This deck aims to ramp into 3 and 4 drops that beat down your opponent and are hard for midrange-control decks to deal with. The deck leverages a number of synergies that further it's game plan.

Gavony Township + Mana dorks: the real problem with mana dorks is that they're terrible topdecks. Running 3 Gavony Township alleviates this problem dramatically while also providing things to do when you're hellbent.

Wilt-Leaf Liege + the deck: there are 16 main deck cards that get +2/+2 from this card. More importantly, it is an anthem for your flying Lingering Souls tokens and makes your mana dorks into small but sometimes critical beaters.

Maindeck Graveyard Hate: This deck can run Scavenging Ooze (if you choose) and Anafenza, the Foremost maindeck without deviating from its plan. This hedges against dredge and provides an advantage against fair decks using their graveyard for card advantage.

Options at the 3 Drop Slot: This deck can easily shape its 12 3 drops slots to the meta. Right now I've chosen not to run Loxodon Smiter but if countermagic becomes more abundant it can easily be added.

Maindeck Life Gain Cards: Kitchen Finks + Siege Rhino make it challenging for aggressive decks to kill you, which opens up your sideboard slots for other needs.

Being Abzan: Having a black splash and being white allows your to run strong disruption in your sideboard to help your combo match-ups.
