My first attempt at Abzan

Basically the idea is to create a lot of creatures with Whisperwood Elemental and to use Zulaport Cutthroat to drain the opponent to death.

We can do this by sacrificing the creatures to Nantuko Husk, or using the creatures to chump block the opponent.

Mastery of the Unseen for lifegain and the ability to dump our mana late-game when we don't have anything else to spend it on.

Den Protector so that we can get the spells that we manifenst and eventually let die back into our hands.

Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit Because we are going to be getting a lot of creatures onto the board and it will be nice to make them bigger. Secondary win condition if draining the opponent doesn't get us there.

Grim Haruspex So that we can draw cards. None of the creatures in the deck are tokens (Manifest creatures are not tokens!) so we can draw a lot of cards. Probably does not need to be a four of however but for now it is a playset.

Rally the Ancestors is in here because if we have a lot of creatures in the graveyard we can bring most of them back for 5 mana, 7 if we want Whisperwood Elemental, sac the Whisperwood Elemental to make manifests when our creatures die and have Nantuko Husk eat all of our creatures. Hopefully with a Zulaport Cutthroat we would just win the game.

Then to finish us off we have a few spells that are just GOOD spells like Abzan Charm and Valorous Stance.
