Sideboard


An Abzan build featuring red for Crackling Doom, Kolaghan's Command and Radiant Flames.

I've liked the fact that Abzan is very versatile in the sense that it can be Aggro, midrange or control. Also, it's very consistent. But with all these aggressive decks popping up, the splash for red seemed necessary for pure value. And with this mana base, it's not all that hard to splash for the red.

Haven't lost yet, but debating on if there are ways to make this build a tad better. My main thinking is I could potentially change 1 thing in the main.... Take out 1 Dromoka's Command for something, but not sure what just yet. Also not sure if that is even the route I want to go to. Also, for the sideboard, was thinking about potentially somehow utilizing Pitiless Horde against the control match up as maybe a 2 of. Not sure how I want to do that just yet. But overall, the deck is functioning very well. There are times where I don't get either white or black some games, but the deck can still function very well with what it has even if it falls behind on a color. White is more crucial than black, and would be hardpressed to win a game without white mana, but if I were to not find black until turn 4 or 5 or even turn 6, the deck can still pull ahead.
