I also play junk in paper for a while I'll send you my list. Main thing this time around is finding the best match of the new fast lands junk has gained.

TriickStarr thanks a lot. This deck will take about 10 months to be complete because it has quite a big budget. I am very curious to see what MM2017 will reprint for junk and how it will affect the prices. As for the fastlands, i think no hierarch doesnt demand a 4 of gb fastland. I am currently thinking a 2/2 split for versatility and flexibility.

You should also think about a split between Stirring Wildwood and Shambling Vent, maybe Vent-Wildwood 2-1.

I played Abzan for a long time and am currently playing Jund so let me tell you what I've learned from my experience. 1st: Urborg really isn't that useful, you're better off playing either another shock or better yet a ManLand or utility land.2nd: in the current meta game Siege Rhino is to slow, especially with no Hierarchs. But at the local level, if you're meta has a lot of midrange/grindy matchups then he is very good. But consider dropping it.3rd: If you're gonna play with Noble Hierarch then run multiples of the G/B fastland. If you aren't running Hierarch then run multiples of the B/W fastland so that you support turn 1 path.

Jasper-Sol I am not that much of a fan of the hierarch build. For the fastlands i think i will keep the 2-2 split as i dont have that many green mana sources and keeping 20 life at 3 can be good. Luckily for me my meta is quite diverse each one has a different deck. When it is done i will see how it performs and i will do some tweaks

Thanks very much for the advice! Is running Damnation over Wrath so much more worth it?

I also don't like the Hierarch version. I dropped Abzan before Worlds where LSV's list made the Top 8. Idk what is Abzan's perfect list right now, we'll just have to wait and see. As far as Damnation, yes it is much better than Wrath as your deck will always be able to support 2BB but may not be able to support 2WW. But Wrath is fine budget alternative

I'm always glad to see another build without Noble Hierarch. Confidant is good, and I'm going to be experimenting with him as soon as I get my copies. One thing I would like to suggest that has been working out really well for me is Tireless Tracker. I severely underestimated it. Anyway, the deck looks awesome. You should keep posting your results.

@robbnoble I will test Tireless Tracker at the SB and the Main. I currently try to think what to cut to get back to 60 instead of 61

Possibly lingering souls? A lot of builds only run three anyway. Of course, you could potentially cut a land. 23 is still viable with the low mana curve of the deck.
