    4 Loxodon Smiter
    4 Sylvan Caryatid
    4 Voice of Resurgence
    1 Elvish Mystic
    1 Prognostic Sphinx

    3 Jace, Architect of Thought
    1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion

    4 Advent of the Wurm
    4 Azorius Charm
    3 Sphinx's Revelation
    2 Selesnya Charm
    1 Cyclonic Rift

    3 Detention Sphere

    4 Temple of Mystery
    4 Temple of Plenty
    4 Temple of Enlightenment
    4 Temple Garden
    3 Hallowed Fountain
    3 Breeding Pool
    3 Forest

    3 Gainsay
    3 Skylasher
    3 Supreme Verdict
    2 Kiora, the Crashing Wave
    1 Sphinx's Revelation
    1 Negate
    1 Last Breath
    1 Elvish Mystic

    Temple of Plenty and Temple of Enlightenment are the GW and UW Temples that are fairly confirmed to be in BNG. I feel that Kiora is pretty amazing in control, and probably the main reason to go Bant over the otherwise better UWR or Esper variants. The ultimate is essentially unbeatable post-board, boarding in Elvish Mystic, Gainsays and stuff for a better chance at an early Kiora , although it's fine using her as an Explore (basically to get bigger Revs compared to the non-green control variants). Stuff like Smiter and Voice put a lot of pressure on control decks, which I like a little more than a win con like Aetherling (Prognostic Sphinx seems to overall be better in this build). Has a good mono-black matchup, good against mono-blue post-board, and control theoretically should be great.

    It's a bit quirky, but I think there's a good idea there.

    I don't see why you're not capitalising on being one of the best shells for Kiora in the main. Her + Jace + Rev is a very nice draw engine, and you have the creatures necessary to defend her.

    I feel like Kiora being so weak to Mono-Blue Devotion is just a massive no-no for her in the main. It might just be that winning the mono-Black Devotion and Control match-ups Game 1 is more important though, so I might change that up.
