This deck is pretty straight forward except for two cards. Get Hardened Scales + Servant of the Scale followed by Warden of the First Tree , hangerback walker or Avatar of the Resolute distributing the increasing amount of counters with servants enter and destroyed on the battlefield ability for early pressure followed by either Abzan Falconer to swing over any defense or Managorger Hydra and Anafenza, the Foremost to just batter them down on the ground. The other spells serve to either further the overload of counters or provide removal cheaply e.g. Murderous Cut, or remove things permanently to mess with any graveyardish decks by removing options for them to target(Deathmist Raptor, dragons that can targeted by Haven of the Spirit Dragon, etc.) with our Abzan Charm Advice on cuts, additions, replacements etc. would be appreciated.

g.p. oakland — Jan. 10, 2016

Edit

welp went 4-1-3 at the gp at oakland. I was dissapointed that my first opponent didn't show up to the event. second game is where i tied against a bant variation with Stubborn Denials mained. After turns he showed just two lands after his looong last few turns the salt was real. game 3 (2-1) i went against a temur beats deck with the usual savage knuckle blade, crater's claw both versions of surrak and included Sarkhan Unbroken. pretty straight forward match lost to the first with dragonclaw just giving his team trample. two and three, Servant of the Scale and consecutive Avatar of the Resolutes just was too with multiple Hardened Scales, Abzan Falconer avatar and a Managorger Hydra.game 4(0-2) anafenza the formost just wrecks this deck. that is all. game 5 (2-1) esper tokens close every game but avatar and the falconer ftw. game 6 (2-1) dark jeskai with Monastery Mentor wrecked game 3 with no green or a 3rd land when i needed it and could barely get a few walkers out. 7 (2-0) beat a fun simic ramp deck with ulamog and Part the Waterveil. felt the closest since if i did not win that turn i was always dead on the crack back. hangerback at 5+Valorous Stance= swing wide. 8(0-2)another dark jeskai but with the usual Mantis Rider and tasigur of the golden fang just got wrecked. if i had not tied who knows, i had a shot at 6-3 but failed to do so. still this is a w.i.p., changes have been made accordingly, though suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
