Hey there!!! Back with a new Abzan Deck based on Plainswalkers

Concept/Idea: Show

• Three decks in one!!! Superfriends, Tokens and Counters/Creatures with great synergy...

• Early and late board with creatures Winding Constrictor, Walking Ballista, Rishkar, Peema Renegade, Verdurous Gearhulk or Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Tokens...

• Control with PlanesWalkers Liliana, the Last Hope, Ob Nixilis Reignited, Sorin, Grim Nemesis, Ajani Unyielding and removals Fatal Push, Declaration in Stone, Oath of Liliana...

• Finish the game with pumped Creatures, Plainswalkers abilities or Emblems...

• I choose all those cards because all are high threats, strong on early/late and has great synergy...
