeping a bad hand. Game three was interesting. I thought I had the upper hand until he cast master of the wild hunt. I didn't have mind control and I couldn't cast baneslayer angel due to my lack of a second white mana. Managed to get him to 2 life before loosing.

0-1

Game two VS Junk
Game one was easy as I started with birds, lotus cobra and knight of the reliquary, rafiq keeping knight untapped to protect rafiq that was game.
Game two was actually very funny, I cast knight, he casts his own, he plays baneslayer I play my own. I gain advantage by mind controling his Baneslayer and he wraths. He cast emeria angel, I mind control, he pulsed , I mind control again! He pulsed again I Mind control again!! That left my opponent speechless and got me the game. Pure luck I guess.

1-1

Game three VS Elves
Didn't want this matchup cause I had no Admonition Angels.
Game one I was faster , I beat him with two fast knights. Game two accidic slime played a trick on me killing my mind controls. Game three I was faster however I had to topdeck baneslayer for the last few points of damage, if he had Eldrazi monument I would have lost.

2-1

Game 4 vs Vampires
Game one I had everything and he had nothing to stop me , it was over quickly, the next two games were a bloodbath. Game two he killed everything I threw at him with removals and multiple gatekeepers and a nocturnus alpha strike finished me off. Game three was going the same way until I mind controled his Nocturnus and then casting Baneslayer, a gatekeeper made me sac his nocturnus and a rampaging baloth followed by a fetch land sealed the deal.

3-1

Game 5 vs Jund Id
Paired against our own Pro Papasouzas, we IDed and played 5 games with Mythic going 3-2 ,however the first 3 games went 1-2 in favor of Jund.

3-1-1

Game 6 vs Naya
Game one I kept a bad hand with no forests just because I was mad with my hand (fourth time that day that happened, having 3 lands not one green source) and lost (of course). Game two was my time to win fast as the only problem I had was killing his Mystic and Ajani Vengeant , he had nothing else. Game three was long we traded blows and both won a ton of life I was lucky enough to have my opponent with only half his combo on board (he had sparkmage but no Colar). A mind control on his knight got me there just before time.

4-1-1

If you haven't already tried this deck give it a go, its fun and competitive at the same time, good stuff!
