I have come upon another deck archetype which is a rebirth of a deck in the days of Innistrad Standard: Bant Hexproof. In those days, the Bant utilized powerful critters like Geist of Saint Traft & Invisible Stalker and aura spells like Spectral Flight. In this current version, I turned into just two colors with Green and White.

Theros offered Enchantment creatures that can be ‘bestowed’ to gain advantage in combat. One of the popular Bestow creatures is Boon Satyr, a 4/2 in a cheap three drop but with a Flashy bestow for combat tricks. He has already gained a spot in G/W Aggro decks and will surely have one in my list.

Speaking of which:

Selesnya Hexproof by Mark Ian Alloso
Standard

Lands
8 Forest
2 Mutavault
8 Plains
1 Selesnya Guildgate
4 Temple Garden

Creatures
4 Boon Satyr
2 Celestial Archon
4 Elvish Mystic
2 Fiendslayer Paladin
4 Gladecover Scout
4 Witchstalker

Spells
1 Bow of Nylea
4 Ethereal Armor
2 Gift of Orzhova
2 Oath of the Ancient Wood
2 Pacifism
2 Selesnya Charm
4 Unflinching Courage

Ethereal Armor would still be the best enchantment in the deck, which end games quickly with a big pump on your hexproof guy with 21 enchantments maindeck.

Aside from the usual Unflinching Courage, Gift of Orzhova is another source of lifegain and evasion.

The new enchantment choice here is Oath of the Ancient Wood which gives your creature a bonus +1/+1 pump for each enchantment that enter play. That in turn gives you a faster clock and also give you option to pump your other Hexproof critter. Let say you have a Witchstalker and a Gladecover Scout in play and you drew Ethereal Armor. You can enchant the armor to the scout to give it +2/+2 with oath in play and the +1/+1 trigger can get your Witchstalker to a 4/4.

My creature choices are of the standard, with the new inclusion of Celestial Archon. Not an impressive five drop, but an addition to Ethereal Armor pump and oath trigger. In the late game his Bestow is at much use, getting a lowly critter into a flying, first striking threat.

Pacifism & Selesnya Charm are the pseudo removals in the deck which mostly answers the popular threats in Standard.

I have not created the sideboard yet, so it would be a big help if I can get your input on this deck list. Feel free to comment on the box below. I thank you in advance.

That’s about it for this deck tech. until next post.
