Here is my take on the Abzan colored aristocrats deck for Modern.

I have played several versions ranging from LSV's standard B/G, to Wescoe's pure combo deck. I found both were lacking something in my meta so I am trying to build a hybrid version or "combo-light" that does not rely heavily on the combo, but in those long games, or situations where assembling a combo is needed you have that option. Or if things fall together quickly, you can dispatch your opponent by T4, possibly faster.

Currently looking for feedback on the build. I will put together a play primer, as I am becoming intimately familiar with this type of deck, for those who are looking to get into aristocrats/sac mechanic.

Thanks for looking.
