Sideboard


Basically this deck is meant to run as a Midrange-y Beatdown deck using cards like Fleecemane Lion and Anafenza, the Foremost that are above the curve to deal damage quickly and efficiently. There's a +1/+1 counter subtheme using cards like High Sentinels of Arashin, Abzan Battle Priest and Abzan Falconer for some premiere blocking and evasion.

SB is open to suggestions.

Ideal curve is:

Turn 1: Green Land, Hardened Scales
Turn 2: White Land, Fleecemane Lion
Turn 3: Urborg or a Painland, Anafenza, the Foremost
Turn 4: Land, Siege Rhino or Reaper of the Wilds
Turn 5: Land, Ajani, Mentor of Heroes

Turn 5 swing for 17 damage. Lethal if I attacked in earlier turns.

Moved Elspeth from SB to Mainboard. Liliana's better out of the board then in the main.
- 2 Polukranos, World Eater
+ 2 Siege Rhino
Rhino's a better 4 drop for abzan decks. Thats it.
- 2 Sunblade Elf
+ 2 High Sentinels of Arashin
This one's a tenative change. I like having access to fliers more easily and with all the counters floating around, High Sentinels can get huuuge. Also eats Mantis Riders, so there's a plus.
+ 2 Whip of Erebos
- 1 Devouring Light
- 1 Ainok Bond-Kin
This is to replace what was originally going to be a Sorin. I'd still probably want to find a place for one, but Siege Rhino + Whip of Erebos is too good.
