Your new deck is pretty dang cool. It's a little slow, which leads me to wonder if Sphere of the Suns Buy would be helpful: it'd pick up the blue and black splash you need while getting you closer to your 5-drops. Your Runechanter's Pike Buy will rarely help your tokens, as most will have evasion, not to mention you have a total of 7, 4 of which you'll want to exile. So the sphere could replace these. The Geist-Honored Monk Buy is brilliant here, up to 4. I didn't get a chance to play Drogskol Captain Buy in playtesting, adding some mana-fixing could help, and this is a nice idea. It alone won't help against common board clears, Whipflare Buy, Slagstorm Buy or Corrosive Gale Buy, but helps. Your sheer numbers will help against spot removal. Increasing Devotion Buy is devastating with either Intangible Virtue Buy and especially Cathars' Crusade Buy. Worth mainboarding? I'd balance it with the crusade. Possible future projects (I'm just speculating, haha): Try adding bounce effects, Nephalia Smuggler Buy or Deadeye Navigator Buy, with Blade Splicer Buy and Geist-Honored Monk Buy. Try splashing green for Avacyn's Pilgrim Buy to ramp into cathar's crusade, including Parallel Lives Buy to get all you can out of your Lingering Souls Buy. And why not keep the splicer in? If you add more blue, perhaps you could try Captain of the Mists Buy with Thraben Doomsayer Buy.

Very cool deck, loveing the amount of outnumbering you will be doing. I think you need a Champion of the Parish Buy in there for some heavy beating and to get out of the range of burn spells. For the mana base adding Cavern of Souls Buy as it wont hurt. Evolving Wilds Buy helps with the flashback by adding 1 swamp. and they also help thin the deck quickly. Could you please rate my 5C Reanimator deck

Not bad. You have a good set of spells to get out human and spirit tokens, and creatures to boost and utilize them. I would look at adding Thraben Doomsayer Buy for more creature production, Commander's Authority Buy as a non-creature token creator, or Avacyn's Collar Buy for creature protection and more token creation.

I built a R/W spirit tokens deck, along these lines. I've found 3 Intangible Virtue Buys and 2 Cathars' Crusade Buy works a bit better. It's still a tad bit slow, and not entirely sure what good the mausoleum guard will do (aside from adding tokens), but even so. My suggestion would be to either splash G, U, B, or R (green for Parallel Lives Buy and ramp, blue for counters, draw, and geists, Black for removal and Sorin, Lord of Innistrad Buy, and Red for burn. Please rate my R/W deck!

runechanter's pike needs to go, too few cards to buff it and they get exiled too. Drop intangible virtue in favor of more beates, specificly Jubilation angel for more buffs to ALL your doods. run 3 of the moonsilver spears; if you declare the stats of your creatures as they attack, declare the equipped guy last... say that 'crusade triggers' ... opponents often start to do combat math before the +1+1 can happen and then when they have to start their math all over again they start to make mistakes

A lot of good things have already been suggested, so I will only suggest one thing. I think sideboarding Nevermore Buy would be wise. Board wipes really hurt this deck type, trust me, I know from experience. So adding that could help stop those in some games, I do like the Surgical Extraction Buy sideboarded, and it may even be for the reason I just said, as long as you have an answer for board wipes, I think you should be good.

Thank you for the comments, guys. I especially love Nevermore's addition to the deck. I had a playset lying around not knowing what to put it in, and I think it works great here. Great sideboard option for Game 2 when I know what kind of wipes they're running. Slagstorm? Check. Killing Wave? Check. Day of Judgment? Check. Ratchet Bomb? etc etc.

Seems like you got a good deck going...I can't suggest too much other than maybe Mikaeus, the Lunarch Buy. But then again you already have Honor of the Pure Buy. Riders of Gavony Buy also seem like a possible addition

Thank you for rating my Bant deck, ill gladly rerate this deck as it looks like you have taken it a long way. I think your running to many enchantment. I would drop Intangible Virtue Buy. This frees up some space for 3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben Buy. I would then drop 3 Midnight Haunting Buy for a few additions. Either 1) 3 Oblivion Ring Buy mainboard 2) 1 more Silverblade Paladin Buy, Hero of Bladehold Buy and Gideon Jura Buy I would also swap Venser, the Sojourner Buy for Gideon Jura Buy By doing this it will free up your blue splash and Glacial Fortress Buy for 4 Cavern of Souls Buy Lastly i would swap 4 Plains Buy For 3 Evolving wilds[/cards] and 1 [card]Swamp Hope this helps

I thought a lot about Gideon Jura before putting Venser is, but I think Venser's -1 is basically "it's over, you lose" whereas Gideon's abilities only let me systematically wipe their board. Venser is also great in a token vs. token deck, as I can just make their tokens disappear without much thought. Venser's -5 is perhaps the cream of the crop, because it ensures I win. You really can't lose once you pull it off.

Nice lookin' deck! Saying this might brand me as a heretic, but I'm not a huge fan of the Geist of Saint Traft Buy. It can easily get killed by blockers... I've killed quite a few this way myself. Maybe replace him with 3 Mirran Crusader Buy for some more double strike goodness?

I find that the main concept work the only thing I would do is run the Oblivion Rings mainboard but that is due to my play area and style.
