Sideboard


It's a classic Tier 1 standard Abzan control deck. It works pretty much against all decks you could encounter in the current meta.

I switched this deck from abzan aggro to abzan morph, to abzan aggro/midrange again because I think it's more consistent in general.

Eventually, my Abzan DID win against Esper Dragons.

  • 1st Match (2-0) : Against Mono-green devotion, it went pretty quick. I managed to wipe my opponent's ramps with Drown in Sorrow early on, and he couldn't manage to ramp and cast his bigger creatures. Twice in a row.

  • 2nd Match (2-0) : Against BW Warrior. For some reason, it seems this archetype isn't played a lot, but I found it really good. Again, Drown in Sorrow saved my ass because my opponent started very fast with a lot of 1 and 2 drops like Bloodsoaked Champion, Blood-Chin Rager or Chief of the Edge. Second game, I was lucky enough to cast Whip of Erebos which maintained me alive.

  • 3rd Match (2-0) : Against...Esper Dragons! God I hate these decks. The first game went out pretty quick, thanks to my Thoughtseize I was able to disrupt his hand from creature removals and game was finished before he could land Crux of Fate or Dragonlord Ojutai. The second one was more difficult for me, went to turn 10+, but my opponent eventually cast Dragonlord Silumgar, leaving just 1 land free. I knew he wouldn't be able to counter my next spell, so I killed him with the ETB effect from Siege Rhino.
