Bant Dredgevine

The list that I used to take down an admittedly soft, 30 man TCG qualifier, by somewhat popular demand:

4 Birds of Paradise
4 Noble Hierarch
4 Hedron Crab
1 Enclave Cryptologist
1 Meddling Mage
2 Lotus Cobra
4 Fauna Shaman
4 Knight of the Reliquary
4 Vengevine
3 Ranger of Eos
1 Æther Adept
1 Linvala, Keeper of Silence

2 Path to Exile

1 Celestial Colonnade
1 Sejiri Steppe
1 Halimar Depths
1 Terramorphic Expanse
2 Plains
2 Island
5 Forest
4 Ancient Ziggurat
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Verdant Catacombs

Sideboard
3 Linvala, Keeper of Silence
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Path to Exile
1 Meddling Mage
4 Unified Will
1 Emeria Angel
1 Obstinate Baloth
1 Qasali Pridemage
2 Pithing Needle

I won't go too in depth on the deck, since I will be writing an article on it for SCG. This list plays out differently than my 4c list from the SCG Open. It isn't suicidally aggressive and therefore you don't need things like Renegade Doppelganger and Extractor Demon. While it's a lot slower and the Crabs are a lot worse, you gain the ability to deal with problematic permanents, Linvalas to steal games, and counterspells and Meddling Mages for combo decks.

I'm not entirely sure if this version is better than the 4c one. They're both Vengevine decks, but hard to compare.
