Modern MtG — Bant Constable vs. Izzet Tempo
Channel: T1GlistenerElf
Date: 16/11/2021

With the printing of Ignoble Hierarch, I figured that it was worth trying this neat little deck out again. The brew revolves around Cephalid Constable, a three-mana 1/1 that bounces permanents from the battlefield to the hand. Of note, that's permanents, not nonland permanents. Obviously, we can get to a point where the opponent cannot keep a board down. To aid in this, Distortion Strike and Slip through Space make the creature unblockable, and exalted triggers and Vines of Vastwood pump them up, and Spell Pierce keeps the gameplan intact.

Here's the decklist from the evening at TapStart Games:
Creatures (22)
4 Cephalid Constable
4 Cold-Eyed Selkie
1 Geist of Saint Traft
4 Ignoble Hierarch
1 Monastery Mentor
4 Noble Hierarch

4 Spell Pierce
4 Path to Exile (or Prismatic Ending)
4 Vines of Vastwood
Sorceries (5)
4 Distortion Strike
1 Slip Through Space
Lands (21)
3 Breeding Pool
2 Flooded Strand
1 Forest
3 Hallowed Fountain
1 Island
3 Misty Rainforest
1 Pendelhaven
