Deck overview

This Bant deck uses Roon of the Hidden Realm alongside permanent blink engines like Teleportation Circle and Thassa, Deep-Dwelling to extract continuous value from enter-the-battlefield abilities. Early turns focus on mana ramp and deploying protective pieces like Standard Bearer to divert opposing removal. Once established, the deck draws heavily with creatures like Mulldrifter and Cloudblazer, stalling aggressive opponents with Stonehorn Dignitary. A unique subtheme leverages Eldrazi Processors such as Cryptic Cruiser and Murk Strider to process cards exiled by blink or Advocate effects. The primary victory route is an infinite mana loop using Peregrine Drake, Archaeomancer, and Ghostly Flicker, which draws the deck, wipes all opposing boards with looped removal, and creates an overwhelming Insect swarm with Hornet Queen to close the game on the following turn.
