NOTES:

I have tested this for a full day now. I have lost one match out of many, which I am VERY pleased with. Inspiration for this deck came from Kaleo's bant control (which after searching I can't seem to find) and my own brews.

If you want an anti-meta deck, this might be it. It beats a LOT of decks out there, both popular and janky. The only deck I have not faced so far is "Omnidoor"/"Enter the Omnidoor" ...So I don't know if it is good against that yet.

EDIT: the sb is not good. Even though the deck did well, I never used more than 1 obzedat, and I only used a cavern ONCE. I am going to replace them with other stuff, except for 1 cavern and 1 obzedat.

My attempt at the "anti deck". So far testing pretty well.

2 matches against {B}{G}{G} control (different people) one 2-1 other 2-0
1 match against {W}{G}{U} sp/{B} mirror match only played 1 game then the dude had to go. 1-0
1 match against {B}{R}{G} Midrange. He only played 1 game also. 1-0
1 match against {B}{R} control similar to mono {B} control. 2-1

That's the neat thing about a deck like this: rather than having a 4-of main wincon, I have a lot of seperate 1-2 ofs that make me win. Like tamiyo, garruk, angel of serenity, or just thragtusk overpower. Also I have 3 {Nephalia Drownyard} plus {Elixir of Immortality}. So I will usually win the mill battles.

Further testing has proved that 4 {Azorius Charm} is usually better than 4 {Fog}.

SB still needs work. Things I for sure am keeping in the sb are {Witchbane Orb} and {Centaur Healer}. The rest I am not sure of.

I just faced my latest deck with this. It was {B}{U}{G} delver tempo. I got him game 1 and game 2 he sided in a bunch of counterspells. Got me down to 2 life but I came back and ran him over with many {Thragtusks}, while a few other bombs got countered or {Appetite for Brains}'ed.
