This is my budget Abzan deck!

While it shares some of the elements from Abzan decks in past PTs and GQs, it is obviously missing some of the more expensive cards (i.e. the fetch lands).

This deck is designed to keep control of the "early game" by getting rid of creatures with things like Defeat and Reave Soul , then punish opponents later with the effects of Zulaport Cutthroat, Siege Rhino, and others.

Of course, my sideboard could use some work so I am also open to suggestions as far as that goes as well.

Please send me suggestions and feel free to upvote if you like it :)
